The Middle May Score a Spin-Off Starring Sue Heck

Last week we said goodbye to one of our favorite TV families, the Hecks. We had no idea what we would do without them, but now we may not have to find out. Who could be more appropriate to carry on the legacy of The Middle than the middle Heck child? Series standout Eden Sher as Sue Heck is reportedly in talks for a spinoff at ABC.

Deadline is reporting that The Middle creators Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline are in talks with ABC and Warner Bros.

Atticus Shaffer Talks Growing Up on The Middle

Over the impressive seven season run of ABC’s The Middle, Brick has been the oft forgotten third child of Frankie (Patricia Heaton) and Mike Heck (Neil Flynn). His family has literally forgotten him at work and school, but actor Atticus Shaffer has become a fan favorite. A child actor no more (he just turned 18), Atticus has played Brick Heck since he was eight years old.

Socially awkward, book smart Brick is a sage and precocious observer who often teaches adults a life lesson or two.
