Modern Family will return for an eleventh and final season later this year.

The long-running sitcom has been renewed for its final outing, with ABC network president Karey Burke announcing the news at the Television Critics Association press tour.

"So proud to announce Modern Family is returning for its 11th and final season," Burke told the audience.

In a statement, Burke then praised show creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd saying, "Chris and Steve have created one of the most seminal and iconic comedies in television history.

"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."

The show has followed the Pritchett/Dunphy/Tucker family through the highs and lows of family life over the course of its run, earning 22 Emmys along the way, including five wins in the Outstanding Comedy Series category.

"For 10 years, our characters have bravely faced turning points in life and moved through them to great personal enrichment; we have chosen a different path by doing one more season of Modern Family," Lloyd said in a statement.
