While we have no details on the upcoming final season, Deadline has reported that it may consist of 18 to 22 episodes.

They also reported that the show's adult stars, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrel, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O'Neill, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara were 100% keen for the final season, and were all aware of it coming to an end.

Since the news came out, some cast members have taken to social media.

Here are some people you get to see one more season of (if you so choose). @abcmodernfam has been picked up for an 11th and final season. I can't believe I've spent over a decade of my life working with a cast and crew I love so much. I'm already preparing myself for a VERY emotional last year with my beautiful, hilarious fake family. And thank YOU for watching. 😘😘😘

Modern Family was picked up for an 11th and final season. So happy that I get to spend one more year with this cast and crew. And grateful for the run we've had. What a journey it's been. Thanks for taking it with us.

While it's really sad news, Karey Burke has admitted that she'd be happy to launch a spin-off from the final season. However, no "concrete plans" have yet to be made.
