‘Galavant’ finale spoilers: Another ‘Downton Abbey’ star and more

Next week, the end is already here for “Galavant,” and that should be very depressing news for all, indeed. This show has had the terrible challenge of airing opposite such things as the AFC Championship Game and the Golden Globes, but it remains tremendously entertaining. As a matter of fact, it may be our favorite comedy of the season.

While it may be very sad that the show is coming to a close so quickly, we can at least provide you with some of the first details for the final episodes, which have such guest stars as Rutger Hauer (“True Blood”) and Sophie McShera (“Downton Abbey”). For a new show, this series has totally killed it in the casting department. Take a look at the titles, and the official synopses, below.

“Death After Brunch” (episode 7) – “Thinking about being in a relationship, Isabella wants Galavant to try to impress her parents with attentive small talk, but he’s confident that breaking everyone out of prison will impress them and save them from certain death. Galavant gets his opportunity for a hero moment when King Richard challenges his brother to a duel and needs a champion to fight for him.”

“It’s All In the Executions” (finale) – “Galavant enlists King Richard in a plot to kill Kingsley before the duel… but ends with a drunken whimper. Will Gareth kill King Richard in the duel? Will Galavant rescue everyone? Will Madalena find a new “boy toy?” The answers are very different from what you expect.”

Basically, all of this sounds hilarious, and we’re very much interested in seeing how all of this unfolds. Will the show give us a cliffhanger, or something else entirely, in its finale? Time will certainly tell.
