Paramount+ has officially announced the premiere of OZZY: NO ESCAPE FROM NOW, a feature-length documentary that captures the final six years of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne’s life. The film, developed in close collaboration with the Osbourne family, will stream globally starting October 7. Originally intended as a living tribute, the documentary has taken on deeper meaning following Ozzy’s death on July 22, 2025.
The documentary offers an intimate look into the personal and physical challenges Ozzy faced in his later years, including the life-altering fall he suffered in 2019 that triggered a painful series of spinal surgeries and ultimately led to the cancellation of his farewell tour. It also explores the impact of his Parkinson’s diagnosis—on both his body and his spirit—through raw, heartfelt conversations with his wife Sharon and children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. “He was in hospital for weeks… that was his biggest heartbreak,” Aimee shares in the film.
Despite these struggles, OZZY: NO ESCAPE FROM NOW is not just a story of pain and decline. It celebrates Ozzy’s relentless creative drive, particularly his unexpected return to music through a 2019 collaboration with Post Malone on “Take What You Want.” That experience reinvigorated Ozzy’s passion and led to two critically acclaimed albums, Ordinary Man and the Grammy-winning Patient Number 9, both of which are featured prominently in the film.
The documentary also includes tributes and reflections from close friends and musical collaborators including Tony Iommi, Slash, and James Hetfield—each offering deeply personal insights into the man behind the music. Their voices, combined with never-before-seen footage and unfiltered family commentary, help paint a complete portrait of Ozzy’s final chapter.
While OZZY: NO ESCAPE FROM NOW was never envisioned as a posthumous release, it now stands as a profound and powerful homage to a once-in-a-generation artist who redefined rock and metal while battling immense personal odds. With his signature candor, wit, and unmatched resilience, Ozzy Osbourne’s final years are documented with respect, honesty, and admiration.
The documentary is more than a farewell—it’s a celebration of a legacy that will echo for generations to come.
