Sarah Hyland is joining a different kind of TV family.
The Modern Family star has signed on to play Lisa Houseman in ABC's highly buzzed-about TV movie remake of Dirty Dancing, ET confirms.
The 25-year-old actress joins previously announced Scream Queens star Abigail Breslin, who will be playing Hyland's on-screen little sister, Baby, and Debra Messing as Marjorie, the matriarch of the Houseman family.
Fingers crossed Hyland will gift fans with her own tone-deaf rendition of "Hula Hana" like the original Lisa -- played by Jane Bruckner -- did in the hit flick.
