Modern Family: Mitchell Actor Confirms Spinoff Script Exists
Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson has revealed that a spinoff script for the hit show exists. Modern Family ran until season 11, ending its impressive stint on ABC in 2020. The hit comedy series landed 22 Emmy awards from 75 nominations, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series (Musical or Comedy) in 2011. Early Modern Family seasons were praised by critics, though later seasons received more mixed reviews. However, the hit show maintains a loyal fanbase even two years after its finale.
The series creators, Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, crafted a show that hilariously explored various types of American families in modern society: blended, nuclear, and same-sex.

Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet featured as Mitchell and Cameron, fathers to their young adopted daughter, Lily.
