Modern Family season 10 continues on ABC in 2019, with the series wrapping up all of its lingering storylines for a final sendoff for the Dunphy and Pritchett families. It's been 10 years since Modern Family first premiered, which follows the daily lives of Jay Pritchett's family and his children's family.
Created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan as a way to give the world's modern family an outlet for which they can relate to, ABC's Modern Family TV show quickly became an enormous hit with critics and audiences alike. Over the years, the series and its ensemble cast has earned numerous awards and accolades (including 22 Emmys), but it's now time to bring everything to an end.
It was announced last year that season 10 would likely be Modern Family's final season, and that seems to have become a reality. The first half of season 10 aired in fall 2018, and now the second half is almost here - but when can audiences expect to see the Modern Family season 10 midseason premiere, and what can they expect from the rest of the year?
Modern Family Season 10 Return Date & Time Slot
Modern Family season 10 returns in 2019 on Wednesday, January 9 at its regular time of 9 pm ET. The season 10 midseason premiere episode is titled "A Moving Day," which primarily centers on Phil and Claire moving Haley and Dylan into a brand-new apartment as they prepare for their baby's arrival.
Of course, given that this is Modern Family, something is bound to arise that will cause chaos amongst the Dunphy family. Modern Family should run for the rest of the season in the same timeslot with few interruptions, as they will wrap up the final season sometime in May.
What Will Modern Family Season 10's Second Half Be About?
Haley told her family that she was pregnant in the Modern Family season 10 midseason finale, and they will now be dealing with the fallout of that bombshell reveal. What's more, actress Sarah Hyland recently revealed on social media (at the request of the network) that her character is expecting twins, which will surely make things more interesting as the season (and series) starts to conclude.
Other than Haley's story, Alex and Luke's stories need to start to wrap up as well as they move on from school and into their professional lives, with Phil and Claire needing to let go of their children. Furthermore, Cameron and Mitchell need to make final decisions on if they want to stay in Los Angeles or move to Cameron's hometown. Whether everyone stays together by the time Modern Family season 10 ends remains to be seen.
Will There Be A Modern Family Season 11?
At the moment, Modern Family season 10 is the series' final season, though it's certainly possible that purchased 20th Century Fox, which means Modern Family will soon become an ABC production, whereas before it was just being distributed (read: airing) on ABC. This changes things, and it'll allow ABC/Disney to retain full ownership over the series going forward. Contracts are still being discussed, but if everything progresses smoothly behind the scenes, then it's possible Modern Family could return in the fall.
