In the new season of Lethal Weapon, JoJo, né Joanna Levesque, will guest star as a famous crooner named Shaye who is nearly killed when a mysterious figure from her past drives her car off the road, EW has learned exclusively. Riggs (Clayne Crawford) and Murtaugh (Damon Wayons) become her bodyguards as they attempt to uncover the deadly secrets that haunt Shaye — before the baddie strikes again.

JoJo’s episode will run in the third week of the show’s second season.

Besides appearing in big screen flicks like Aquamarine and RV, JoJo has sold more than 7 million albums worldwide and was the youngest solo artist ever to have a No. 1 song on the Billboard Monitor chart. Her third and most recent album, “Mad Love,” debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Pop Chart and No. 6 on the Billboard 200.

She recently announced her new imprint, Clover Music, which is a joint venture with Interscope Records.

Lethal Weapon returns for its second season on Sept. 26 on Fox.
