Congratulations! Netflix Finally Releases the Highly Anticipated Ozzy Osbourne Documentary “Back To The Beginning” — Watch Here
In a monumental moment for rock and metal fans around the world, Netflix has finally released the long-awaited documentary, “Back To The Beginning”, chronicling the explosive, chaotic, and deeply personal journey of Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic Prince of Darkness and founding frontman of Black Sabbath. The documentary is now available to stream globally — and it’s already being hailed as one of the most powerful and raw rock documentaries of the decade.
A Look Behind the Shadows
“Back To The Beginning” is not just a chronological recap of Ozzy’s career. It’s a soul-baring journey into the mind, madness, and music of a man who redefined the limits of rock. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Greg Whiteley and produced by Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, the documentary dives deep into the highs, the horrors, and the history that shaped the man behind the myth.
From his humble beginnings in Aston, Birmingham, growing up in poverty and arrested multiple times before turning 18, to his meteoric rise as Black Sabbath’s frontman, and later, as a solo megastar — this film offers a front-row seat to the making of a legend.
Raw, Real, and Unforgettable
The film features never-before-seen archival footage, home videos, interviews, and studio sessions — many of which have never been made public until now. But what truly sets “Back To The Beginning” apart is its unfiltered vulnerability. Ozzy himself narrates much of the story, offering insight into his battles with substance abuse, mental health struggles, and multiple near-death experiences.
In one particularly emotional scene, Ozzy opens up about his 1989 near-overdose and the toll it took on his family. “I wasn’t supposed to survive,” he says. “But music… music was the thing that always pulled me back.”
The film doesn’t shy away from darkness — instead, it embraces it, turning Ozzy’s chaos into catharsis for viewers. It balances the madness of the stage with the stillness of reflection, and that’s what makes it both authentic and humanizing.
A Star-Studded Tribute
“Back To The Beginning” also features commentary from rock royalty — including James Hetfield (Metallica), Dave Grohl, Sharon Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Slash, and Bill Ward — all of whom reflect on Ozzy’s impact on their lives and careers. Sharon’s presence in the film adds emotional depth, offering insight into their stormy yet enduring love story.
The Final Chapter… or a New One?
The film culminates with exclusive backstage and onstage footage from the “Back to the Beginning” farewell concert at Villa Park, Birmingham, where Ozzy reunited with the original Black Sabbath lineup for one final, emotional performance. That concert, described by fans as “the end of an era,” serves as both the emotional climax and the symbolic return to where it all began.
In a surprise twist, the final credits tease that Ozzy’s story may not be completely over — with hints of future projects, including his long-discussed biopic and potential unreleased music.
Fans and Critics React
Within hours of release, fans flooded social media with praise, calling the film “a masterclass in storytelling”, “an emotional rollercoaster”, and “the definitive Ozzy documentary.” Music journalists have lauded it for its cinematic polish, emotional honesty, and historical importance.
Rolling Stone called it “a triumphant, tragic, and unforgettable love letter to one of music’s most misunderstood geniuses.”
Variety declared, “It’s the Ozzy Osbourne story we didn’t know we needed — and now can’t stop watching.”
