The hit television series Modern Family on ABC will be kicking off their season premier by filming the first episode of the season in Jackson Hole. The show is now in it's third season and the episode will air September 21st.

Approximately 100 cast and crew members were in Jackson this past week to film the season premier. Cast and crew were shooting the episode at the Lost Creek Ranch in Moose, WY. According to the Jackson Hole News & Guide Co-producer Sally Young says the episode will be hilarious. The network wanted to take the LA based television family on a dude ranch vacation.

Jackson Hole and state officials were able to convince the show to film in Jackson thanks to the help of Sally Young's sister Suzanne who is an area booster. The community of Jackson Hole provided around $70,000 from lodging tax funds which helped pay production costs.

According to ABC, Modern Family's season premier episode will air on September 21st. For more on the story visit the Jackson Hole News & Guide.
