The pair join Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black� star Laverne Cox, who was previously cast as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Both Justice and Cox shared their excitement on Twitter with their fans:

Also announced today was the casting of Reeve Carney -- originator of the Peter Parker/Spider-Man role in the Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark� -- as Riff Raff, a loyal servant of the doctor. And Staz Nair has been cast as Rocky Horror, Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s prized creation.

The revival is executive produced by Lou Adler, executive producer of the 1975 film version of “Rocky Horror�; Gail Berman (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,� “Alphas�); and Kenny Ortega (“High School Musical,� “Newsies�). Ortega will also direct and choreograph.

The two-hour event is set to air on Fox in Fall 2016.
