BBC To Broadcast Final Chapter Of OZZY OSBOURNE's Life in New Documentary Coming Home

The BBC has announced a powerful new one-hour documentary chronicling the final chapter in the life of the late Ozzy Osbourne. Titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the film airs on BBC One and iPlayer at 9 p.m. (U.K. time) on Sunday, August 18, and offers an unflinching, intimate portrait of the heavy metal icon in his final years.

The documentary follows the Osbourne family over three years, capturing Ozzy's battle with serious health issues — including Parkinson's disease and spinal complications — while he and his wife Sharon pursued their longtime dream of returning to the U.K.

Filmed as Ozzy pushed himself to be fit enough for a final live appearance, the documentary centers around his emotional July 5 homecoming performance in Birmingham, where he played both a solo set and a triumphant reunion with Black Sabbath — just 17 days before his death on July 22.

Told through deeply personal access to Sharon, Jack, and Kelly Osbourne, the film is full of love, resilience, and raw vulnerability. Sharon and Ozzy's devotion to one another is evident throughout, while Kelly poignantly remarks: "Iron Man wasn't really made of iron."

"It was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy, as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly," said executive producers Ben Wicks and Colin Barr of Expectation. "Ozzy wanted to make it back to the U.K. 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."

Originally conceived as a reality-style series titled Home to Roost in 2022, the project evolved into a one-hour standalone film due to Ozzy's declining health. Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home is produced by Expectation and JOKS Productions Limited, and distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.

Clare Sillery, BBC head of commissioning, documentaries, said: "We are honored 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 U.K. 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."
