"Mad Men" doesn't return for its sixth season until April 7 but AMC is already teasing the show.

The black-and-white slide-show promo, titled "The Affair of the Year," has just been released, reported deadline.com.

The two-hour season opener, airing at 8 p.m. April 7 on AMC, cable 48, was scripted by creator Matt Weiner. Series star Jon Hamm will direct the second episode when the series returns to its regular 9 p.m. Sunday time slot, according to the website.

In other "Mad Men" news, a former '50s and '60s model is suing the production company Lionsgate claiming her photo shot 50 years ago for an ad is being used in the opening title of the series without her permission.

Gita Hall May, 79, is demanding to be compensated for the use of her image which has been cropped from a 1960's Revlon ad and used in the show's opening - which won a 2008 Emmy for outstanding main title design, according to hollywoodreporter.com.

Hall, who does not have cable TV, said she only became aware that her "face and image were part of the show's opening sequence in 2012," when the series became available on home video.
