Exciting news for sisters Joey and Hunter King: they’re going to be working together on a TV show. TVLine announced that Joey will be joining the cast of big sis Hunter’s series, Life in Pieces in a reoccurring guest role. Joey will play a girl named Morgan who is pregnant, but is placing her baby up for adoption to a beloved couple on the show. It’s unclear if Joey and Hunter’s characters will interact, but we’re hoping they totally do. The girls obviously look so much alike, you know, since they’re actually related, so it’ll be super interesting to see how they are on-screen together playing characters that don’t even know each other!

Joey isn’t the first actor to join a family member’s TV series. Tons of your fave stars have slipped their real-life siblings and parents onto their shows without fans even realizing. Keeping it all in the family, pretty nice if we say so ourselves.

Check out the gallery below to see which actors have had their actual family members appear on their shows!
