10 Years After 'Mad Men,' Where Are Cast Members Now?

Few television series have left as lasting an impact as Mad Men, the critically acclaimed drama that ran from 2007 to 2015. Set in the high-stakes world of a 1960s advertising agency, the show followed the enigmatic Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm, and a cast of compelling characters navigating personal and professional upheavals. Created by Matthew Weiner, Mad Men won numerous awards, including multiple Emmys and Golden Globes, solidifying its place as one of television’s most iconic dramas.

This year marks a full decade since Mad Men’s final episode aired on May 17, 2015—a bittersweet farewell that left fans both satisfied and nostalgic. Even ten years later, the show remains influential, with its storytelling, aesthetics, and character-driven narratives. The performances of its ensemble cast, from Jon Hamm’s brooding Don Draper to Elisabeth Moss’s ambitious Peggy Olson, have only grown more legendary with time.

To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Mad Men’s conclusion, L’OFFICIEL takes a deep dive into what the show’s stars have been up to since bidding farewell. From leading film roles to television comebacks, directing gigs, and even voice acting, the cast has remained just as dynamic and influential as ever.
