Murray, who played Cassie in the first two series of the Channel 4 teen drama, is supposedly in secret talks with producers about the role, News Of The World reports.
A BBC insider said: "Hannah did some challenging stuff in Skins and they see her as an up-and-comer."
Other stars reportedly being considered for the role include Georgia Moffett, Lily Allen and Kelly Brook.
Russell T. Davies has confirmed that he does not want to "ruin anyone's chances" of being cast as the fifth series companion by using them in this year's specials.
