Sofia Vergara is hinting about a possible sequel to Modern Family. The actress portrayed the iconic character of Gloria Delgado in the popular sitcom that ran for 11 seasons. While fans of the show are waiting to see the entire cast back on their screens, Vergara has a special request for her co-star Ed O’Neill.
In her new interview with Variety, the actress revealed that a sequel to the original might take some time. Meanwhile, the Hot Pursuit star has taken back her seat on the judges panel of America’s Got Talent alongside Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and more.
Talking about her Modern Family co-star, Vergara told the media portal, “I always joke with him.” She further added, “Ed, don’t die. Because if we do a sequel, it will take a while, and you’re the eldest of us. You can’t die!”
The Grisadella actress was on the show continuously for 12 years and played the wife of O’Neill’s Jay Pritchett. The actress was even nominated for an Emmy Award in one year of the ongoing series; however, Vergara did not win but became popular.
