Four years after the end of Modern Family on ABC, actor Eric Stonestreet is reflecting on the spinoff that didn't come to be. While Stonestreet was hoping to co-star in a spinoff alongside Jesse Tyler Ferguson which would have followed Cam and Mitch, the series was passed on by the network.

Per Deadline, Stonestreet discussed his desired Modern Family spinoff during an interview with Graham Bensinger.

It's not uncommon for fans to get invested in a new, interesting TV show, only for the series to go off the rails during its run. While this has happened to programs like Riverdale, Game of Thrones, and Prison Break, which all went downhill to varying degrees, a few great TV shows have never suffered from a bad season.

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons successfully replaced the original actresses and portrayed Lily consistently in Modern Family. Recasting a character can work well if the new actor brings their own strengths and stays true to the character's traits. Skylar Astin's portrayal of Greg in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend added a fresh dynamic to the show while staying true to the themes of magical realism. Sometimes, recasting leads to groundbreaking representation.
