‘Modern Family’ Star Eric Stonestreet Says ABC Rejecting Mitch-Cameron Spinoff ‘Felt a Little Hurtful’: ‘It Would Have Been a Slam Dunk’
Eric Stonestreet said it felt hurtful when ABC rejected a planned "Modern Family" spinoff centered on Mitch and Cameron.
“ Modern Family ” star Eric Stonestreet said during a video interview with Graham Bensinger(via Entertainment Weekly) that “it felt a little hurtful” when ABC rejected a planned sequel series that would’ve followed the lives of Cameron (Stonestreet), Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), and their daughter, Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons), as they move to Missouri for Cameron to live his dream as a college football coach. Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri, and they said, ‘No.’ They just said, ‘We don’t want to do it.’” Stonestreet stressed that the door has closed on getting the spinoff made “because it’s been so long,” although he’s certainly open to reuniting with his “Modern Family” co-stars.
