“Modern Family” will continue for at least two more seasons – bringing it to 2019, when the comedy will mark its tenth season on the air.
After an intense negotiation between the ABC, 20th Century Fox TV, and the show’s producers and cast, a deal was done with a week to spare. (ABC is set to announce its fall 2017 schedule next Tuesday.) The show’s full cast is expected to return.
“We are beyond thrilled that we get to spend more time with these characters, these amazing actors, our ridiculously-talented writers and our incredible crew – all of whom are like family to us,” said co-creator Steve Levitan. “And the good kind of family, not the kind that argues with you all the time.”

However, at a recent Reed College screening that point was lost on a group of transgender students who showed up to protest it. Visiting filmmaker Kimberly Peirce was greeted with signs declaring “Fuck Your Transphobia,” “You Don’t Fucking Get It,” and “Fuck This Cis White Bitch.” Their beef wasn’t new: The movie portrays the plight of a transgender man, but it doesn’t feature a transgender performer.
While this may be a misguided attack on a respected queer filmmaker and vital piece of independent film history, it would be irresponsible to dismiss the complaints outright.
Over the 15 years since the film’s release, Peirce has faced criticism for casting cisgender actress Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena, a transgender male. She’s also been criticized for directing the film as a cisgender lesbian,...
