Jesse Tyler Ferguson Just Teased A “Modern Family” Reunion Ahead Of Its 15th Anniversary
Somehow, this fall, Modern Family turns 15. It's old enough to be in high school! In the era of reboots, sequels, and spinoffs, we're also getting plenty of reunions and I am NOT mad about it. Now that the One Tree Hill cast wants to do a reunion AND we're getting a third Downton Abbey movie, I am just craving a movie or special with all my favorite cast members. Apparently I'm not the only one because Jesse Tyler Ferguson just teased a Modern Family reunion. And, of course, the internet has gone wild.

"Haven't seen this view in a while," Ferguson said on his Instagram story. He posted a photo of the Modern Family set and I am surprisingly comforted by this one frame. The shoes, the umbrellas, even the basket — all the details remind me how much this set feels like a true home. I'm not crying, you are!
And fans of the show are more than excited about the idea of a Modern Family reunion. "WHAT THE ACTUAL F—K IS HAPPENING?!!!" one X user tweeted. "ARE WE READY GETTING A MODERN FAMILY REUNION SHUT UP I AM SO SERIOUS."
"No but a modern family reunion would actually heal me," another agrees.
The Modern Family cast recently reunited at the 2024 SAG Awards to present “Ensemble in a Comedy Series,” which was won by the cast of The Bear. The onstage reunion was a welcome sight after a get-together in November 2023 accidentally looked like a memorial for Ty Burrell!
"The last time we had a reunion, Ty Burrell wasn't able to come, and so we posed with photos of Ty," Jesse Tyler Ferguson told Jimmy Fallonin March of 2024. "Because he was the only one who wasn't there. We had all the kids and everyone...Then, the internet thought he was dead." TBH, that kind of miscommunication is just random enough to be the plot of a future Modern Family episode.
However, one of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's cast mates isn't so sure about a reunion himself. “I don’t like to do that stuff,” Ed O’Neill (who played Jay Pritchett on the show) says in an interview with TV Insider. "I mean, I am open to it. I like everybody involved, so I wouldn’t be the guy who [says no if everyone else wants to]. I wouldn’t do that.”
I hope we get to see a Modern Family reunion sooner rather than later!
