Former cast members -- including Rob Lowe -- and frequent guest stars are flocking back to NBC's The West Wing as the political drama nears its finish, reports Variety.
Lowe is set to star in two of the last episodes, while others, including Mary-Louise Parker, Gary Cole, Tim Matheson and Annabeth Gish, will appear in one or more of the final five episodes.
Lowe last played Sam Seaborn in the show's fourth season. Parker will revive her character Amy Gardner, the first lady's chief of staff, last seen in the 2003-04 season.
Also back are Cole as VP Bob Russell and Matheson as Former Vice President John Hoynes. Gish will reprise her role as President Bartlet's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, while Marlee Matlin is back as political consultant Joey Lucas.
Also, CSI: Miami star Emily Procter will revive her role as associate White House counsel Ainsley Hayes, not seen since season three, and Anna Deavere Smith will return as National Security Adviser Nancy McNally.
Timothy Busfield will return as White House press corps member Danny Concanon.
