LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

New details have emerged about pop singer Britney Spears’ latest acting venture.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Britney has taken on a cameo role in CBS’ primetime sitcom, “How I Met Your Mother.”

A rep for the show now confirms to Access that the episode in which the “Baby One More Time” singer appears is scheduled to air on March 24.

Britney will play a receptionist in a doctor’s office that Josh Radnor’s character, Ted Mosby, goes to see.

It is not known when Britney will tape the episode.

Details have also emerged about the casting of Britney in the show, which stars Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan. According to a source close to the program, Britney is a fan of the sitcom and approached the show about doing something.

This is not Britney’s first foray into acting. She previously appeared on an episode of NBC’s "Will & Grace.” She also starred in the 2002 big screen feature, “Crossroads.”
