 Casting has been finalized for Fox’s upcoming televised production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Adam Lambert, Victoria Justice, Reeve Carney and Ryan McCarten will join the previously-announced Laverne Cox and newcomer Staz Nair in the updated cult musical, set to air this fall.

Originally in contention for the role of Frank-N-Furter, Lambert will play Eddie, “the rock-n-roll loving, ex-delivery boy, who emerges at Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s on a motorcycle and crashes the party.”

“I grew up watching Rocky Horror, but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision,” Lambert said in a statement. “Rocky Horror always made me feel like it was okay to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!”


Victoria Justice will take on the role of Janet Weiss (iconically originated by Susan Sarandon in the 1975 original film) with Penny Dreadful’s Reeve Carney as Riff Raff and Royal Pains star Ryan McCartan as Brad Majors.

Staz Nair, who is set to appear on the upcoming sixth season of Game of Thrones, rounds out the cast playing the titular role of Rocky Horror.
