Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner recently revealed his thoughts on the final season being split up into two parts and addressed spinoff rumors.

With the announcement Tuesday that season 7 of Mad Men would be split up with seven episodes in 2014 and seven in 2015, Weiner said that he's figuring out how to adapt to it.

"It's a strategy from the network and I was told about it," Weiner told The Hollywood Reporter in a Thursday interview. "I found a way to work with it. That's all I can say. I think it's an opportunity."

The showrunner explained that each season essentially begins with a new story.

"For me, I start over," he continued. "And there's this kind of thing that happens with the audience every year where it's like they're very happy to see us back in the premiere and when the new story starts around episode two they start getting antsy and then they get with it by episode three when they see it's a new story."

Weiner will have to face this reception two more times assuming the second half of season 7 tells a different story from the first half.

Weiner also addressed rumors that there may be a Mad Men spinoff after the show is over.

"There's no chance," he said. "No judgment against anybody else -- but this is it. This is the story. When it's done, it's done."

Mad Men cast members Christina Hendricks (who plays Joan) and Kevin Rahm (Ted) have each suggested potential spinoffs for their characters in previous interviews.

AMC recently announced that they would be producing spinoffs of Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, two of their biggest hit shows.

Part 1 of the final season of Mad Men premieres in spring 2014.
