The question of a Modern Family reunion is constantly buzzing, and as of late 2025, the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan continues to fuel fan speculation with various public and private gatherings. While no official full-series revival has been confirmed, the beloved cast has made it clear that the connection forged over eleven seasons remains stronger than ever, leading to several high-profile—and some surprisingly intimate—reunions throughout 2024 and 2025.

The latest news centers around major public appearances and candid interviews where the show's biggest stars, including Sofía Vergara and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, have offered concrete updates on their willingness to return, alongside fresh details about a previously cancelled spin-off that almost kept the Modern Family universe alive immediately after the 2020 finale. The enduring legacy of the mockumentary-style sitcom, which captured the hearts of millions and won 22 Emmy Awards, ensures that the discussion around a full-fledged return is far from over.

The Pritchett-Dunphy Family: Where Are They Now? (Cast Status & Current Projects)

The ensemble cast of Modern Family has moved on to new ventures since the series finale, but their individual careers continue to dominate headlines, often intersecting with reunion chatter. This list details the current status and major projects of the core family members, providing a comprehensive biography update for the entire Dunphy and Pritchett households.

  • Sofía Vergara (Gloria Pritchett): Vergara had a massive 2024, starring as the titular character in the critically acclaimed Netflix limited series, Griselda. She remains the most vocal proponent of a revival, stating she would return "in a second."
  • Ed O'Neill (Jay Pritchett): The patriarch of the family starred in the 2024 FX on Hulu limited series, Clipped, portraying former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling. O'Neill has maintained a lower profile regarding reunion discussions but participated in the major 2024 SAG Awards gathering.
  • Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy): Bowen is actively developing several projects in 2024 and 2025. She has expressed her openness to a reboot, humorously adding that she hopes she wouldn't be replaced by a younger actress like Sydney Sweeney. She also confirmed details about a cancelled spin-off.
  • Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy): Burrell is set to star in and executive produce the new ABC comedy pilot, Forgive and Forget. He has missed some recent cast gatherings due to location and scheduling, which Jesse Tyler Ferguson jokingly addressed, but he did reprise his role in a recent commercial.
  • Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell Pritchett): Ferguson is arguably the biggest champion of a reunion, frequently sharing personal cast meetups on social media. He has continued his successful career on Broadway, winning a Tony Award, and hosts the podcast Dinner's on Me.
  • Eric Stonestreet (Cameron Tucker): Stonestreet reprised his role as Santa Claus in the Disney+ series The Santa Clauses. He was a key participant in the recent SAG Awards reunion and the commercial reunion, keeping the Cam and Mitch dynamic alive.
  • Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy): Hyland has been focusing on various acting and hosting projects, including the Peacock series Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin. She frequently expresses her affection for her former castmates.
  • Ariel Winter (Alex Dunphy): Winter has pursued new acting roles and is open to a return to the Modern Family universe, often reflecting on her time playing the intellectual Alex Dunphy.
  • Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy): Gould has focused on his college education and various independent projects since the show ended, maintaining a close relationship with his on-screen family.
  • Rico Rodriguez (Manny Delgado): Rodriguez made a 2024 guest appearance on the Disney Channel’s Bunk’d, alongside his sister, Raini Rodriguez.

The 2024 Reunions That Sparked Revival Hopes

The biggest news regarding a Modern Family reunion in 2024 wasn't a confirmed series but a series of high-profile and unexpected gatherings that proved the cast is ready to work together again. These events served as a major tease for fans hungry for new content featuring the beloved characters.

The Glamorous SAG Awards Stage Reunion

In early 2024, the largest public reunion of the core cast took place at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. Sofía Vergara, Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet all took the stage together to present an award. The sight of the six main adult actors standing side-by-side immediately sent the internet into a frenzy, with many viewers taking it as a soft launch for a potential revival.

This reunion was particularly significant as it was the first time many of them had been on a stage together since the series wrapped its eleven-season run in 2020. The chemistry was palpable, reminding fans of the group's comedic timing and deep, long-standing friendships.

The Commercial Reunion: Cam, Mitch, Claire, and Phil Return

A more surprising and arguably more potent reunion occurred in a 2024 commercial for the messaging app, WhatsApp. The commercial featured four of the main cast members—Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell), Eric Stonestreet (Cameron), Julie Bowen (Claire), and Ty Burrell (Phil)—reprising their roles. The ad playfully showed the characters using the app to communicate, in a scene that felt like a true, albeit brief, continuation of the show's universe.

This was the first time these specific actors had officially played their iconic characters onscreen since the Modern Family finale. The commercial's success demonstrated that there is a massive commercial appetite for the Dunphy and Pritchett families, even if it’s just for a 30-second spot. It also proved that the cast is willing to step back into their roles for the right project.

The Truth About the Cancelled Cam & Mitch Spin-Off

While fans dream of a full-cast revival, a major piece of fresh information in 2024 came from Julie Bowen, who shed light on a spin-off that was developed but ultimately cancelled. This project would have focused entirely on the fan-favorite couple, Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker, and their new life in Missouri.

Eric Stonestreet confirmed that the scrapped pilot, which he helped write, was in development immediately following the series finale. The spin-off was intended to follow Cam, Mitch, and their daughter Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) as they adjusted to life in the Midwest after Cameron took a new job as a college football coach.

The project ultimately did not get past the script stage, which Eric Stonestreet has openly discussed. This revelation is a crucial piece of Modern Family lore, explaining that while the creative team and cast were eager to continue the universe, finding the right story and network commitment for a spin-off proved challenging. The failure of the Cam and Mitch spin-off is often cited as the reason why a full-cast revival has not yet materialized, as the logistical challenges of reuniting the entire extended family for a new series are even greater.

The Future of the Modern Family Universe

The overwhelming sentiment from the cast is a desire to return. Sofía Vergara's "I would do it in a second" is echoed by Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. However, the logistical hurdles remain immense. The original series, created by Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, was a critical and commercial darling, winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for five consecutive years (2010–2014).

The show’s enduring legacy and its current popularity on streaming platforms (it consistently ranks high on streaming charts five years after its finale) prove that the audience is ready. For a reunion or revival to happen, it would likely need a compelling story that honors the original eleven seasons while justifying the return of the entire ensemble, rather than just a spin-off focusing on one branch of the family. Until then, fans will have to settle for the exciting, albeit brief, glimpses of the Pritchett-Dunphy family in their 2024 and 2025 mini-reunions and commercial appearances.
