Netflix Releases Highly Anticipated Documentary Series on Ozzy Osbourne, Featuring Emotional Interviews, Rare Footage, and Unseen Moments from the Legendary Rock Star’s Turbulent Life and Iconic Career… WATCH NOW
The Prince of Darkness is back — this time not on stage, but on screen. Netflix has officially released its highly anticipated documentary series chronicling the chaotic, thrilling, and deeply personal life of Ozzy Osbourne, one of rock and roll’s most iconic and controversial figures. Titled simply “OZZY”, the multi-part series offers an unfiltered look into the turbulent world of the Black Sabbath frontman and solo superstar, delivering a mix of emotional interviews, rare archival footage, and never-before-seen moments that paint a vivid picture of the man behind the madness.
From his gritty beginnings on the streets of Aston, Birmingham, to the dizzying highs of stardom and the dark lows of addiction, loss, and personal battles, the documentary pulls no punches. It doesn’t just focus on the rockstar image — it goes deeper. This is the raw, human story of John Michael Osbourne, the troubled yet brilliant artist who changed music forever.
A Journey Through Chaos and Glory
Split into six hour-long episodes, “OZZY” traces his early life as a working-class kid with dreams too big for his surroundings. Viewers are transported back to the smoky pubs and steel factories of Birmingham, where Ozzy’s journey with Black Sabbath began — a band that would soon invent heavy metal and redefine the boundaries of sound, rebellion, and culture.
Through rare backstage footage and restored vintage concert clips, we see the chemistry between Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward during Sabbath’s most groundbreaking years. But it’s the candid commentary — from Ozzy himself, his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne, children Kelly and Jack, and bandmates past and present — that gives the series its emotional backbone.
Candid Reflections & Shocking Revelations
One of the most powerful aspects of the documentary is Ozzy’s vulnerability. In a voiceover that’s equal parts broken and brave, he opens up about his long battle with substance abuse, his brushes with death, and the overwhelming guilt he still carries for moments of violence and neglect during his darkest years.
In one particularly haunting episode, Ozzy recounts the night he nearly lost his family due to his addiction:
“I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize myself. I wasn’t Ozzy. I was a monster. And somehow… Sharon still loved me.”
These moments of self-awareness are juxtaposed with hilarious, heartwarming scenes from the Osbourne family’s early days on reality TV — offering a reminder that behind the leather, eyeliner, and on-stage antics was a family trying to stay together under the weight of fame.
Tributes from Rock Royalty
“OZZY” also features exclusive interviews with some of music’s biggest names, including James Hetfield (Metallica), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Rob Halford (Judas Priest), and even Paul McCartney, all reflecting on Ozzy’s influence and lasting legacy.
Hetfield calls him:
“The godfather of our madness. Without Ozzy, metal would’ve never had a face.”
McCartney adds with a grin:
“You might not expect it, but Ozzy’s got a massive heart. He’s a madman, sure… but a beautiful one.”
More Than Just a Rock Doc
This isn’t just a music documentary. “OZZY” is a portrait of resilience — a story of survival, reinvention, and the high cost of greatness. It’s about how one man turned personal pain into universal art, and how despite everything, he never gave up on music… or himself.
