Steven Levitan believes Modern Family is a completed work
In an interview with /Film (https://www.slashfilm.com/1015215/hulus-reboot-creator-steven-levitan-talks-being-free-of-network-censors-avoiding-schmaltz-and-more-exclusive-interview/), Steven Levitan revealed that, at least for the time being, he doesn't see himself reviving "Modern Family." Though he loved his time working with the cast and crew, in his opinion, it ends how it should. "I look at it as a completed work," he remarked. "It's of its time, and I'm not looking to revisit that. And if down the line, there becomes a compelling creative reason to do so, I could revisit it at that time. But ultimately, it doesn't seem like something that I would choose to jump back into." Ariel Winter, who plays Alex Dunphy, agreed in an interview with Digital Spy (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a40306000/modern-family-ariel-winter-why-show-ended/): "It was very sad to see it end, but I think it ended in a great place." She added, "We had a wonderful run and I think they tied up everyone's characters really nicely."
Levitan shared with /Film that he's been enjoying working on something new: "Reboot," a Hulu series that chronicles what happens when cast members who probably shouldn't be in the same room together convene to reboot an early 2000s sitcom. It stars Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, and other well-known faces. However, Levitan now has some time on his hands to think about what a "Modern Family" revival might look like: It was announced in January 2023 that "Reboot" won't be returning for a Season 2 — at least on Hulu, anyway. Levitan is currently attempting to find a new home for the project.
