Ever sinceJesse Tyler Fergusonposted a picture of theModern Familyset on his Instagram story, fans have gotten excited. Fans speculated that a reboot or a reunion may happen, as the15th anniversary is coming this fall. After weeks of fans speculating a revival,TV Insiderreports that the Mitchell Pritchett star has now broken his silence onThe Viewabout his Instagram story post, and what he has got to say is definitely going to excite fans. Although he did say that a sequel will not be happening (“We’re doing a sequel. I’m just kidding!”), he did hint at something more exciting.
“It’s something I can’t really talk about,” he said. “Isn’t that annoying? I know. I was on the set with some of my cast mates. It’s not a reboot…Is it a movie? I don’t know.”He then acknowledged that he “probably shouldn’t have posted it” as he would then not have to respond to speculations, but added:
“But listen, this is the thing I’m really excited about. Because people are so excited about this photo, I’m just thrilled that people want us back that much. I would love to do a reboot. I think you would know if we were doing one,but there is something coming out.”
Are We Closer to a Modern Family Reunion?
Ferguson has already revealed that there is something coming, butfans will have to wait and see what happens. Ferguson is not the only cast member to be open to doing a reunion. More stars have come out and stated their interest in getting the family back together again.
The patriarch,Ed O’Neillstated that he doesn’t “like to do that stuff”, buthe would do a reunion if everyone else got involved. What is aModern Familyreunion without the patriarch Jay Pritchett? O’Neill is currently starring inClippedalongsideLaurence Fishburne, but if the time comes, there is a huge chance fans will see O’Neill be the patriarch of the family again. Vergara, his on-screen wife,is also open to a reunion.
The Luke Dunphy starNolan Gouldalsoexpressed his interest in doing aModern Familyreunion. He said, “I love that family. I love that show.If there is anything in the works, you can best believe I’m in.” However, Gould did say that he “hasn’t heard of anything,” so maybe these revival plans aren’t so concrete yet. Then again, maybe Gould knows a bit more than he lets on.
The cast has so far expressed their interest in a reunion, and Ferguson did say, “Something is coming out.” However, the cast has been super busy sinceModern Familywrapped.Ty Burrell, who played Phil Dunphy, is set to star inForgive and Forget, as a man who has early-onset Alzheimer’s. He is also on the case inTightrope, a remade drama from the 1950s series. It does seem that a reunion is likely now that Ferguson has hinted that “something is coming,” but fans will have to stay tuned toColliderto hear more and receive updates.
