Modern Family season 5 will be returning to the small screen when it premieres tonight on ABC at 9 p.m. ET.
The show recently received its fourth consecutive Emmy award for outstanding comedy series this weekend, beating "The Big Bang Theory," "Girls," "Louie," "30 Rock," and "Veep."
The series premiere will be one-hour long, running to back-to-back episodes. The first episode is called "Suddenly, Last Summer" and the synopsis is as follows: "Phil and Claire are trying to orchestrate a kid-free week by coordinating Luke's camp with Haley's beach trip and Alex's volunteering excursion; Jay and Gloria are getting Manny ready for his first solo trip back to Colombia; and Mitch and Cam make it a summer to remember."
The second episode is called "First Days" with the following synopsis: "Luke and Manny have their first day at high school, which proves to be harder for Phil and Gloria than for the boys. Elsewhere, Claire makes her big return to the workforce at Jay's closet company and is a little rusty on her first day, and Cam starts a new substituting gig at the high school, leaving Mitch to try to juggle Lily's first day in 1st grade and a very important meeting at work."
Since the show's premiere in 2009, ratings have been high, becoming one of the highest-rated new shows in America.
The show stars Ed O'Neill (Jay), Sofia Vergara (Gloria), Rico Rodriguez (Manny), Julie Bowen (Claire), Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy), and more.
