Jen Affleck Joins ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County' Cast

"Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Jen Affleck is officially heading to Orange County with reality TV cameras in tow.

Affleck, 26, took to Instagram to tease that she is joining the Hulu show's coming spinoff series, "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County."

The clip begins with Affleck flicking her hair and stepping toward the camera as her name flashes across the screen. She then blows the camera a kiss before the video transitions to other "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" stars.

The video also features Salomé Andrea, Avery Woods, Aspyn Ovard, Madison Fisher, Ashleigh Pease, McCall DaPron and Bobbi Althoff. It ends with the hashtag #OCmoms as the group poses together.

The "Dancing with the Stars" alum captioned the clip, "Coming to @hulu 2026!! @secretlivesonhulu."

In the comment section, Woods expressed her excitement with a string of heart emojis, writing, "🤍🤍🤍!!!!" and costar Mikayla Matthews added a fire emoji.

The announcement comes less than a week after Hulu announced "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" at their second Get Real House event on April 22.

The upcoming spinoff series will follow "a new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity," according to an official synopsis.

"While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo," the description continues. "Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”

In an interview published on April 22, Rob Mills, the executive vice president of unscripted for Walt Disney TV, told Variety that "there's definitely room for not just Jen, but many members of the Utah ‘Mormon Wives.'"

"That's all being discussed. We're really just starting the show, but as you see, Mayci's sister is on there!" he said, referring to DaPron. "I think in a perfect world, it's something where there's room for everybody to kind of pop in and out."
