Ozzy Osbourne and his family were followed by a film crew during the final years of the iconic musician’s life. Filming took place over a period of three years. The finished work, “Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home”, will be released on August 18, 2025, on BBC One and iPlayer, and documents the chapter of Ozzy Osbourne’s life from his return to England to the realization of his monumental farewell concert “Back To The Beginning.” The film especially focuses on intimate family moments with his wife Sharon, as well as daughter Kelly and son Jack.
Clare Sillery, BBC's Head of Commissioning for Documentaries, says:
"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.”
Ben Wicks and Colin Barr, Executive Producers at production company Expectation, add:
“It was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy, as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly. Ozzy wanted to make it back to the UK and appear on stage one last time – our film is an inspiring and poignant account of him fulfilling that dream. Ozzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life. But one thing shone through even more brightly to us, and that was Ozzy’s intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.”
