When production on the final season started in 2019, ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said she brought up the idea of a spinoff to Modern Family co-creator Steven Levitan a lot, and every time she got “smacked down.”
But now that it’s been almost a year since the end of Modern Family, now might be the perfect time.
She mentioned that with production on the final season starting, she wanted them to focus on that and nothing else.
While other co-creator Christopher Lloyd addressed a spinoff possibility a year before that, he didn’t necessarily say it was off the table, just that they had time.
