Sofia Vergara is up for a Modern Family reboot.
The 52-year-old Colombian-born actress told Variety that she thinks a one-off TV movie would be perfect.
‘I’d die to be on that set,’ the brunette said during her cover story where she focused on Griselda. ‘It’d be so much fun. A TV movie maybe?’
And the actress has a running joke with her 78-year-old costar Ed O’Neill about it.
After seeing him star as LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling in the series Clipped, she told him, ‘You look f***ing old.”
‘I always joke with him,’ she said, adding she tells him, ‘Ed, don’t die. Because if we do the sequel, it will take some time, and you’re the oldest of us. You can’t be dead!’

Modern Family ran for 11 seasons, from September 23, 2009, to April 8, 2020.
It revolved around three different families living in Los Angeles, who were connected through patriarch Jay Pritchett (O’Neill) and his two children, Claire (Bowen) and Mitchell (Ferguson).
The cast was seen together at the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in February.
Sofia was with O’Neill as well as Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson onstage.
At one point Vergara plugged her Netflix series Griselda, but got scolded as Stonestreet quipped, ‘Jesse, pay up. I told you she’d mention it in the first 10 seconds.’
It all started while they were presenting the award, which their ABC show won four previous times, and Burrell reflected on their series, saying, ‘This really brings back memories.’
‘You guys ever miss it?’ Burrell asked his former costars.

His on-screen daughter Bowen replied: ‘Oh, hell yeah, but of course we had a great time, 11 seasons, 250 episodes. Come on.’
She then got distracted by Gosling, as she giggled and pointed at him in the crowd: ‘It’s Ryan Gosling. I’m sorry,’ before catching her train of thought, ‘250 episodes, it never happens.’
‘It’s happened twice to me,’ replied O’Neill, who starred as Al Bundy on the 1987-97 Fox comedy Married…With Children.
The cast of Modern Family reunited at the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on; (L-R) Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Ed O’Neill, Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson
‘Is it too early to talk about a reboot?’ Ferguson asked, before adding, ‘They made me park a mile away from here.’

Bowen then brought up Ferguson’s Broadway career, reminding him he always said he wanted to return to his roots.
‘That’s just something actors without hit shows say, OK? There’s a reason Tony Award is the last letter of EGOT.’

While the crowd laughed, he continued, taking a swipe at the Gilded Age series, ‘I know! I know! I’m just kidding, cast of Gilded Age. I’m just kidding.’
In 2022, Ferguson confirmed a script was written for a planned spin-off but ABC ultimately scrapped the show.
‘The script’s out there and it’s very good,’ he told Entertainment Tonight. ‘So, you know, who knows? If someone wants to produce it, maybe.’
The Modern Family cast, including Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, Eric and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, and co-creators Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd also reunited for a dinner party in November.
