Series regulars posted messages reflecting on their time being on the hit show and expressing how emotional the ending will be.
Actor Nolan Gould, who has played Luke Dunphy on the show since its premiere in 2009, posted a cast photo along with a message of appreciation to Instagram.
"Modern Family' was picked up for an 11th and final season," he wrote. "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.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell Pritchett on the show, also reacted in social posts.
"Here are some people you get to see one more season of (if you so choose)," he wrote alongside a montage of cast photos.
"I can’t believe I’ve spent over a decade of my life working with a cast and crew I love so much," he added. "I’m already preparing myself for a VERY emotional last year with my beautiful, hilarious fake family. And thank YOU for watching."

And he had some advice for his fellow actors.
"Identify and follow your dreams, have unwavering belief in yourself and your talent, surround yourself with good people, be prepared and on time for when a lot of luck and even more persistence crack open that door of opportunity and then blow through it and leave it ALL in the room knowing you did your best," he wrote.
"I’m proof it’s possible for you," he added.

"In its final season, there will be more milestone events that anyone who has been a fan of the series won't want to miss," Karey Burke, president, ABC Entertainment, said in a statement.
