Accio, Remote Control! Daniel Radcliffe Is Joining the Cast of 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'

Hold onto your sorting hats, because we have major *muggle* news. Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe is joining Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

The Miracle Workers star will join the series's interactive special alongside The Office's Ellie Kemper as Kimmy Schmidt, aka the most Hufflepuff human of all.

While much about the special is being kept under an invisibility cloak, we do know that this will be Kimmy's "biggest adventure yet" that takes place in over "three states." Explosions, a dancing hamburger, and even a wedding for Kimmy—possibly to Radcliffe's not-yet-revealed character—are all going down in the new special, according to Deadline. Sounds ~magical~.

The special is being billed as a "Choose Your Own Adventure" interactive show, similar to Black Mirror's Bandersnatch. Viewers will be able to use their remote to make choices that affect Kimmy's fate, with alternate endings as the result of different chosen paths.

Radcliffe and Kemper will also be joined by returning cast members Jon Hamm as Kimmy's kidnapper, Rev. Dr. Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, plus Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski and Carol Kane. The special is set to hit the streaming service sometime in 2020.

Tina Fey and Robert Carlock helmed the four-season series that ended this January, and will return to direct the special. Fey said the segment “will be a great way to officially complete the series," according to the company's press release.

Now, where's that Time Turner when you really need it?
