In May 2022, Jesse Tyler Ferguson gave "Modern Family" fans a disappointing update on the Mitch, Cam, and Lily spin-off title. During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Ferguson revealed that ABC has elected not to move forward with it. "I think the network decided against it. That's the first time I've ever said that," he stated, adding, "We'd been on for 11 years, and I think they were ready to move in a different direction." With that, it seems unlikely that we'll get to see the Tucker-Pritchett family take a spotlight all their own as they acclimate to their new life in Missouri, where they moved in the "Modern Family" final season.
While the future of the Mitch, Cam, and Lily show is bleak at the time of this writing, if you want to see it happen, all you can really do is remain positive that it'll see the light of day. That's what Ferguson himself is doing, seeing as a month after admitting that the show wouldn't happen, he shared that the script was completed. "The script's out there, and it's very good. So you know, who knows? If someone wants to produce it, maybe," Ferguson told Entertainment Tonight, teasing that, in some form or fashion, the program could become a reality under the right circumstances.
We'll just have to wait and see if the Mitch, Cam, and Lily "Modern Family" off-shoot will actually happen. If you're interested in it, make sure to keep your fingers crossed for someone to come along and pick it up.
