“Reboot” creator and “Modern Family” co-creator Steven Levitan has joined Grill Head to a Spotlight conversation with TheWrap editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman to discuss the use of comedy and satire to influence pop culture in 2022 and what it takes to make a hit sitcom in 2022.
When “Modern Family” premiered on ABC in 2009, it not only revived the popularity of the network sitcom, but it also changed viewers’ 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 complex relationships with friends, family, and co-workers while making fun of the industry. Hear it onstage for the first time from Steve on Wednesday, October 12!
