Jesse Tyler Ferguson is opening up about that potential Modern Family spinoff that’s been rumored to be happening.

During his appearance on Daily Pop, the new dad dished on what he’s heard about the potential project.

“Nothing is official,” he shared. “I have not been asked to do anything yet, so you know, it’s being talked about, but I haven’t heard anything official.”

The spinoff was rumored to be an off shoot of the original series and would focus on Cameron (Ferguson) and Mitch (Eric Stonestreet), as they started a new life back in Mitch’s home state of Missouri.

When the series ended last year, fans saw the two sell their brand new house and move across country as Mitch accepted a new position as head coach of a football team at a university.

If you missed it, a little known secret about the show was just revealed!

Modern Family is making its streaming debut!

THR announced on Tuesday (January 26) that the hit comedy would be making its way to streaming services on February 3. Hulu and Peacock will share streaming rights for all 250 episodes of the show.

The multiple-year deal will be the first time all 11 seasons of the Emmy-winning show will be available on both a subscription based service and an advertiser-backed platform. Peacock will rotate 12 episodes on its free service, beginning with the pilot, with the remainder available to paying subscribers.

Modern Family wrapped up its 11 season run in April with an hour long finale. Showrunners Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd hinted at the possibility for a Mitch and Cam spin off.

Craig T. Nelson, who starred in NBC’s Parenthood, almost played the role of Jay Pritchett in Modern Family. The role eventually went to Ed O’Neill.

The news was revealed in the new book “Modern Family: The Untold Oral History of One of Television’s Groundbreaking Sitcoms.”

Casting director Jeff Greenberg said in the book, “He wanted star money, and it wasn’t a star show. It’s an ensemble show. I understand from his agent that he regretted his decision. I’m not surprised.”

The show’s creators also heard he was “a bit difficult on set.” “That scared us, frankly,” creator Steve Levitan said. “There was a lack of self-awareness there and compassion that worried us. Meanwhile, all we kept hearing is that Ed O’Neill is the nicest person on the planet. We decided to pull the offer and go to Ed.”

Co-creator Christopher Lloyd said that Ed said, “Chris, this is the best 
job I’ve ever had. I would have done it for free. Don’t tell my agent, but I
 would have taken this job for free.”

Modern Family signed off the air after 11 seasons on air just moments ago and while we dry our tears, the showrunners are opening up about the potential for spinoffs.

Speaking with Deadline, Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd revealed if there were any more stories for the Dunphys, Tuckers, Pritchets and Delgados to tell.

Steve revealed that the “at the moment, I’m personally not thinking about that.”

He adds, “I think that there are a couple of writers who are thinking about well, is there a Mitch and Cam spinoff, but they’re literally just thinking about it. They’re using this time that we have now to think about it, if there’s something there.”

“I’m not driving this but I’m a huge fan of Jesse [Tyler Ferguson] and Eric [Stonestreet], and those characters are of course near and dear to me, and I certainly think that they’re strong enough to carry a show,” Steve continued. “For me, I really felt that what I needed creatively was to work on something new after working on Modern Family for 12 years and pretty much exclusively.”

Christopher agrees, saying that “it does present a possibility for us. Will that happen? I’m not sure but we would be probably dumb to not explore it. However, doing a spinoff is fraught in a lot of ways and we won’t do it unless we feel confident there’s something there, I don’t want to say it’s a long shot, it’s under discussion but we’ll see. We don’t want to jump into something like that, particularly because Modern Family is a tough act to follow, but that is a possibility.”

What did you think of the Modern Family series finale?

Sarah Hyland is looking back on the time she spent on the screen with Modern Family.

The 29-year-old actress starred as the eldest Dunphy child, Haley, for the past decade and in an essay for Glamour reflected on what she’s learned from her co-stars and more.

“Modern Family was my first comedy—the first sitcom I’d ever done. I had been in the industry 14 years, and all I ever did was crime or dramatic shows, whether it was about murdering someone or being too ugly to lose my virginity,” Sarah writes. “I didn’t do a lot of funny things. It was all very, very serious dramatic work.”

“I’m proud of myself for taking the time to study these amazing actors I’ve had the privilege to work with over the past 11 years,” she continues. “I’ve always said the best acting class is experience and observation, and I’ve been so lucky and blessed to have had the best teachers in the comedy world. I’m grateful for the show because it opened so many doors for me.”

Sarah also opened up about the last days on the set, admitting that she wasn’t shedding a tear – until something big happened.

“I’m just so grateful for the last 11 years. Leading up to the finale, I was in denial and started to feel guilty that I wasn’t getting sad like everyone else. But then, during the taping of the last episode, I saw Ty Burrell with tears in his eyes,” she says. “There’s something about seeing your dad cry that makes you want to cry. I started bawling, which actually made me feel really happy. I was like, I’m not an ice queen!”

“In the end, all of us—me, Ty, Julie, Ariel, Nolan—were in each other’s arms and sobbing. It was really amazing and cathartic to be able to have that with everyone.”

Modern Family‘s series finale airs at 9/8c on ABC.

After 11 years on the small screen, Nolan Gould is saying goodbye to Modern Family and Luke Dunphy.

While talking with ABC Audio, the 21-year-old actor joked that one of the things he’ll miss the most – the free food!

“Free food is pretty awesome. I’ve made out like a bandit over the years,” he laughed. “Sometimes I bring Tupperware in with me and, you know, we have leftovers … I bring it home with me.”

Nolan adds that the free food was particularly “great, especially as a young man, 21 years old, that’s how I survive.”

He also shared that the show has changed his life.

“The cast and crew will forever be part of my life and the experiences and the memories,” Nolan shared. “It’s changed me, like, to the core.”
