Two films documenting various topics are set to be unveiled in the year 2025 - Upcoming releases in 2025: Two documentaries on the horizon
In a poignant tribute to the legendary musician, two documentaries are set to delve into the final chapters of Ozzy Osbourne's life. The first, "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," is a 60-minute BBC production scheduled to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on August 18, 2025, at 9 PM UK time.
"Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" offers an intimate glimpse into the singer's life from 2022 to 2025, featuring footage from his final concert, "Back To The Beginning," held in Birmingham on July 5, 2025. The documentary also captures personal and heartfelt family moments as the Osbournes return to the UK from the US.
Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing regarding a potential biopic about Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s relationship, which could potentially be produced by Sony or Paramount+. The film, tentatively titled "Home to Roost," is set to release in theaters in the summer of 2027. Jack Osbourne, Ozzy's son, has revealed that the script for the biopic is already complete.
While the release dates for the biopic are yet to be announced, it's reported that production could begin as early as next spring. The director for the biopic has been selected, and both companies, BBC and Paramount+, have had three years of exclusive access to Ozzy and his family.
Tragically, Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22 at the age of 76. The cause of his death was cardiac arrest following an acute heart attack. The second documentary, "Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now," will cover the years from 2022 to 2025 and is set to be released later this year.
The documentaries are expected to offer a unique and poignant insight into the life of one of rock music's most iconic figures. With interviews from musicians such as Tony Iommi (77) and Duff McKagan (61), the documentaries promise to be a fitting tribute to Ozzy Osbourne's incredible career and life.
As both companies race to be the first to release their documentaries, rumours suggest they could potentially release within weeks of each other this fall. The BBC's original documentary, initially planned as a series, is now likely to be released as a film.
Stay tuned for more updates on these highly anticipated tributes to the life and career of Ozzy Osbourne.
Ozzy Osbourne's life and career will be honored in two upcoming documentaries, with "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on August 18, 2025, and the biopic "Home to Roost," produced possibly by Sony or Paramount+, scheduled for a summer 2027 release in theaters.
