HBO Max announced today that it will add the groundbreaking AMC show, Mad Men, in 4K for Premium subscribers on December 1. The Premium plan price is $22.99 a month or $229.99 a year.

The streamer says this will be the first time that Mad Men, which aired for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015, will be available on streaming in 4K.

“Mad Men is a great addition to the HBO Max library of iconic content,” Royce Battleman, executive vice president for global content acquisitions at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a press release. “We are thrilled that HBO Max will provide fans the opportunity to enjoy the series in a fresh way with an enhanced 4K viewing experience.”

Mad Men starred Jon Hamm as the suave but mysterious Don Draper, an advertising executive who charmed both the ladies and clients in 1960s New York.

The show, which was created by Matthew Weiner, a writer on The Sopranos, was designed as a vehicle to offer commentary on the issues of the time, including women in the workforce, media manipulation and traditional masculinity. However, it was the Draper narrative that kept viewers glued to Mad Men week in and week out. Hamm, who was a relatively unknown when he took the part, rendered an unforgettable portrayal of a man in crisis, a crisis that he keeps secret from all including his friends and loved ones.

Mad Men is often named as one of the best shows of all time.
