The BBC’s long-gestating Ozzy Osbourne documentary will finally make it to the small screen.
Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home will chart the last chapter of the iconic Black Sabbath founder’s life, with contribution from wife Sharon and children Jack and Kelly.
Following Osbourne’s death, Deadline revealed two weeks back that the BBC was locked in conversations over the future of the documentary series about the Osbourne family, This was originally conceived in 2022 as Home to Roost, a spiritual successor to MTV’s anarchic mid-noughties series The Osbournes.
Produced by Clarkson’s Farm maker Expectation in association with JOKS Productions Limited, Coming Home is filmed over three years and ends with Osbourne’s incredible final concert in his home city of Birmingham, where against all odds he performed with Black Sabbath just a fortnight before he died.
Clare Sillery, BBC Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, said: “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the UK. It features family moments, humour, 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.”
