MODERN FAMILY, SUBURGATORY, CASTLE Among Series Renewed by ABC

ABC has renewed its hit comedies "Modern Family," "Suburgatory" and "The Middle" as well as dramas "Grey's Anatomy," "Revenge" and "Castle." The shows join the just announced second season of "Once Upon a Time."

The pickups - confirmed by network sources this afternoon - were widely expected. "Modern Family," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Once Upon a Time" all finished in the top 20 among adults 18-49 last week while "Castle" just wrapped its most-watched season to date.

Meanwhile, freshmen "Revenge" and "Suburgatory" have posted significant year-to-year gains for the network in their Wednesday time slots, while "The Middle" closed a healthy off-network deal with ABC Family back in March.

“Modern Family” stars Ed O’Neill as Jay, Julie Bowen as Claire, Ty Burrell as Phil, Sofía Vergara as Gloria, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron, Sarah Hyland as Haley, Nolan Gould as Luke, Ariel Winter as Alex, Rico Rodriguez as Manny and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons as Lily.
