There’s nothing quite like a family affair, and the hit CW series Riverdale is about to get a whole lot more interesting. Kelly Ripa announced that she’s joining her husband, Mark Consuelos, on the show, playing the role of his character’s mistress.

At 48 years old, Kelly Ripa is no stranger to the spotlight, and now she’s stepping into a new role that promises to captivate audiences.

In the image, she’s sitting in a luxurious leather armchair, dressed in a sleek black dress, holding a whip, and exuding mystery under dim lighting.

Coming soon to @thecwriverdale.” Take a look at the teaser below!

Who Is Kelly Ripa’s Character, and What Role Does She Play in Riverdale?
According to Entertainment Tonight, Kelly will portray Mrs. Mulwray, a character described as confident, tough, and irresistible. She’s a femme fatale who finds herself entangled in a conspiracy far greater than she could have imagined. Fans can expect her to bring a level of sophistication and intrigue to the show, adding depth to the already dramatic storyline.
But that’s not all! The Consuelos-Ripa family is practically taking over Riverdale. Earlier this year, their eldest son, Michael Consuelos, joined the cast for Season 3, playing the younger version of his father’s character, Hiram Lodge. At just 21 years old, Michael made his mark alongside Riverdale stars KJ Apa and Lili Reinhart, proving that talent runs in the family.

Kelly took to Instagram to congratulate her son, jokingly reminding him that as his fiduciaries, they were entitled to a cut of his earnings. “Congrats Michael on being cast as young Hiram Lodge on @thecwriverdale,” she wrote. “However, @instasuelos and I would like to take this opportunity to remind you and your siblings, that as your fiduciaries, we are hereby entitled to 10% of all future earnings hereto wit, or something like that.”
Mark also expressed his pride, captioning a photo of him and Michael with, “Bucket list moment for Mom and Dad. Congrats to my son Michael on being cast as the younger (and much better and handsomer) Hiram. We are so proud. Love you MJC #riverdale #bucketlist.”
