MODERN FAMILY to Kill Off Significant Character in Season 10

Modern Family's co-creator Christopher Lloyd told Entertainment Weekly that a "significant" character will die in the tenth season.

Lloyd told the magazine, "We're handling some bigger life events in this season. We do deal with a death, which is certainly a topic that families have to deal with, and on television, it's not easy to do because that's a heavy subject. But at the same time, it would seem unusual for a family not to go through it."

Lloyd didn't say who'd be dying, but that the death would impact many episodes. The tenth season, which is set to premiere Sept. 26 on ABC, is the last in the show's multi-season contract, so future seasons are uncertain. Co-creator Steven Levitan has previously talked about ending the show, but Lloyd expressed a different sentiment.

"There's goodwill on both sides to make it happen, but there's also complicated matters that have to get worked through, and there's a time constraint on it, because we can't have it take too long," he said. "I'm hoping that that doesn't make the whole thing go away, but I think there's a decent chance we'll see it happen."
