Lionsgate, the studio behind the critically acclaimed AMC drama “Mad Men,” said Thursday that it had signed a long-term deal with the creator of the series, Matthew Weiner.
The new deal ensures that Mr. Weiner will continue running the show for two more seasons, and includes an option for a third. That option would take “Mad Men” through its seventh season. The deal was said to be worth $30 million, one of the biggest payouts of its kind in cable television.
