Thanks to the Ausiello Files, we have a new taste of season 4-style Don Draper.

In the poster, Draper (Jon Hamm) is in an empty room with just a telephone. (It's back to basics, people!)

Season 4 of "Mad Men" premieres on Sun., July 25 at 10PM ET.

"Mad Men" Exclusive: Creator and Stars Dissect Season 4's Fresh Start
Jun 29, 2010

It's no accident that "Mad Men's" Season 4 promo poster seems to promise a fresh start for Don Draper & Co.

"It's almost like this first episode is a new pilot," new series regular Jared Harris says of the Season 4 premiere in the exclusive video below.

"[Creator] Matthew Weiner gets to chuck all the cards up in the air and rearrange them in any way he wants again."

Some of those cards will no doubt focus on how Don (Jon Hamm) is adjusting to being newly single while launching his own ad agency, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.

But what about Betty (January Jones) and her new politico boyfriend? And what will happen now that Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) and Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) are working more closely?

Weiner insists that the consequences of previous seasons will remain key to the storytelling.

"I wanted to have a continuity of these characters and things that are happening to them ... and don't pretend like that they didn't happen," Weiner says.

"At the same time, be prepared for the fact that for a lot of the things that happened, you're going to have to watch and see how they worked out."

Then again, Hamm suggests that no amount of fresh starts will ever truly revamp Don Draper.

"I think the show has ably proven over its first three seasons that people don't really change their ways," he says.
