Documentaries capturing Ozzy Osbourne's closing chapters set to premiere posthumously following his demise
In a poignant tribute to the legendary rocker, Ozzy Osbourne's final performance, the Back to the Beginning concert, is set to be the focus of two upcoming documentaries. These films, produced by the BBC and Paramount+, promise an intimate look into the life of the Black Sabbath frontman in his final years.
The BBC's offering, titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, is scheduled to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on August 18, 2025. This 60-minute documentary provides a poignant portrayal of Ozzy's last years from 2022 to 2025, featuring intimate family moments and his preparation for his final concert, held on July 5, 2025, in Birmingham.
Meanwhile, the Paramount+ documentary captures the Back to the Beginning concert in its entirety. Although the exact title is not yet confirmed, this film chronicles the final concert event that served as a fitting farewell and a record-breaking charity event.
Both documentaries were made over a three-year period, with extensive access to Ozzy and his family. The BBC's original title for the documentary was Home to Roost, but it seems the title has been changed.
There is an element of competition between the two streaming services, with both eager to release the documentaries due to Ozzy's enduring popularity. The BBC has yet to confirm an air date for their documentary or if the title has changed.
In another development, Sony is producing a third biopic about Ozzy Osbourne, but it is not expected to air until next year.
It's worth noting that the BBC and Paramount+ have previously produced documentaries about Ozzy Osbourne, making these upcoming films a fitting conclusion to a long and successful collaboration.
Ozzy Osbourne passed away last month at the age of 76 after a long struggle with Parkinson's Disease. The concerts aim to be respectful and approved by the Osbourne family.
The BBC was approached for comment but declined to provide one at this time.
These documentaries promise to offer fans a unique and intimate look into the life of one of rock music's greatest icons in his final years. With both films set to be released within weeks of each other this autumn, it promises to be a memorable season for Ozzy Osbourne fans everywhere.
Pop-culture enthusiasts can anticipate two documentaries, airing this autumn, that delve into the final years of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. These films, titled 'Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home' by the BBC and yet-to-be-confirmed by Paramount+, will showcase exclusive access to the celebrity's life and entertainment events, including the record-breaking and poignant 'Back to the Beginning' concert.
