BBC’s Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home will explore the last chapter of the legendary rocker’s life with help from wife Sharon and the couple’s children.
The BBC has been in conversations over the documentary series chronicling the Osbourne family, originally conceived in 2022 as a spiritual successor to MTV’s reality series, The Osbournes. Following Ozzy’s passing, Deadline revealed that the documentary series had been reimagined as a film that chronicles the final chapter of the iconic Black Sabbath founder’s life.
Produced by Expectation in association with JOKS Productions Limited, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was filmed over three years. The documentary culminates with Ozzy’s incredible final concert in his home city of Birmingham, where he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates only two weeks before his death.
Like The Osbournes before it, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home will feature contributions from Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon, as well as their children Jack and Kelly.
“We are honored to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family,” said Clare Sillery, BBC Head of Commissioning, Documentaries. “The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the UK. It features family moments, humor, reflection, and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy’s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.”
Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 from a heart attack and coronary artery disease, as well as complications related to Parkinson’s disease. The 76-year-old had received treatment in recent years for numerous ailments, including a spinal injury that required surgery. In February, the rock legend revealed he could no longer walk.
“Back to the Beginning,” Ozzy’s farewell concert on July 5—only two weeks before his passing—featured a solo set from the Prince of Darkness as well as a reunion with Black Sabbath. The show generated $200 million in charitable donations to benefit causes near to Ozzy’s heart, including one for Parkinson’s research.
