The ‘Modern Family’ Cast Has Sure Changed a Lot in the Past 11 Years — See the Pics!

Cue the tears. Modern Family officially airs its last episode on April 8, 2020, and viewers are devastated over saying goodbye to their favorite TV families. The ABC hit show has been nominated 82 times and earned 22 Emmys over the course of 11 years.

The comedy — which stars Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Ed O’Neill, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Rico Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Nolan Gould and Eric Stonestreet — first premiered in 2009 and immediately won over viewers and critics. Throughout the series, fans were introduced to Jay Pritchett and his family — all of whom live in Los Angeles — and the crazy shenanigans they took part in.

Steven Levitan — one of the cocreators — took to Instagram to show how much the cast has changed over the last decade. “Ten years ago, we took the first cast photo outside our first #modernfamily table read,” he wrote in July 2019. “Today, the ending begins.”
