Modern Family‘s entry onto the list of TV shows cancelled could be delayed by over a year.
The ABC sitcom was set to end after its upcoming 10th season, however, the show’s end date could now extend into an 11th season consisting of 18 episodes, per Deadline:
I hear conversations are still ongoing between ABC and Modern Family producer 20th Century Fox TV for a shorter 11th season, with a final season order in the neighborhood of 18 episodes discussed. Modern Family creators/showrunners Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd have said publicly that they are open to one more season. I hear the cast is yet to be approached but all are said to be willing to return for a final chapter if new deals can be made.
From what I hear, while the Modern Family actors would be seeking lucrative new deals and possible raises, there are no holdouts that have made a decision not to continue.
Still, I hear the ball is in ABC’s court.to declare its plans for Season 11. ABC and 20th TV have a history of difficult renewal negotiations but there is a factor that would help ease the process this time. 20th TV will soon become part of Disney and a corporate sibling to ABC. Modern Family has a lucrative off-network deal, so it would be beneficial for corporate parent Disney to get another season.
Modern Family Season 10 premieres September 26. Do you want that to be the last in the show’s run, or would you welcome an 11th and final season? Stay tuned…
