As first reported in TVGuide.com, Matthew Weiner, creator of AMC's drama MAD MEN, has revealed details about the upcomng fifth season two-hour premiere airing March 25th.

The episode, entitled 'A Little Kiss' will involve a possible smooch between Jon Hamm's character, Don Draper and a yet undisclosed partner. "I like the title to have some kind of synergy with the show so it will pique your interest," teased Weiner. 

"Who says Megan's even going to be part of Don's life?" continued Weiner. "He may be back with Betty. One of my favorite scenes from [last season's finale] was when Betty offered herself to him again. And let's face it — those two look really good together."

Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell.

Created by Emmy and Golden Globe winning executive producer Matthew Weiner,MAD MEN is anchored by an award-winning ensemble cast, including Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, JarEd Harris, Rich Sommer, Aaron Staton, Robert Morse and Kiernan Shipka.

The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.
