Orange Is the New Black [1] star Laverne Cox is trading her prison beauty parlor for a big, creepy castle! The Emmy nominee has scored the part of Dr. Frank-N-Furter [2] in Fox's remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In case you're not versed on the cult classic, that's the role Tim Curry made famous in the 1975 classic. The made-for-TV reboot hadn't yet been confirmed, but with Cox on board, Fox has greenlit it for a Fall 2016 premiere. Stay tuned for more casting news! Until then, find out how to dress like your favorite Rocky Horror character this Halloween [3] and watch the original cast reunite for the 40th anniversary [4].
