According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will be produced by 20th Century Fox TV. Emily took to Twitter to shed more light on the project

Gordon is also serving as the writer for the project. Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger are on board as executive producers, alongside Adam Londy. Unlike Modern Family, the show is being developed as a multi-camera comedy. Hyland will begin production for the project when Modern Family  wraps up making the 11th and final season in early 2020. According to E! News, the series could tackle health issues. Hyland has been vocal about her health struggles in the past and Gordon penned _The Big Sick_ , which is based on her battle with a near-deadly infection and love story with actor and husband Kumail Nanjiani. Gordon has a number of projects in development currently, and is co-creator, executive producer and writer on Apple’s upcoming anthology series Little America. Meanwhile, Hyland has a romantic comedy in the pipeline - The Wedding Year, helmed by Legally Blonde director Robert Luketic.
