AMC President Charlie Collier answered the question on every reporters' mind at the start of the Television Critics Association's panel on Thursday afternoon:

Will Mad Men return for a third season?

Variety reports the series will return for its third season this summer.

"As long as we get the writers' room up and running over the next few months, we're fine (for a summer launch)," Collier told reporters.
