‘It promises to be a funny, moving and honest insight into their new life back in the UK’
After being cancelled in 2005, The Osbournes is set to splash onto our TVs once again and will this time follow the family as they resettle in the UK.
The popular MTV show followed Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon and his children Kelly and Jack through their lives between 2002 and 2005.
While the previous iteration featured the Osbournes in Los Angeles, the BBC reboot will focus on their UK lives. The move was confirmed in August by Ozzy, 73, and Sharon, 69, and they will move to their 20-year-old Grade II listed property, Welders House.
Confirming the news series, Clare Sillery, Head of Documentaries at the BBC, told Metro: “20 years ago, the Osbournes left Britain for a life in LA. Now they are coming “home to roost”, back to their family home, pretty much as they left it all those years ago.
“In this new series, our audience will be able to follow the family as they settle back into their new life in a Buckinghamshire village … it promises to be a funny, moving and honest insight into their new life back in the UK.”
Ozzy had previously spoken on their decision to move and seemingly referenced the amount of mass shooting the US experiences.
“Everything’s f****** ridiculous there. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings,” he said. “And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert … It’s f****** crazy.”
He also told The Observer that he didn’t want to be buried in Forest Lawn, the cemetery favoured by Hollywood’s elite. Paul Walker, Brittany Murphy and Bette Davis are all buried there.
“And I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f****** Forest Lawn,” he said.
