New Girl is getting set to party like it's 1999.

As previously announced, the Fox sitcom will welcome Prince on its special Super Bowl episode, which airs after the big game on February 2 and which will find Jess meeting the legendary artist at a part.

"She's goofy and out there, and he's this wise, quiet sort of oracle," creator Liz Meriwether teases to TV Guide Magazine, adding that Nick is a "huge" fan of the singer.

Check out the first photo of this unexpected trio now and note the color of Jess' coat: Purple. Well played, New Girl...
