HOORAY two of our favourite shows in the world set to cross paths in what looks set to be a beautiful moment of TV history.

HBO have just confirmed that next year, Natasha Lyonne – also known as Nicky in Orange is the New Black - is set to star in Season 4 of Girls. And although there's no word on what the former American Pie actress's character will be like, HBO have said that she'll be called Rickey.

The bigger TV nerds of you out there might remember that this isn't the first time the two very excellent shows have crossed paths. Last season on Girls, Danielle Brooks (better known to Orange Is The New Black fans as Taystee) popped up as Jessa’s lesbian rehab hook-up.

Lena Dunham’s previously admitted to being a huge fan of the show calling it a, 'very sexy, cool, smart show that’s great for women.' Natasha's set to join a whole bunch of other notable actors who've lined up guest roles for themselves in the next season including Zachary Quinto, Community's Gillian Jacobs and Desiree Akhavan.

While this is all very exciting, we wouldn't mind seeing things work the other way round too. We're thinking Jessa would do pretty well as Red's protege, Shoshanna and Soso would probs have a lot in common, Marnie would do well as Fig's equally evil assistant and Hannah would probably find herself confined to SHU for the rest of all time ever.
