Ozzy Osbourne has been a busy guy lately. The Prince of Darkness is set to perform at halftime of Thursday night’s NFL kickoff game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. He also just released another song from his forthcoming album, “Patient No. 9.” The new track, “Nothing Feels Right,” features Zack Wylde and is a reflective, moody ballad. Ozzy’s new album is set for a Sept. 9 release.
More than 20 years ago, the Osbourne family starred in the iconic reality TV show, “The Osbournes.” The hit show ran from 2002 to 2005 and followed the lives of Ozzy, his wife Sharon and their kids, Kelly and Jack. The series spawned a number of copycat shows including A&E’s “Gene Simmons Family Jewels,” “A&E’s “Growing Up Twisted” with Dee Snider, and also “Hogan Knows Best,” which featured wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and his family.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Ozzy and Sharon are returning to reality TV with a 10-part series of 30 minute episodes for the BBC called “Home To Roost.” The show will document Ozzy and Sharon’s move back to Britain alongside daughter Kelly and son Jack’s efforts to support them as the family re-starts life in rural Buckinghamshire.
The series will feature Ozzy’s 70th birthday celebration, Kelly’s soon-to-be-born child, Ozzy’s tour and the move to England. Clare Sillery, head of commissioning, documentaries, says: “I’m delighted that the Osbournes will be sharing this next chapter in their lives with BBC viewers in what promises to be a funny, moving and honest insight into their new life in the U.K.”
“Rejoining the Osbournes as they return to the U.K. is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” reads a statement from creative directors Ben Wicks and Colin Barr. “Twenty years ago, they shaped television for all of us — now they’re coming home at a different stage in their lives but with the promise of the same laughter, love and tears. We can’t wait to work with them and to share it with BBC One viewers in 2023.”
In 2019, Kelly Osbourne hinted that the family might return to reality TV in an interview with PeopleTV. “I’m not joking, every single year about every three months or so someone else gives us another offer and we keep saying no,” she said. “It keeps coming ’round. Right now there’s another offer on the table and I think this is the closest we’ve ever come to accepting one. But whether that will happen or not, I don’t know.”
