Sofia Vergara, best known for her role as Gloria Pritchett in the beloved sitcom Modern Family, recently shared her thoughts on the possibility of a reboot or reunion. Speaking in early 2024 on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress felt it might be too soon to bring the series back to television. The Emmy-winning show concluded its 11-season run in April 2020, leaving fans nostalgic for its quirky characters and heartfelt moments.
Reboot? Not Yet
When Jimmy Fallon asked if viewers could expect a reunion or continuation, Vergara responded humorously:
“No, it’s only been four years.”
She explained that the timing didn’t feel right for a full-fledged reboot. Pressed on how long it might take for a revival, she added:
“I feel like we need a little bit more time.”
Despite her reservations about a comeback, Vergara entertained the idea of smaller-scale projects. When Fallon suggested a holiday special, she playfully invited him to take charge of producing it.
Reunion Moments
Fans have already seen glimpses of the Modern Family cast coming together. Earlier in 2024, the team reunited at the SAG Awards, sparking discussions about potential future collaborations. While no plans for a reboot are in motion, such appearances keep fans hopeful.
Vergara also reflected on her dynamic with her former co-stars. She shared a humorous comment about Ed O’Neill, who played her on-screen husband, Jay Pritchett:
“Well, we don’t have much time because Ed is old.”
Her lighthearted remark added a comedic touch, reminiscent of the show’s iconic humor.
Although a television reunion might not be imminent, the cast remains in touch through a group chat. However, Vergara jokingly noted that keeping up with Ed O’Neill was challenging due to his slow response time:
“He takes like 26 weeks to reply. By then, we’ve forgotten what we were talking about.”
A Legacy Worth Waiting For
Since its conclusion, Modern Family has continued to hold a special place in the hearts of fans, with rumors of spin-offs and reunions frequently surfacing online. While Vergara’s remarks suggest that a comeback might take time, her openness to smaller projects hints at the potential for something exciting in the future.
