Modern Family Spinoff: Could It Happen?
Hey there, TV fans! If you’re wondering whether the Tucker-Pritchett family might reunite on our screens in the near future, well, there’s a glimmer of hope. Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who played the adorable Lily Tucker-Pritchett in the beloved sitcom Modern Family, has left the door open for a potential spinoff. She recently shared her thoughts during an interview with the Daily Mail, and let’s just say, it’s worth keeping an eye out for updates.
When asked about the possibility, Aubrey revealed, “They really haven’t said much about anything. But my mom asked me, ‘Would you want to do that?’ and I thought about it, and honestly, I don’t know.” This response suggests that while nothing is set in stone, Aubrey hasn’t completely ruled out the idea of reprising her role as Lily. After all, who wouldn’t want to catch up with the hilarious antics of the Tucker-Pritchett clan?
High School Comes First, But...
Aubrey, now a high school student, added that she’d love to stay focused on her education for now. “I think maybe if it happened—and probably if it did happen—I would be out of high school. So honestly, that would be fine with me, but I want to stay in high school because I only have less than a year and a half left,” she explained. It’s clear that Aubrey is prioritizing her studies, but she’s also open to the idea of returning to the world of Modern Family if the timing feels right.

A Journey Through the Years
For those who might not know, Aubrey began her acting journey at just four years old when she joined the cast of Modern Family as Lily Tucker-Pritchett in season three. Over the course of the series, which also starred Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet, Aubrey’s character grew from a toddler into a teenager, capturing the hearts of millions along the way. The series concluded its 11-season run in 2020, leaving fans eager to know what’s next for the beloved characters.
“I’d definitely be interested if the script was good and the dads were on board, but school is my priority right now—unless something great comes along,” Aubrey continued. This sentiment echoes what many fans have been hoping for: a well-crafted continuation of the Tucker-Pritchett story. After all, who wouldn’t want to see how Lily, Cam, and Mitch are faring in Missouri after their big move?
A Look Back at the Series Finale
In the series finale, Lily moved to Missouri with her dads, Cam and Mitch, who also adopted another baby named Rexford. Fans of the show would undoubtedly love to catch up with the family and see how they’ve adjusted to their new life in the Show-Me State. The idea of a spinoff offers a tantalizing opportunity to revisit this branch of the Modern Family tree and explore their adventures further.
Potential Spinoff Buzz
Aubrey isn’t the only one talking about a possible spinoff. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played Mitch, revealed in a June 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight that a script for a spinoff had been written. “The script’s out there and it’s very good,” he shared. “So, you know, who knows? If someone wants to produce it, maybe.” Despite the promising words, ABC hasn’t picked up any Modern Family spinoffs yet. Jesse noted during a May 2022 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that “there were discussions,” but after 11 years, the network might have been ready for a change.
Aubrey revealed that she hadn’t seen the script in question, stating, “I didn’t even know about it until it had been dead for quite a while because the kids are usually the last to know.” Despite this, she admitted that she’s “really eager to get back to work as an actor.” Fans of Modern Family can only hope that the right opportunity arises to bring the Tucker-Pritchett family back to our screens.
