After a little behind-the-scenes drama, “Modern Family” has been renewed for two more seasons by ABC.
The long-running 20th Century Fox Television comedy’s season-eight finale is scheduled to air May 17. The renewal signals a conclusion to lengthy negotiations with the show’s adult cast members, whose contracts expire at the end of the current season.
Sources tell Variety that most of the show’s core cast members — Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, and Ty Burrell — will see their paychecks rise to nearly $500,000 per episode for the next two seasons, up from about $350,000 under their previous contracts.

O’Neill also has a bigger profit participation stake than his co-stars given his higher profile at the time the series bowed in 2009.
The other five actors earned small profit-participation stakes in the show during the previous contract...
