Shocking news for all fans of Modern Family

Love binge-watching Netflix and laughing so hard you pee your pants with a show like Modern Family? It's a bit of a shock, but your dose of Netflix will never be the same again.

No, but this is really not funny. A very beloved and established character is going to die in the series soon. Seriously. In a comedy. That shouldn't happen, right? Modern Family is about the Pritchett family and is one of the most popular series of recent years. The show has won dozens of major awards for its innovative aspect. Not ordinary families and their dramas, but rather ‘those modern families.’.

Creator Christopher Lloyd naturally doesn't want to reveal who it is. But we are sure of one thing: if it's Phil, we will never watch again. Or is it Jay, the oldest of the bunch? Or maybe Mitch or Cam? ‘The family experiences the big things in life,’ he says. ‘And death is of course part of that. It's never easy to do that in a television series. But on the other hand: it would be very strange if the Pritchett and Dunphy families didn't have to deal with it.’

Why everything goes wrong in the new season? After this year, the contracts of all actors and actresses expire. So who will return for the next season is still a question. Actually, the series was supposed to end after 10 seasons. Co-creator Steven Levitan thinks it will go differently: ‘I notice that everyone is eager to continue.’ But with whom, that remains to be seen. We are already crying a little bit. Because that one episode that is still to come... Phew. Do you dare to watch?
