The one-hour documentary is set to premiere on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer on August 18.
The BBC will air a new documentary later this month chronicling the final years of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne’s life.
Titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the 60-minute standalone film — shot between 2022 and 2025 — will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 9 p.m. UK time on August 18.
Billed as “a moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy’s life,” the documentary features never-before-seen moments with the Osbourne family — including wife and manager Sharon, and two of their children, Kelly and Jack — as they relocate from the U.S. back to the UK. Cameras follow Ozzy as he prepares for Back to the Beginning, his final concert, held in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5.
BBC Head of Commissioning for Documentaries Clare Sillery said, “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. The film offers an intimate look at their journey home, with moments of humour, reflection, and the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to fans as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.”
Originally commissioned as a series in 2022, Coming Home was reworked into a one-off film as Ozzy’s health declined. The singer suffered a serious fall in 2019 that aggravated past injuries from a 2003 accident, and in 2020 revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He retired from touring in 2023.
Ozzy passed away at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22, just 17 days after reuniting onstage with his fellow Black Sabbath co-founders for their final show at Back to the Beginning. His cause of death was confirmed as cardiac arrest. A private funeral was held on July 30, with a public farewell in Birmingham as his funeral procession crossed the city’s iconic “Black Sabbath Bridge” and travelled down Broad Street, where tens of thousands of fans gathered to pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness.
