Steven Levitan, creator of “Reboot” and co-creator of “Modern Family,” has joined TheGrill 2022 for a Spotlight Conversation with TheWrap editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman to discuss using comedy and satire to influence pop culture and what it takes to make a hit sitcom in 2022.
When “Modern Family” premiered on ABC in 2009, not only did it revive the popularity of network sitcoms, but it also shifted audiences’ perspectives about LGBTQ relationships and mixed-race marriages. Two years after the series ended, Levitan has made the move to streaming, premiering his latest sitcom “Reboot” on Hulu last month. The series explores complicated relationships with friends, family and co-workers while poking fun at the industry. Hear it first-hand from Steve, on stage, on Wednesday, October 12!
