Modern Family Star Reveals Mitch & Cam Spin-Off Was Discussed At ABC
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, star of ABC's hit sitcom Modern Family, recently revealed to Andy Cohen that there were initial talks for a Mitch and Cam spin-off series after the finale. Creators Christopher Lloyd and Stephen Levitan came up with the idea for Modern Family after telling stories of their own families to each other, and the series premiered on the network in September 2009. After a successful eleven-season run, the show was eventually brought to an end in April 2020 with the series finale.
Modern Family follows three different families, all of which are related through the patriarch, Jay Pritchett, and sees them navigate the trials and tribulations of not only their own personal lives but also life with such a complicated family. Along with Ferguson, the star-studded cast included Ed O'Neill, Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Eric Stonestreet, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, and Rico Rodriguez. Out of all the characters, Mitch Prichett and Cam Tucker were always extremely popular among audiences, along with their adopted daughter, Lily.
