Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet says 'it felt a little hurtful’ when ABC rejected Mitch and Cam spinoff idea

'Modern Family' star Eric Stonestreet says 'it felt a little hurtful’ when ABC rejected Mitch and Cam spinoff idea: 'I think it would have been a slam dunk.'

The Modern Family sequel would have zoomed in on the Tucker-Pritchett's, after they welcomed baby boy Rexford and moved to Missouri so Cam could follow his dream of becoming a college football coach. Though he acknowledged that Modern Family ’s other creator, Steven Levitan, was "understandably" concerned about diluting the brand by doing a spinoff just for the sake of it, Stonestreet says that wouldn’t have been the case. Modern Family aired on ABC from 2009 to 2020, spanning 11 seasons with stars Stonestreet, Ferguson, Anderson-Emmons, Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Sarah Hyland, Ed O'Neill, and Rico Rodriguez.
