PASADENA, California -- The cast of Netflix's Black Mirror is finally taking shape.

More than four months after first announcing they'd be taking on 12 episodes of the British anthology, the streaming network has officially cast Concussion star and Doctor Who alum Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Halt and Catch Fire lead Mackenzie Davis in one of the episodes of the upcoming season.

Owen Harris (Kill Your Friends) is set to direct the installment.

Created and written by Charlie Brooker, Netflix first announced it'd be taking the reins on new episodes of the dark drama back in September, a move that made a lot of sense considering the show had something of a second life here in the states thanks to the streaming service.

The first two seasons and a Christmas special originally aired on Channel 4 in the UK.

No details have been announced on either actress' role in the new episode and Netflix has not yet set a premiere date.
