In what seems to be the new fad, ABC is in the early stages of developing a Modern Family spinoff. The main character in consideration for the spinoff may surprise you!
ABC and 20th Century Fox TV have been discussing a spinoff for Modern Family. However, the talks are in the very early stages and not one idea has been pinned down yet as the focus.
According to Deadline, one idea being introduced by Modern Family executive producers Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh is for the spinoff to be centered on Rob Riggle’s character.
Riggle was introduced in season 4 as Gil Thorpe – Southern California’s number one real estate agent who wasn’t afraid to play dirty with the competition. Including trying to use Phil’s wife Claire against him by offering her a job. His character is known for rubbing other the wrong way and coming up with catchy ways to use his name. Remember Gil Pickles?
Corrigan and Walsh wrote one of the episodes that Riggle appeared in last season and are expected to write the script for the spinoff should it come to life. It’s also expected that Co-creator Steve Levitan would have involvement in the spinoff. While co-creator Christopher Lloyd would continue to focus on Modern Family.
Would you like to see a ‘Modern Family’ spinoff involving Riggle?
