Netflix Releases Trailer for the Highly Anticipated Ozzy Osbourne Documentary – WATCH NOW
Netflix has just dropped the official trailer for its upcoming documentary about the legendary “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy Osbourne — and it’s already generating massive buzz across the world of rock and entertainment. Titled “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne,” the film promises an intimate, unfiltered look at the man behind the myth, tracing his rise from a troubled Birmingham childhood to international superstardom, and the chaos, fame, addiction, and redemption that marked each chapter of his storied life.
The trailer opens with grainy footage of a young Ozzy walking the streets of Aston, a working-class district in Birmingham, UK, followed by a voiceover: “I was born to be a rock star… or to die trying.” The documentary quickly cuts to an adrenaline-fueled montage of his time with Black Sabbath, his wild solo career, and the reality TV era that introduced a new generation to the metal icon’s bizarre and brilliant world.
A Raw and Unfiltered Portrait
Produced in collaboration with Ozzy’s family, including wife Sharon Osbourne, “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne” doesn’t shy away from the darker moments. The trailer hints at emotional interviews where Ozzy discusses his battles with substance abuse, brushes with death, and the toll fame took on his health and relationships. “There were times I didn’t think I’d make it,” Ozzy says in a heartbreaking moment. “But music kept pulling me back.”
Sharon Osbourne also features prominently, offering candid insights into their tumultuous but enduring marriage. “There’s only one Ozzy. You either run from it, or you ride the storm,” she says in one of the film’s standout lines. The documentary balances personal testimony with rich archival footage, giving fans both context and emotion — a true behind-the-curtain look at one of music’s most enigmatic figures.
Tributes from Rock Royalty
Adding further depth, the documentary includes never-before-seen interviews with a host of rock legends and close friends, including Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and even Post Malone, who collaborated with Ozzy in recent years. Each shares stories about Ozzy’s impact on their music and lives, offering both praise and disbelief at his resilience and creativity.
“People always thought Ozzy was just the madman biting the head off a bat,” says Iommi. “But he’s also a genius — his voice, his instincts. He helped invent heavy metal.”
A Cultural Icon Reexamined
What makes this documentary stand out is its approach to Ozzy not just as a rock star, but as a cultural phenomenon. From the bat-biting headlines and riotous tours to his unexpected transformation into a reality TV icon through The Osbournes, Netflix’s film explores how Ozzy continually reinvented himself — often by accident — and how he remained relevant across five decades.
Netflix’s head of music documentaries, Sarah Turner, describes the project as “one of the most powerful music stories we’ve ever told — not just because of the fame and the madness, but because of the vulnerability and the survival.”
