22 Episodes 2015 - 2016
Season 7 of the off-the-wall mockumentary sitcom kicks off with Haley (Sarah Hyland) making a move on Dylan (Reid Ewing) after she's disappointed by Andy (Adam DeVine). There's no love in store for Alex (Ariel Winter) and Sunjay (Suraj Parthasarathy), who are determined to agree that the best life is a single life after graduation. Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara) are on the warpath to find the best preschool for Joe (Jeremy Maguire), while Mitchell (Jessie Tyler Ferguson) is less hung up on ambitions and decides that he was meant to be an artist instead of a regular slave to the 9 to 5.
