Willow will play a young version of the show's star, True, who is played by Keke Palmer.

Willow Smith is fantastic playing the young True and was able to channel Keke's energy yet put her own signature on it," Nickelodeon's Executive Vice President of Development and Original programming, Majorie Cohn, said in a statement.

The hit comedy series centers on a high school student who lives a dual life as the vice president of a major fashion company.

"I get my styles ideas from 'True Jackson, VP,'" Willow said in a statement. "If I had my own fashion company, I would call it 'Willow's Reign.'"

Although this will mark Willow's first appearance on television, this is not her first Hollywood experience.
