Sarah Hyland is set to star in a comedy series produced by her Modern Family dad Ty Burell

Former Modern Family star Sarah Hyland will lead a new comedy series on ABC titled Yours, Mine & Paul's. The series will be produced by Hyland's fellow Modern Family alum Ty Burrell and his recently launched Desert Whale Productions.
Written and co-executive produced by writer, director and actor Julia Meltzer, Yours, Mine & Paul‘s centers on Lauren (Hyland), who agrees to be a surrogate for her best friend, Paul, and his husband, Xander. There’s just one problem: Lauren and Xander hate each other. Oh, also Paul dies in the cold open.
Hyland’s Lauren is an impulsive, faux-enlightened millennial who agrees to be the egg donor and surrogate for her best friend Paul, and his husband Xander, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that she and Xander are constantly competing for Paul’s attention. She likes the idea of being the glowing, pregnant center of attention for nine months without having to take care of a crying baby at the end of it. After Paul’s sudden death, she is confronted with the looming possibility of motherhood and co-parenting with her nemesis.
Burrell and Hyland had previously starred together on the acclaimed ABC comedy Modern Family as dad Phil Dunphy and the eldest of the Dunphy children, Haley, respectively. The series ran for 11 seasons with its last season airing earlier this year.
