Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Years Documented in Emotional Trailer for BBC’s ‘Coming Home’ Documentary

The BBC has unveiled the trailer for its long-awaited Ozzy Osbourne documentary about the late rock star’s final years as he and wife Sharon moved from Los Angeles back to the U.K.

Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was initially scheduled to premiere on BBC One in the U.K. on August 18, but the doc was pulled from TV schedules just hours before it was set to air.

“The film has moved in the schedules, and we’ll confirm new [transmission] details in due course,” a BBC spokesperson told Us Weekly at the time.

In a subsequent statement shared with Us, the BBC said, “Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time. We are respecting the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film. The new [airdate] will be confirmed shortly.”

The documentary is now set to premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, October 2, at 9 p.m. local time.

The trailer for the doc shows Ozzy and wife Sharon, 72, relocating their lives from Los Angeles to their native England and also features interviews with the couple’s children Jack and Kelly Osbourne.

“Do you want a quiet life now?” Sharon asks Ozzy in the trailer. “No. Yes, but no,” the Black Sabbath singer responds.

Meanwhile, Kelly, 40, opines in the clip, “I don’t think it’s possible for either one of them to retire.”

The trailer also features a sweet insight into Ozzy and Sharon’s 43-year marriage as Sharon shares, “He is very romantic. He still leaves me little notes. I’ll open a drawer and there’s a little note from him.”

Coming Home was initially conceived in 2022 as a docuseries following Sharon and Ozzy’s return to the U.K. after decades of living in the U.S. Following Ozzy’s death at age 76 in July, the BBC announced that it would be retooled as a one-off documentary, which it described as a “moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy’s life, told through unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family, including [Ozzy’s wife] Sharon, [son] Jack and [daughter] Kelly.”

Days after the BBC airs its documentary on Ozzy, Paramount+ is set to release its own film, Ozzy: No Escape From Now, on Tuesday, October 7. The documentary details Ozzy’s final years as he prepared for his final concert with Black Sabbath at the Back to the Beginning festival in his hometown of Birmingham, England.

“If my life’s coming to an end, I really can’t complain. I had a great life,” Ozzy reflects in a trailer released on September 17.
