Eric Stonestreet says ‘it felt a little hurtful’ when a Mitch and Cam ‘Modern Family’ spinoff was rejected

The world may never know about Cameron and Mitch’s life after “Modern Family.

The world may never know about Cameron and Mitch’s life after “Modern Family. The man who played Cameron, Eric Stonestreet, shared his disappointment about a sitcom spinoff that never came to be in a recent interview with Graham Bensinger. The show would have focused on the lives of the married couple played by Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, as well as their daughter, Lily, played by Aubrey Anderson Emmons after they moved to Missouri from California. Stonestreet was definitely down to do it when the series was pitched. “They had their chance. [‘Modern Family’ co-creator] Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri,” he said. “And they said, ‘No.’ They just said, ‘We don’t want to do it.’” The decision led to some stress, Stonestreet said, given his affection for “Modern Family.”
