The Dunphy and Pritchett Cast: Latest Projects and Career Shifts in 2025
Since the 11-season run concluded, the cast has made deliberate choices to challenge their comedic typecasting, with several stars landing high-profile roles that showcase their dramatic range, cementing their status as versatile actors. This new wave of projects is what fans are buzzing about in 2025.
Sofía Vergara’s Dramatic Turn and Ed O’Neill’s Return to Prestige TV
Sofía Vergara, who played the unforgettable Gloria Pritchett, made a massive splash by taking on a dramatically different role. In early 2024, she starred in the Netflix limited series Griselda, portraying the notorious Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco. This performance was a significant departure from her comedic work and garnered widespread critical attention, proving her capabilities beyond the sitcom format.
Meanwhile, Ed O’Neill, the beloved Jay Pritchett, returned to the small screen in the 2024 FX on Hulu limited series Clipped, a role that brought him back to prestige television four years after the Modern Family finale.
Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy) has been selective with his post-Modern Family work, reportedly taking a break from major live-action roles to spend more time with his family. However, he has continued his voice work, a notable part of his career, and is still an active entity in the industry. Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy) has also been busy, not just acting, but also focusing on developing new projects in 2024, hinting at a potential move toward directing or producing.
The Younger Generation: Broadway, Voice Work, and New Directions
The actors who grew up on the show have also ventured into exciting new territory. Rico Rodriguez (Manny Delgado) has been actively pursuing new roles, including voice work, with projects extending into 2025, showing a commitment to diversifying his career beyond his breakout child role.
Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy) has continued to embrace hosting and acting roles, while also using her platform as a mental health advocate. Ariel Winter (Alex Dunphy) has pursued various acting and voice-over opportunities, taking on roles that are starkly different from the highly academic Alex. Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy), who famously revealed his Mensa membership after the show, has also been exploring new avenues in film and television.
The Long-Awaited Modern Family Spin-Off: The Truth in 2025
Perhaps the most persistent question among fans is whether the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan will ever reunite on screen. The answer, as of 2025, is a tantalizing "maybe," with solid evidence that the idea is more than just fan speculation.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played Mitchell Pritchett, has been the most vocal about the potential for a continuation. He has revealed that a script for a Modern Family spin-off series has actually been written. The initial concept, which was rumored to focus on Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker (Cam and Mitch) moving to Missouri, was reportedly passed on by ABC, a decision that still puzzles many industry insiders.
However, the existence of a completed script, as confirmed by Ferguson, keeps the hope alive for a future revival or a new series focusing on one branch of the family tree. The dynamic between Cam and Mitch remains a fan-favorite, and the potential for a spin-off centered on their life in the Midwest, or perhaps a new life back in California, is a constant source of discussion online.
The cast members have frequently expressed their love for the show and their co-stars, often sharing reunion photos on social media, which only fuels the revival fire. The show’s incredible success, including its five consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, makes a spin-off a commercially appealing prospect for any network.
While no official announcement has been made in late 2025, the recent career moves of the cast—especially the dramatic shifts by Sofía Vergara and Ed O’Neill—show that they are all still at the top of their game, ready to return to their beloved characters should the right opportunity, and the right script, come along.
The legacy of Modern Family is secure, but its future remains open. Fans eagerly await any news from creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, hoping for the day the cameras return to the chaotic, loving lives of the Dunphys and Pritchetts.
