The BBC has announced a brand-new one-hour documentary, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, set to air on BBC One and iPlayer on Monday, August 18, 2025, at 9 PM BST. Produced by Expectation for the BBC in association with JOKS Productions Limited, the film offers an intimate look at the final chapter of Ozzy Osbourne’s life, culminating in his poignant homecoming gig in Birmingham on July 5, 2025, just weeks before his death on July 22, 2025.
A Moving Tribute to a Rock Icon
The documentary captures Ozzy’s last performance with his band and a Black Sabbath finale, a defiant and mischievous set that thrilled fans despite his health struggles. Filmed over three years, it follows the Osbourne family—Sharon, Jack, and Kelly—as they pursue their dream of returning to the UK, with Ozzy battling to perform one last time. Kelly’s reflection, “Iron Man wasn’t really made of iron,” encapsulates the film’s emotional core, blending love, laughter, and tears in a candid tribute to the rock legend.
Intimate Family Access
With unique access to the Osbournes, the film chronicles their roller-coaster journey, from Ozzy’s heroic fitness efforts to the dramatic impact of his ill-health. Clare Sillery, BBC Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, said, “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family… It features family moments, humour, reflection, and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon.” Executive Producers Ben Wicks and Colin Barr of Expectation added, “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.”
Following Ozzy’s passing, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home serves as a heartfelt celebration of his legacy, from Black Sabbath to his solo career. Distributed internationally by Banijay Rights, this documentary promises to resonate with fans worldwide, offering comfort and joy as they remember his extraordinary life.
Tune in on August 18 to witness this moving tribute.
