Postponement of documentary release by Ozzy Osbourne's family amid grief
The highly anticipated documentary "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" was set to air on BBC One on August 18, 2025. However, following the passing of the legendary rockstar Ozzy Osbourne on July 22, the BBC made the decision to postpone the broadcast out of respect for the Osbourne family.
The BBC has not yet announced a new transmission date for the documentary, but a spokesperson for the broadcaster has confirmed that the film has moved in the schedules. The statement expresses sympathies towards the Osbourne family and indicates that a new transmission date will be confirmed shortly.
"Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" is described as a moving portrait of the Osbourne family, capturing both the highs and lows of their household during Ozzy's final years. The documentary chronicles his battle with Parkinson's disease, his final concert, and other personal moments filmed over three years prior to his death.
Originally conceived as a series, the documentary was edited into a one-hour special due to Ozzy's declining health. The BBC's postponement of the airing aims to respect the family's grief and wishes rather than any technical or production issues.
The documentary is considered a special film, a glimpse into the life of one of the world's most entertaining families at a pivotal moment in their history. The BBC will confirm the new transmission details "in due course."
Update: As of late August 2025, the BBC has not provided a confirmed rescheduled date for the broadcast of "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home."
