Victoria Justice, Laverne Cox, and More Set To Star In FOX TV Reboot of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’

Get your pelvic thrusts in tip-top shape and get ready to “Time Warp” again because The Rocky Horror Picture Show is coming to a small screen near you this year thanks to FOX.

It was previously announced that Orange Is The New Black actress Laverne Cox would play the beloved Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a character brought to life by Tim Curry in the 1975 cult classic, but now an array of young Hollywood talent have been added to the cast. Former Nickelodeon star and Eye Candy lead Victoria Justice takes on Susan Sarandon’s Janet Weiss and Liv & Maddie actor Ryan McCartan takes on Barry Bostwick’s Brad Majors, the newly engaged couple from the film. Reeve Carney (Penny Dreadful) and Staz Nair have signed on to play Riff Raff and Rocky Horror, respectively, to the Lou Adler, Gail Berman, and Kenny Ortega Executive-produced project.

If you’re unfamiliar with the plot of Rocky Horror Picture Show, it’s a colorful musical surrounding newly engaged couple Janet and Brad having car trouble in the middle of nowhere. They stumble upon the residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a mad scientist who is actually an alien and transvestite from the planet Transsexual, and seek help in the midst of a huge party the Dr. is throwing for the unveiling of his creation Rocky Horror. Things take an unexpected turn from there.

The two-hour event will shoot this winter and premiere on FOX Fall 2016.
