Hugh, 47 - who plays the Earl of Grantham in the ITV1 drama - appears as a pirate captain in the new run of the BBC1 hit this spring.
Hugh said: "When I was a boy, the music and Jon Pertwee's doctor had me peeking out from behind the sofa every Saturday.
"I am thrilled to be appearing in the new series.
"Although the pirate's demons are different to those of the young lad who watched through his fingers, they are no less terrifying - this new adventure is not for the faint-hearted."
The second series of Downton Abbey starts later this year.
