The Homeland star will play warrior Scorann in the channel's re-imagining of the classic tale.
He joins the previously announced Kieran Bew as Beowulf, William Hurt as Hrothgar and Joanne Whalley as Rheda.
Created by James Dormer, Tim Haines and Katie Newman, the 13-episode series is set in the mythical Shieldlands, a dangerous place populated by both humans and fantastical creatures.
Also starring in the project are Ed Speleers (Downton Abbey), David Ajala (Black Box), Ian Puleston-Davies (Coronation Street), Ellora Torchia (Indian Summers), Gisli Orn Gardarsson (Spooks), Susan Aderin (The Last Detective), Kirsty Oswald (Ripper Street), Laura Donnelly (Outlander), Edward Hogg (Indian Summers), Alex Price (Father Brown), Jack Rowan (Silent Witness) and Itoya Osagiede (Okora: The Prelude).
Filming on Beowulf began last month in North East England.
Harewood's casting arrives just a day after he signed up for BBC One's upcoming drama The Night Manager .
