Could the Pritchett-Dunphy clan be reuniting? Fans of the beloved ABC sitcom “Modern Family” are buzzing with speculation after recent social media posts by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.
Ferguson, who played Mitchell Pritchett on the show, shared a photo on his Instagram story on Thursday featuring a familiar sight – the “Modern Family” set. The caption, “Haven’t seen this view in a while,” sent fans into a frenzy, wondering if a reboot might be in the works.
Stonestreet, Ferguson’s on-screen husband, joined the fun by posting a similar photo of Ferguson (with a slightly aged appearance) on his own Instagram story, using the same caption.
While ABC has made no official announcements about reviving the show, which ended its 11-season run in 2020, these posts have certainly sparked a firestorm of anticipation.
The possibility of a reunion isn’t entirely out of the blue. In February, the cast had a heartwarming moment at the SAG Awards, presenting the Ensemble in a Comedy Series Award (which “Modern Family” won four times during its run). Their nostalgic reunion even prompted Ferguson to jokingly ask if it was “too early to talk about a reboot.”
Sofia Vergara, who played Gloria Pritchett, expressed a desire for more time during a January appearance on “The Tonight Show.” She playfully noted that the cast, particularly Ed O’Neill (Jay Pritchett) at 78 years old, might need a bit more time to get ready. O’Neill himself, while not a huge fan of reboots, has admitted to being open to the idea due to his positive relationships with the cast.
Ferguson also hinted at a potential spin-off during the 2022 Tony Awards, revealing the existence of a “very good” script. Whether a full-blown reboot or a spin-off takes shape remains to be seen, but one thing is clear – the “Modern Family” family holds a special place in the hearts of both the cast and the fans.
With the cast seemingly open to the idea and fans clamoring for more, could a “Modern Family” reunion be on the horizon? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the Pritchett-Dunphy clan continues to bring joy and spark conversation even after their final bow.
