Modern Family's Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is contemplating the possibility of reprising her role as Lily Tucker-Pritchett on the popular ABC show. The 16-year-old actress, who portrayed the adopted daughter of Mitchell and Cameron, expressed her thoughts on a potential spinoff in a recent interview.
Anderson-Emmons revealed that discussions about a spinoff have taken place, with the condition that the script is compelling and the original cast members are on board. Despite the uncertainty surrounding a spinoff, she remains open to the idea, emphasizing that her education is currently her top priority.
The series finale of Modern Family, which aired in April 2020, left room for potential spinoff storylines, particularly focusing on the Tucker-Pritchett family. However, a spinoff script that was written did not get picked up by ABC, as confirmed by Jesse Tyler Ferguson in a recent interview.
Reflecting on her time on the show, Anderson-Emmons highlighted the challenges of balancing work and education as a child actor. She emphasized that while the experience was rewarding, it also involved a significant amount of hard work and dedication.
Despite the uncertainties surrounding a potential spinoff, Anderson-Emmons expressed her eagerness to return to acting and mentioned her close relationship with Ferguson, whom she often seeks advice from.
Modern Family, which also featured Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Sofía Vergara, and Ed O'Neill, concluded its successful run in 2020, leaving fans speculating about the future of the beloved characters.
