Between 1999 and 2001, O'Brien was working on a third attempted sequel project with the working title "Rocky Horror: The Second Coming", first to be made as a stage production, with an option to create a film if met with success. This script would largely integrate plot elements from "Rocky Horror Shows His Heels", but with all-new songs. O'Brien completed a first draft of this script (which was read by Terry Jones) but had difficulties finalising anything beyond the first act, and little more has been heard of this project since the mid-2000s.
