All 11 seasons of the comedy Modern Family are coming to Disney-owned and NBC’s beginning February 3, according to a statement. You can start watching the show about the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan in Los Angeles immediately.
“Peacock is home to a massive catalog of iconic movies and shows, so a groundbreaking comedy like Modern Family is a perfect addition and representative of the quality entertainment our free and premium customers enjoy on the service,” said Val Boreland, executive vice president of content acquisitions for NBCUniversal Entertainment, Television, and Streaming. “Because viewers of all ages love Modern Family, we are creating a fan experience on Peacock that goes beyond just episodes of the series to include curated collections, bonus content, and more.”
It’s hard to read that and not think immediately of how Peacock has given The Office the royal treatment by offering –re-cut and re-edited episodes of the beloved series that add a wealth of bonus materials, deleted scenes, and even completely new plotlines that never made it to air. Boreland recently told that “the bar has been set by The Office,” in rolling out classic series on these streaming services, but it’s unclear if Modern Family will be supplemented in a similar fashion.
Modern Family ran from 2009 through to 2020, and according to there is tentative talk about exploring a spin-off. Not quite something to pin our hopes on just yet, but Modern Family co-creator/executive producer Christopher Lloyd (not that Christopher Lloyd) said last year, “I don’t want to say it’s a long shot, it’s under discussion but we’ll see.” So he’s saying there’s a chance?
