The highly anticipated BBC series featuring the iconic couple Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne has hit a slight bump in the road. Sharon recently revealed that her husband, Ozzy, is causing a delay in the family's return to television screens. Fans of the famous family may remember them from their hit MTV reality show, The Osbournes, which aired from 2002 to 2005 and was hailed as the most-watched series on MTV.
After nearly 20 years since their last show, the BBC announced a new 10-part series called Home to Roost, set to premiere in 2022. The series will follow the couple as they move back to their home country of the United Kingdom after living in Los Angeles for many years. The episodes will also document their children, Kelly and Jack, as they support their parents and adjust to life in rural Buckinghamshire.
But despite the initial excitement, the show is now facing some obstacles. Sharon shared in an interview on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast that she's been trying to convince Ozzy to move back to the U.K., but he's not quite on board yet. "I wanted to reverse it; to spend more time in England and come here and visit, like on birthdays, holidays and stuff like that. And I have been trying to get Ozzy to get out of the house and come to England. I am still trying," she explained.
When asked if Ozzy was hesitant to leave their home in Los Angeles, Sharon replied, "He does, yeah. But not a lot. Not a lot. He is having a little bit of a tough time. Getting old and not being well sucks." It's no secret that the 75-year-old musician has been struggling with his health, including a Parkinson's disease diagnosis five years ago and multiple surgeries on his back.
The BBC crew has been filming the family since January 2023, but according to a source close to Ozzy, he has other priorities at the moment. The insider claimed that Ozzy wants to attend the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame solo career induction in Ohio in October and is currently working with his band and physios to prepare for the event. They also added that there are certain aspects of his rehabilitation that the cameras are not allowed to capture due to their personal nature.
It seems that Ozzy's reluctance to leave Los Angeles is causing a roadblock for the TV series. He has expressed his love for being close to his grandchildren and music friends in LA and is unsure about returning to England. This hesitation may also be related to his previous comments about not wanting to die in "crazy America" due to concerns about gun violence.
Despite the delay, fans can still look forward to seeing the Osbournes back on their screens in the future. Their children, Kelly and Jack, both live in Los Angeles and have families of their own. Ozzy and Sharon have five grandchildren in total, with Jack having four daughters and Kelly having a son.
The family is currently in contact with the BBC and Ozzy and Sharon's representatives for any updates on the show.
