Downton Abbey is bracing for another American invasion.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man) is joining the PBS phenom?s Season 4 cast as Harold Levinson, the maverick, playboy brother of Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) and uncle to Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Edith (Laura Carmichael).

Cora-abbeyGiamatti, who earned an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his title role in HBO?s miniseries John Adams, is set to appear in the Season 4 finale alongside returning guest star Shirley MacLaine (as Cora and Harold?s mother, Martha).

Exec producer Gareth Neame describes Harold as ?free-spirited? and promises that both Giamatti and MacLaine will ?upset the Grantham?s apple cart? in the finale.

Giamatti joins fellow Season 4 newbies Dame Harriet Walters (as an old friend of Maggie Smith?s Dowager), Nigle Harman (as a visiting valet named Green), and Tom Cullen (as a new love interest for Mary).

Abbey?s fourth season will premiere stateside on PBS on Jan. 5, 2014.
