Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne returns to reality TV. A new series follows his family’s upcoming move to England.
It is still one of the best-known reality TV programs of all time: The MTV series “The Osbournes” showed the entertaining private life of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne (73), wife Sharon (69), daughter Kelly (37 ) and son Jack (36). As the “Daily Mail” now reports, there will be a new reality series about the Osbournes – this time produced by the British BBC. The show will document Ozzy’s move to his native England.
Ozzy Osbourne returns as a reality TV star after 17 years
The 73-year-old Ozzy Osbourne, ex-frontman of the metal legends Black Sabbath, announced just a few days ago that he and his family will be leaving California and moving back to England. One of the reasons he cited was the increasing gun violence in the United States. This move is exactly what the upcoming, as yet untitled, reality show will be about. According to the BBC, the “new life [der Osbournes] in Great Britain”. The plan is therefore “a funny, moving and honest” new series.
The Osbourne family will move into their 120-year-old listed Welders House in Buckinghamshire. It has been family-owned since 1993. The property includes around 140 hectares of land. Before the move, a swimming pool and a recording studio are to be built and air conditioning installed. The move is scheduled for early next year. It is not yet clear when the new reality series will start.
“The Osbournes” shaped reality television
The MTV series “The Osbournes” aired from 2002 to 2005 and won an Emmy Award. Significant turning points in the lives of the Osbournes were seen on the show. Ozzy’s terrible accident in 2003 was discussed, as was his wife Sharon’s cancer.
Rocker Ozzy Osbourne celebrated his live comeback just a few weeks ago after a long absence. In his hometown of Birmingham he closed the Commonwealth Games together with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. The release of his new 13th solo album “Patient Number 9” is planned for September 9th.
