The entire Consuelos family is heading to Riverdale.

After Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa‘s son Michael played a younger version of his father’s character in a special throwback episode, it was announced that Ripa also has an upcoming role on the hit CW show — playing her husband’s mistress!

Consuelos, who is partnering with McCafé at Home to encourage people to stick with their New Years resolutions as part of the company’s Brew Happier campaign, tells PEOPLE that he’s “excited” about his wife appearing on the show, adding that they have already filmed the episode in which Ripa appears.

“I’m really excited about that,” says Consuelos, 47. “The Consuelos family one by one is going be on Riverdale. I love it!”

Ripa, 48, announced the news in November on Instagram post. “It’s a family affair…Hiram’s mistress. 23 years of auditioning for a role I was born to play,” she captioned a photo of her on set.

Ripa and Consuelos have been married for 22 years and share three children: Michael, 21, Lola, 17, and Joaquin, 15.
