Jen Affleck may be trading Utah's snowy mountains for the sunny beaches of Orange County on screen.

Days after Hulu announced a spinoff of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives set in Orange County, the original MomToker appeared to confirm her involvement with a new Instagram post.

On April 26, Jen shared a video on Instagram showing her alongside potential new cast members including Bobbi Althoff, Aspyn Ovard, Madison Bontempo, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, Ashleigh Pease, and McCall DaPron. The clip, set to the Full House theme song, offered a behind-the-scenes look at the group filming together. Jen blew a kiss to the camera before joining a group photo, with the caption "#OCmoms" flashing on screen.

She captioned the video: "Coming to @hulu 2026!! @secretlivesonhulu."

Several original Mormon Wives stars cheered on Jen's news, with Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews showing their support with emojis.

E! News reached out to Hulu for confirmation but has not yet received a response.

This isn't Jen's first venture beyond her reality TV roots. The 26-year-old mother of three competed on Dancing With the Stars last season alongside costar Whitney Leavitt. The opportunity prompted her family to relocate to Los Angeles so she could focus on rehearsals.

After her elimination, Jen expressed a desire to showcase different facets of her life. "When I joined The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, I didn't know what would come from it, but I knew I wanted to share my story," she wrote on Instagram in March. "I hoped it could inspire someone or feel relatable. I wanted to be honest about what it's like being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—the beauty and the struggles."

She also hinted at wanting to steer clear of on-screen drama. "I understand drama is what people expect from reality TV, but I wish more of the other real moments were shown too—the empowerment, the birth stories, the beauty of motherhood."
