Season 11 Renewal of MODERN FAMILY In Sight
By: Kaitlin Milligan Dec. 11, 2018
According to Deadline, Modern Family's original adult cast, Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara, are close to deals with producing studio 20th Century FOX TV to return for an eleventh season on ABC comedy.
There are still a few outstanding issues to be resolved but an agreement on the financial terms has been reached, with all six expected to reprise their roles in a potential eleventh season.
In the most recent contract negotiation two years ago, O'Neill, Bowen, Burrell, Ferguson, Stonestreet and Vergara scored major salary increases to about $500,000 an episode, in addition to having a piece of the series' backend.
Like with previous negotiations, 20th TV is starting with the original adult cast before focusing on the original kid actors, who are now all young adults. Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould and Rico Rodriguez have started preliminary conversations with 20th TV.
Modern Family creators/showrunners Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd have said publicly that they are open to one more season. They too are said to be in early stages of deal-making but are expected to sign on to shepherd their series' conclusion. Additionally, Levitan and Lloyd are looking to keep some of their key writers for the final installment; those deals also have to be worked out.
