It’s coming to an end.
Modern Family was a TV show that broke barriers before anyone else. It was a depiction of a mixed family and how no matter who you are, or what background you come from, you can be part of a healthy, loving family.
While viewership has gone down in recent seasons, it still ranks on the top 5 scripted shows for ABC.
However, last night it was confirmed that the next season – season 11, will be its last.
Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment, said in a statement: “Chris and Steve [the creators] have created one of the most seminal and iconic comedies in television history. In its final season, there will be more milestone events that anyone who has been a fan of the series won’t want to miss.”
Meanwhile, Christopher said: “For 10 years, our characters have bravely faced turning points in life and moved through them to great personal enrichment; we have chosen a different path by doing one more season of Modern Family.”
And Lloyd also gave a very tongue-in-cheek response: “After 10 years together, we realised there are still some things our writers don’t yet know about each other’s sex lives.”
The show will be missed.
