The BBC documentary will air on Oct. 2 after its August release was delayed due to the wishes late musician’s family
The BBC has released the trailer for Coming Home, a documentary about Ozzy Osbourne that is set to debut on Oct. 2. The clip showcases Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne “as they plan their dream of moving back to the U.K.”
The trailer opens with the couple traveling in the back of a car. “I’m so looking forward to an English summer,” Osbourne notes in an interview. As they arrive at their Buckinghamshire mansion, Sharon explains that the couple had “always referred to this as home.” “It looks magnificent, Sharon,” Osbourne replies.
The musician is asked by Sharon if he wants “a quiet life” in his older years and replies, “No… Yes, but no.” Their daughter Kelly Osbourne chimes in, “I don’t think it’s possible for either one of them to retire, ever.”
Coming Home was initially set to air on Aug. 18, but was pulled from the TV schedule at the last minute due to “the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer.” The one-hour documentary, directed by Paula Wittig, was filmed over three years. It was originally announced as a series, Home To Roost, in 2022, but the project evolved as Osbourne’s health continued to deteriorate. The metal legend spent the last few years of his life battling Parkinson’s disease, as well as injuries he sustained from a late-night fall in 2019.
The BBC has described the show as a “remarkably candid and uplifting tribute” to one of the world’s “true icons.” It feature s“unique and intimate access” to the whole Osbourne family, and also contains footage of Osbourne working to get in shape for his farewell concert, which took place in early July, just a few weeks before his death.
Paramount+ recently premiered the official trailer for its own Osbourne documentary, No Escape From Now, which also spans the past three years of the musician’s life. That release arrives Oct. 7.
Coming Home will premiere on BBC One and iPlayer on Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. BST.
