ActorJesse Tyler Ferguson is sharing what led to him ultimately deciding that a Modern Familyspin-off series wasn't for him.
E! News reported that on the March 3 episode of his podcast, Dinner's on Me, Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet, who played husbands Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron "Cam" Tucker, were approached to film a spin-off series following Modern Family's 2020 series finale.
“Modern Family ended and then we had a pandemic. I was so excited for this next chapter of my life, and then it was like, ‘Everyone go inside.’ During that time, they were brewing this idea of maybe doing a spin-off with Eric and I, which I was interested in, but I was also supposed to do this play in New York," said Ferguson during the podcast episode.
Ferguson explained that he eventually discovered he was ready to try something completely new and not tied to his Modern Family character.
“As the reality of maybe the spinoff was actually going to happen, I literally felt like, ‘Oh my God, I want to date other people.' Is what I felt like. I have to feel what it’s like to not do that. It didn’t end up working out," stated Ferguson while recording his podcast.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson Revealed He Auditioned for Cameron Tucker
Ferguson began starring as Mitchell on Modern Family during the ABCsitcom's first season, which premiered in 2009. The actor shared, however, that he had originally auditioned for the role of Cam in a 2024 interview on The Great Creators with Guy Raz. Ferguson clarified that he was always drawn to Mitchell, but the show's casting department had only wanted "to see [him] for the role of Cam." Ferguson explained that he wasn't overly interested in playing Cam because it "just felt like a role [he had] kind of done before."
He said when he auditioned for Cam, he decided to read the part as if he were playing Mitchell, who is more grounded and sarcastic than his husband. Ferguson said his decision made the creators of Modern Family, Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, realize he was the right choice for Mitchell.
