Scientologist Elisabeth Moss just dropped a nostalgia bomb, and it smells like cigarette smoke, sexism, and emotional repression—aka Mad Men.
You remember Peggy Olson, right? The secretary-turned-copywriting queen who clawed her way out of the typing pool and into our hearts? Yeah, that icon. Well, the actress behind her—Elisabeth “Emmy Collector” Moss—just spilled the tea (or maybe an Old Fashioned?) on whether she’d ever slip back into Peggy’s vintage pumps.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live (aka “Bravo’s official late-night confessional booth”), Elisabeth was asked by Andy Cohen the question we’ve all screamed into the void at 2 a.m.: Would she return for a Mad Men reboot?
Instead of dramatically lighting a cigarette and saying, “That’s ancient history, darling,” she hit us with the opposite.
“Thank you for wanting that,” she said, probably blushing, or at least pretending to because she’s polite and adorable. “I would never say, ‘No,’ to anything like that. I’m not one of those people that’s like, ‘I want to move on and do…’”
(Translation: “Look, if y’all want more Peggy, I’ll clear my schedule faster than Don Draper downing a Scotch at 10 a.m.”)
She went on to call Mad Men “one of the greatest things I’ve ever done and will ever do,” which—wow—has to sting a little for all her other projects. (Handmaid’s Tale, blink twice if you’re okay.)
“I would be super happy to play that character again,” she added, probably while daydreaming about pencil skirts and typewriters that don’t autocorrect “ducking.”
So, is a Mad Men reboot confirmed? No. Is Elisabeth Moss emotionally available for one? Absolutely. Let’s get Jon Hamm on the phone, dust off the fedoras, and make television sexy and emotionally complicated again.
