Nodding our heads like "yeah".

Talk about the best of both worlds. One of our favourite Disney stars-turned-international pop stars is going to be in (one of) our favourite dark sci-fi anthology series.

No, it's not Demi Lovato starring in The Twilight Zone (though we'd love to see that).

Miley Cyrus just confirmed that she'll be in the next season of Netflix's dystopian hit series Black Mirror.

The "Wrecking Ball" singer confirmed the casting on The Howard Stern Show.

"If you guess it, then I will shake my head yes, or no," Cyrus told Stern when he asked her about whether or not she would be starring in an episode of the fifth season of Black Mirror.

Stern then informed the listeners that Cyrus had nodded her head, indicating "yes." That's as close as we're going to get to getting confirmation from the horse's mouth at this point. Mashable reached out to Netflix for comment but did not receive an immediate response.

No release date has been set for the fifth season of Black Mirror, but in a tweet from an Official Netflix Twitter account (screen grabbed here by Mirror) that was later deleted, Netflix had set Black Mirror Season 5 to premiere on December 28th 2018 with an episode entitled "Bandersnatch." Netflix has not commented on the accidental leak, but dare we hope for a surprise release during the holidays?

What better way to brighten the festive season than with a show that makes you hate the world you live in?
