LOS ANGELES – Sofia Vergara, known for her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on the hit sitcom “Modern Family,” recently discussed the possibility of a reboot during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” The Colombian star expressed that she believes it is still too soon for a reunion, despite sharing a picture with her former co-stars on social media before the holidays in November.
When asked by Fallon about the timing of a reboot, Vergara replied, “No, it’s only been four years.” She further explained that she feels they need more time before considering a comeback for the beloved show.
Fallon proposed the idea of a holiday special for the cast to reunite. Vergara agreed and jokingly asked Fallon to produce the show. She revealed that she stays in touch with the entire cast through a group chat, but it can be challenging to communicate with Ed O’Neill, who played her husband on the show. According to Vergara, O’Neill is not a big texter and takes up to 26 weeks to reply to messages, often resulting in forgotten conversations.
“Modern Family,” produced by 20th Television and aired on ABC, concluded its 11-season run on April 8, 2020, with a total of 250 episodes. The show also starred Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.
While a reboot may not be on the horizon just yet, fans of “Modern Family” can reminisce about their favorite characters and moments from the show’s successful run.
