Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan will star as lost lovers Janet and Brad, the roles made famous by Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick in the 1975 film. The pair of newlyweds stumble upon the creepy castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Cox) and set into motion an evening of floor shows, Transylvanian dance routines, and no lack of touch-a touch-a touching. The trio will be joined by _Penny Dreadful_ star Reeve Carney (the original Spider-Man in Broadway’s _Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark_) as Riff Raff, who [sings the musical’s beloved “Time Warp.”](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/14/rocky-horror-time-warp-bbc-america "undefined") Model Staz Nair will be objectified as Frank-N-Furter’s personal beefcake, Rocky. The two-hour TV event will air in the fall of 2016 on Fox, with filming set to begin this winter. Justice, a former Nickelodeon and MTV star, has been featured on the soundtrack albums of her Nickelodeon series _Victorious_ and is reportedly still at work on her debut album. McCartan, best known from his work on Disney Channel’s _Liv and Maddie_, recently starred as anarchist J.D. in the Off Broadway musical adaptation of _Heathers_. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/04/rocky-horror-victoria-justice-ryan-mccartan "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4167129/rocky-horror-remake-cast/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4167129/rocky-horror-remake-cast/"},"headline":"Rocky Horror Picture Show TV Remake Casts Four Lead Roles","datePublished":"2016-01-04T23:10:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T13:46:13.314Z","description":"Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan will star as lost lovers Janet and Brad","url":"https://time.com/4167129/rocky-horror-remake-cast/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2cf7f62933828c45/6988777a5f570fce38b1f06c/victoria-justice.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Marc Snetiker / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2cf7f62933828c45/6988777a5f570fce38b1f06c/victoria-justice.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Victoria Justice at CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute event in New York City on Nov. 17, 2015.","caption":"Victoria Justice at CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute event in New York City on Nov. 17, 2015.","creditText":"Aurora Rose—PMC/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4167129/rocky-horror-remake-cast/","name":"Rocky Horror Picture Show TV Remake Casts Four Lead Roles"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Know Right Now: Laverne Cox Will Star in Rocky Horror Reboot","description":"The original came out in 1975","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/bTShBvWF/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-10-22T08:44:56.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/bTShBvWF.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4167129/rocky-horror-remake-cast/","duration":"PT1M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4167129/rocky-horror-remake-cast/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
