Stonestreet Discusses Modern Family Spinoff Rejection

Eric Stonestreet expressed disappointment over ABC's rejection of a 'Modern Family' spinoff featuring his character, Cam, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson's character, Mitch, relocating from California to Missouri. The proposed series, which was to include their daughter Lily and a new baby boy, was developed by co-creator Chris Lloyd and other writers. Stonestreet felt the network might have viewed them as 'old guys,' which hurt their feelings. Despite believing the project would have been a success, ABC decided not to proceed, leaving Stonestreet and Ferguson feeling undervalued. Stonestreet mentioned the possibility of a 'Modern Family' reunion special, hinting at ongoing discussions.
