Actor Eric Stonestreet says a planned sitcom featuring him and his Modern Family co-star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, is unlikely to come to fruition. The two men played gay couple Cam (Stonestreet) and Mitch (Ferguson) in the much-loved show, which ran from 2009 to 2020.

Stonestreet, 53, appeared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast yesterday. He says that Modern Family’s co-creator, Chris Lloyd, thought that Cam and Mitch could carry a spin-off sitcom. He went as far as to write a pilot. Both actors agreed in principle to reprise their roles.
