LOS ANGELES - After what amounted to a routine holdout by the six adult stars of television's top comedy, “Modern Family,†deals were concluded Friday night that will have the show's premiere episode begin production Monday, as scheduled.
The president of ABC Entertainment, Paul Lee, said here Friday night that all cast members had agreed to new deals. They will receive significant, though undisclosed, salary raises.
Steve Levitan, the show's co-creator said, “I really was never worried about this at all.†He described the contract demands by the actors as completely expected and what always happens when shows emerge as big hits.
“We want everyone on the show to share in its success … within reason,†Mr. Levitan said.
