'The Middle' star Eden Sher confirms ABC is working on a pilot for spinoff based around her character Sue Heck

In an interview with Michael Ausiello, Sher also says that it's unlikely the show will premiere this coming season and that it could air mid-season at the earliest.
UPDATED JUL 23, 2018

It was previously reported that Eden Sher might be making her return to ABC as Sue Heck in her own spinoff of 'The Middle.' Having run for nine seasons and 215 episodes, the popular sitcom aired its final episode this past May, and rumors of Sher featuring in her own show have been making the rounds since.

The 26-year-old actress all but confirmed the news in a recent interview with TVLine's Michael Ausiello, revealing that the network had ordered a pilot for the potential series that could launch sometime in early 2019, though officials at ABC have declined to comment on the news.
