Ty Burrell is plotting his return to ABC. The “Modern Family” actor is set to star in and executive produce the 20th Television multicamera comedy “Forgive and Forget.” The series from writers and executive producers Eugene Garcia-Cross and Robin Shorr snagged a pilot order, the network announced Thursday.

The series centers around perennial life of the party Hank (Burrell). “After an unexpected diagnosis, Hank reconnects with his responsible adult son Ben in hopes of making new memories together,” according to a logline provided by ABC.

Burrell is best known for his role as Phil Dunphy on ABC’s hit comedy “Modern Family,” which earned him eight consecutive Emmy Award nominations and two wins.
