BBC Announces New Air Date for Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home
The BBC has confirmed a new broadcast date for its highly anticipated one-hour documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home. Originally set to air on Monday, August 18th, the program was unexpectedly pulled from the schedule on the very day of its planned debut.
At the time, the BBC released a statement explaining the decision: “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.” Now, with a new date secured, fans will finally have the chance to see the intimate portrait of the Prince of Darkness.
Coming Home promises to shine a light on Ozzy Osbourne’s later years, capturing the balance between his legendary career and the private struggles that have defined recent chapters of his life. From ongoing health battles to quiet family moments, the documentary aims to present a man who has lived loudly in public but still treasures the warmth of home. Featuring candid interviews and rare behind-the-scenes footage, it is set to be one of the most personal projects ever broadcast about the heavy metal icon.
In addition to the BBC special, fans have even more to look forward to. Paramount+ has announced the premiere of a separate two-hour feature, Ozzy: No Escape From Now, arriving Tuesday, October 7th. The international release will provide an even broader canvas, charting Ozzy’s rise from Birmingham beginnings to global superstardom, while exploring the cost of fame and his unrelenting spirit in the face of adversity.
Together, the two films offer a comprehensive reflection on one of rock’s most enduring figures. For audiences, it is both a celebration and a reminder: Ozzy Osbourne’s story is not just about music — it’s about survival.
