‘Modern Family’ Creator Comments on a Potential Mitch and Cam Spinoff Show
After growing up with the Dunphy-Pritchetts, itās hard for fans to say goodbye. However, this spring, Modern Family premiered its very last episode. Will there be a Modern Family spinoff featuring some of the original characters? Hereās what we know about ABCās award-winning comedy series.
āModern Familyā premiered its last episode during 2020
After about 10 years, the cast of Modern Family said their final goodbyes. This Emmy Award-winning series ended after 11 seasons, making it one of ABCās most successful comedy seriesā
Alex went to work on research. Mitch and Cam moved away. Hayley and Dylan moved into Mitch and Camās old house. But the light at the Dunphyās will always be on. Could that mean Modern Family will return for another season? Or a spinoff show?

Some fans are calling for the return of characters Mitch and Cam
Although theyāre off on a new adventure with Lily and a new baby, some fans are wondering whatās next for the couple, Mitch and Cam. Could these characters (and the actors behind them,) potentially return for a spinoff of the ABC comedy series?Ā
According to creators of the television show Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, itās not something theyāre thinking about. Not at the moment, anyway.Ā
As of April, thereās no Mitch and Cam spinoff in the works
Modern Family co-creators Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd shared their thoughts on a potential spinoff of ABCās award-winning comedy series. As of April 2020, itās unlikely, but not completely out of the question.Ā
āAt the moment Iām personally not thinking about that,ā Levitan said, according to Out Magazine. āI think that there are a couple of writers who are thinking about well, is there a Mitch and Cam spinoff, but theyāre literally just thinking about it. Theyāre using this time that we have now to think about it, if thereās something there.Ā
āIām not driving this but Iām a huge fan of Jesse and Eric, and those characters are of course near and dear to me, and I certainly think that theyāre strong enough to carry a show,ā he continued. āFor 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.ā
āNo. We wanted to have them off on a new journey, and it seemed symmetrical to have Mitchell follow Cam some place and maybe be around Camās family because Cam had played that role in Mitchellās life for the last 11 years,ā Lloyd added. āCam had this opportunity to do something wonderful and exciting, Mitchell felt okay, that makes my obligation to let him chase his dream, and I will go with him and see what that life is like for me.ā
Some fans still have their fingers crossed for future episodes featuring the Dunphy-Pritchett family. Until then, episodes of Modern Family are available for binge-watching on the streaming platform, Hulu.Ā
