Cox will feature alongside SNP MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross Maree Todd, Scottish Conservatives MSP for Lothian Sue Webber, Labour MSP for Glasgow Pam Duncan-Glancy, and Glasgow University professor of public policy and governance Nicola McEwen.
Debate Night will air on BBC Scotland at 9pm, and on BBC One Scotland at 10:40pm.
The actor has previously been outspoken about his support for Scottish independence, saying ahead of Nicola Sturgeon's 2023 departure from Bute House: 'We mustn't give up the pursuit of independence. We can't separate ourselves off, we are part of these British Isles, but we should no longer be a United Kingdom.'

The Succession star trained at Dundee Rep Theatre and first gained recognition for his portrayal of Shakespear's King Lear.
He is set to return to the stage for the first time in a decade later this year, where he'll star as the ghost of Scots philosopher Adam Smith in a satirical play about the 2008 financial crash at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Cox has won several accolades throughout his career, including an Olivier, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe.
