When it comes to ideas about what would make a great "Modern Family" spin-off, there's no shortage of concepts considering the show's marvelous, multi-faceted characters. As explored by a TV Insider article pitching various wanna-be sequel ideas, the storylines range from the "that could work" to "not in this universe." After all, no one wants an unbelievably lazy TV spinoff of a beloved classic.
As it turns out, however, the possibility of a spin-off for the series isn't that far-fetched. As noted via Entertainment Tonight Canada, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell Pritchett on the show, told ET's Lauren Zima about a possible spin-off script during a red carpet appearance by the actor, saying, "The script's out there and it's pretty good." Ferguson went on to add that any future production of the mystery script was unknown but could happen if a willing producer stepped up. As mentioned on NME, the supposed script "was believed to have focused on Mitchell, husband Cameron Tucker and their two kids as they moved to Missouri." So, while no one is holding their breath about a spin-off at this point, it seems another potential iteration of the "Modern Family" saga does appear to exist, at least on paper.
