Mad Men won't return until the spring of 2012, but at least fans can take comfort in knowing that Don Draper will be there - smoking, imbibing and reflecting - when new episodes finally air again.

Jon Hamm has signed a new contract with the series.

This move means the drama is that much closer to production, following a messy contract negotiation between creator Matthew Weiner and AMC.

While Hamm won't be back in his Emmy-nominated role for months, he's still churning out hilarious Bridesmaids quotes on the big screen. Seriously, if you haven't seen this Kristen Wiig-penned comedy yet, do so now. Seriously. Just go. We won't tell your boss.
