Dockery, Bonneville, and McGovern are joined by familiar faces from across the 'Downton Abbey' films and series, including Jim Carter, Brendan Coyle, Joanne Froggatt, Phyllis Logan, Penelope Wilton, Paul Giamatti, and Dominic West. ' The Grand Finale' also introduces newcomers Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola, Simon Russell Beale, and Arty Froushan.
