A New Frank-N-Furter for a New Era

Orange Is the New Black Emmy nominee Laverne Cox – who is also in the must-see Gotham Independent Film Award-nominated Grandma starring Lily Tomlin – is set to make history once more next season.

The transgender actress (the first-ever to receive an Emmy nod) is going to star as Dr. Frank-N-Furter on Fox’s take on The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Set to air as a two-hour like, super-event-y reimagining of the Broadway show-turned-cult classic film, the televised Rocky Horror Picture Show should not interfere with Cox’s work on the upcoming CBS legal offering, Doubt.

Get it, Ms. Cox!
