'Riverdale': Mark Consuelos' lookalike son Michael to play young Hiram Lodge in season 3

Joining Michael in the much-talked-about flashback episode titled 'The Midnight Club' would be seasoned faces like KJ Apa as a young Fred and Lili Reinhart as young Alice

When 'Riverdale' returns with its much-awaited third season, fans can expect a couple of familiar Lodges!

In a recent update, it has been confirmed that the third season of the hit Netflix drama, loosely based on the long-running Archie comics series, will be moving forward with a flashback episode. It was also revealed that the role of young Hiram Lodge — Veronica's cunning and scheming father, played by Mark Consuelos — will be played by Michael, Mark Consuelos' lookalike son. 

The confirmation comes on the heels of CW's July Comic Con panel where it was revealed that, in season 3, the series would shine the spotlight on the bunch of Riverdale parents in their high-school days. While the rest of the cast are supposed to be filing in the shoes of their on-screen parents, Michael, the 21-year-old son of actor Mark and TV show host Kelly Ripa, would be taking over the mantle as a young Hiram Lodge.
