The Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan are ready to say goodbye but not before giving fans one final night of belly laughs as one of television’s great family comedies. Currently in its 11th and final season, ABC announced today that the Emmy(R) Award-winning series “Modern Family” will air its series farewell episode on Wednesday, April 8, on ABC.

In addition, ABC is giving fans the power to program an entire night filled with their favorite “Modern Family” episodes that will air Wednesday, March 11 (8:00-11:00PM EDT). The night will kick off with the episode that started it all – the “Modern Family” series premiere – followed by five additional fan-chosen episodes, giving viewers a chance to gather their families for the ultimate “Modern Family” binge and relive some of the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan’s most hilarious, jaw-dropping and monumental moments.

Voting for your favorite “Modern Family” episodes will begin Monday, February 3, via a daily Twitter poll from the show’s Twitter handle and concludes Friday, February 7.

Critically lauded for revitalizing the television sitcom when it premiered in fall 2009, “Modern Family” also quickly cemented itself as a culturally defining series. The show featured characters who lived their lives on their own terms, broke down stereotypes and shared their biggest embarrassments, mishaps, tender and funny moments with the world. The recipient of a record five consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, “Modern Family” tied the Emmy Award record previously set by “Frasier.” As the series counts down to the finale, this wonderfully large and blended family will continue to delight audiences with its honest and often hilarious look into the warm and sometimes twisted embrace of the modern family.

ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder” Set to Air Killer Series Finale, Thursday, May 14

The Award-Winning Series to Return for Remaining Six-Episode Farewell Event on Thursday, April 2

ABC today announced the explosive series finale of “How to Get Away with Murder” will air Thursday, May 14 (10:01-11:00PM EDT). The critically acclaimed series, which will return for its six-episode killer farewell event on Thursday, April 2, is currently in its sixth and final season.

In July, it was announced that season six of “How to Get Away with Murder” would be its last. This season follows Professor Annalise Keating’s (Viola Davis) class through their final semester in law school – while the deception, fear and guilt-binding Professor Keating to her students proved deadlier than ever. The fall finale ended on a cliffhanger as Wes Gibbons (Alfred Enoch), who was previously presumed dead, was seen in a flash-forward at Annalise’s funeral, fueling further speculation of “Who Killed Annalise?” The back-half of the season will pick up where the fall finale left off in the present-day storyline as Michaela Pratt (Aja Naomi King) and Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee) are arrested for the murder of Asher Millstone (Matt McGorry). Meanwhile, Annalise was last seen fleeing Philadelphia after the news broke that she is under criminal investigation.

During the series run, Viola Davis earned the 2015 Primetime Emmy(R) for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, which cemented her name in history as the first woman of color to win an Emmy Award in the category. In addition, Davis has been honored with two SAG Awards, a People’s Choice Award and an NAACP Image Award for her portrayal of Annalise Keating.

“How to Get Away with Murder” has been praised for its on-screen inclusivity, with storylines exploring racial dynamics, LGBTQ representation, gender inequality, and sex positivity. Over the course of the first five seasons, the series has been awarded numerous accolades including an American Film Institute Award for Television Program of the Year, a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Drama Series and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Drama Series.

“How to Get Away with Murder” stars Academy Award(R) winner Viola Davis as Professor Annalise Keating, Billy Brown as Detective Nate Lahey, Jack Falahee as Connor Walsh, Aja Naomi King as Michaela Pratt, Matt McGorry as Asher Millstone, Charlie Weber as Frank Delfino, Liza Weil as Bonnie Winterbottom, Conrad Ricamora as Oliver Hampton, Rome Flynn as Gabriel Maddox and Amirah Vann as Tegan Price.
