Yes, the grim reaper will visit the show in an episode airing in the first half of this season, co-creator Christopher Lloyd tells EW. "We're handling some bigger life events in this season," he says. "We do deal with a death, which is certainly a topic that families have to deal with, and on television, it's not easy to do because that's a heavy subject. But at the same time, it would seem unusual for a family not to go through it."
Not surprisingly, Lloyd isn't revealing who is headed six feet under — or if it's one of the main family members — but he promises that he/she is a "significant character on the series" and the death "will be a moving event — and an event that has repercussions across several episodes."
