Another day, another New Girl guest star!

Olivia Munn, who most recently did a lot of scene-stealing on Aaron Sorkin's HBO drama The Newsroom, is set to guest star on an upcoming episode of the Fox hit comedy, reps for the actress and network confirmed to E! News.

And like so many guest stars before her (Lake Bell, Lizzy Caplan and Katrina Bowden), the Magic Mike star will be romancing one of Zooey Deschanel's onscreen roomies...

Munn is set to play the sexy, earthy and charming Angie, Nick's (Jake Johnson) new love interest, who can hold her own with the quippy group.

Fret not, Newsroom fans, as Munn's multi-episode arc on New Girl will be filmed in about two weeks, before production starts on season two of the HBO drama. Her New Girl episodes are slated to run in November.

"Welcome to the show," Johnson tweeted Munn after the news broke.
