Eric Stonestreet Recalls ABC’s “Hurtful” Rejection Of ‘Modern Family’ Spin-Off About Mitch & Cam


More than four years after the end of the ABC sitcom, Eric Stonestreet revealed he and Jesse Tyler Ferguson almost had a 'Modern Family' spin-off.

The Modern Family alum recently explained that series co-creator Chris Lloyd ‘s planned spin-off about Mitch ( Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cam (Stonestreet) appears to be dead in the water, four years after the ABC sitcom ended its 11-season run. 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 won two Emmy Awards for his performance as Cameron Tucker-Pritchett on Modern Family, which debuted in 2009, also starring Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould and Rico Rodriguez.
