Bonneville is set to make a stop at ABC's winter series as a character the Earl of Grantham would be loath to meet. The British actor will become a pirate king by the names of Peter the Pillager, according to TV Guide.

The BBC star isn't the only famous face set to gallop into the mid-season comedy. John Stamos of Full House fame has also snagged a role, and Uncle Jesse will saddle up as Galavant's (Joshua Sasse) rival. A handsome knight, Stamos will run into the hapless Galavant during a jousting competition, according to Cinema Blend.

Set to air during One Upon A Time's mid-season hiatus, the musical comedy will follow a disgraced knight named Galavant on his journey to reclaim his love, Madalena, from a king who has swept her away. Unlike The Princess Bride, this young woman would rather stay in a castle than return to her former beau.

Along with Sasse, Galavant will feature Timothy Omundson as the villainous King Richard, Mallory Jansen as Galavant's lost love, Karen David as Isabella, and Luke Youngblood as Sid.
