While there is no official, full-fledged reunion or reboot of Modern Family currently in the works, the cast has expressed openness to the idea, and they frequently have their own private and public “mini-reunions.”
Here’s a breakdown of the current situation:
-
Many are Open to It: Several key cast members, including Julie Bowen (Claire), Sofía Vergara (Gloria), Ariel Winter (Alex), Nolan Gould (Luke),and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell), have expressed that they would love to do a revival, a reunion movie, or a reboot.
-
Ed O’Neill (Jay) is Reluctant but Open: Ed O’Neill has admitted he is “not a big reboot fan” but has stated he wouldn’t be the one to say no if the rest of the cast wanted to do it, saying he would “see the script.”
-
A Spin-Off Was Pitched (But Didn’t Happen): There was a planned spin-off focusing on Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), Cam (Eric Stonestreet), and Lily living on a farm, but it ultimately didn’t go through. Eric Stonestreet has mentioned being “hurt” when that project stalled.
The cast is very close and has reunited multiple times since the series ended in 2020:
-
Informal Gatherings: The cast often reunites for personal events, like parties, and shares photos on social media, sparking fan excitement.
-
A Commercial: In 2023, many of the adult cast members (Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet) reprised their roles for a WhatsApp commercial.
-
Awards Show: A large group of the cast members reunited on stage to present an award at the 2024 SAG Awards.
In short, while a new season or movie isn’t official, the cast clearly enjoys spending time together and the door is not entirely closed on a proper reunion down the line.
