Paramount+ reveals premiere date for Ozzy Osbourne doc from Echo Velvet

US streamer Paramount+ will premiere its observational documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now, about rock icon Ozzy Osbourne’s final six years, on Tuesday October 7.

Ozzy: No Escape From Now

Directed by BAFTA-winner Tania Alexander, the feature-length doc has been produced in collaboration with the Osbourne family and follows the Black Sabbath star’s death in July.

Alongside Ozzy and his wife Sharon, their children Aimee, Kelly and Jack Osbourne speak candidly about the late-night fall their father suffered in February 2019 and its life-changing impact. The accident ultimately led to him cancelling his two-and-a-half-year farewell tour.

The doc details his numerous corrective surgeries, escalating health issues and the progressive effects of his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

Fans are also given the inside story of the two albums that followed – 2020’s acclaimed Ordinary Man and 2022’s double-Grammy-winning Patient Number 9 – both of which contain some of the singer’s most reflective work.

The film is produced by UK production house Echo Velvet (It’s Showtime, Kids Like Us), in partnership with the Osbournes and MTV Entertainment Studios. It is executive produced by Bruce Gillmer and Amanda Culkowski (MTV Entertainment Studios), Phil Alexander (Echo Velvet and former editor-in-chief of MOJO, Q and Kerrang!) and Sharon Osbourne (Sharon Osbourne Management).

In related news, ahead of Sunday’s season three premiere, Paramount+ has renewed Sylvester Stallone series Tulsa King for a fourth season. Terence Winter is on board as executive producer and head writer.
