Ozzy Osbourne documentary postponed at last minute to respect 'family's wishes'
"Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," which was described as a "moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy's life," was set to air Monday, Aug. 18 on BBC One, but it was pulled from the schedule at the last minute.
The network said the documentary has "moved in the schedules," but a new date was not announced.
"Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time," a BBC spokesperson told USA TODAY. "We are respecting the family's wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film."
The BBC spokesperson added that a new date "will be confirmed shortly."
The BBC confirmed the original Aug. 18 air date for "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" earlier in August. At the time, the network said the one-hour documentary was filmed over the course of three years with "unique and intimate access" to the Osbourne family, including the rock star's wife Sharon and their children Jack and Kelly.
The film "captures the extraordinary roller-coaster of their lives as Sharon and Ozzy attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK, Ozzy heroically battles to get fit enough to perform, and the family deal with the dramatic consequences of his ill-health," the BBC said.
"It's a remarkably candid and uplifting tribute to one of the world's true icons, and documents the first family of rock as they are forced to accept that, as Kelly says in the film, 'Iron man wasn't really made of iron,'" per the network.
Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76, weeks after performing a farewell show with Black Sabbath. His cause of death was determined to be a heart attack, according to The New York Times. The rocker had battled Parkinson's disease in the final years of his life.
The Osbourne documentary was originally conceived as a 10-part series titled "Home to Roost," which was announced in 2022. According to the BBC, it "evolved as Ozzy's health deteriorated" into a one-hour movie.

Inside Selena Gomez's Adorable Relationship With Her Little Sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey
THE RUNDOWN Selena Gomez was the only child of Mandy Teefey and her father Ricardo Gomez. The former couple had Gomez fairly young, and it was a long time before she had a sibling. Her younger sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey, was born in June 2013 to Mandy and her second husband, Brian Teefey. Despite their age gap, Gomez and 12-year-old Gracie are quite close. In 2017, Gomez shared a home movie with Gracie, writing in the caption, 'I will forever let my sister know she is strong, bold, and beautiful. She will be raised to know her voice matters. She is going to understand the importance behind being a leader and inspire others by her truth.' For Gracie's 12th birthday, Gomez wrote in June 2025, 'Happy birthday to my baby sissy. As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I'm always on your side. No matter what. I love you baby girl 💕' Here's what to know about Gracie and her adorable relationship with the Only Murders in the Building star. Just after Gracie's 2013 birth, Gomez told E!, 'She's adorable. I'm obsessed with her and becoming a big sister. I know I've had the responsibility to be a role model for girls but when you have a little sister of your own, you kinda think, 'Okay, this is legit.'' She later said, 'I keep her very very protected. I mean, it's instinctual.' In 2014, she shared a picture of Gracie as an infant sitting by her at the piano, calling her 'the future.' She often shared pics of Gracie as a baby, calling her 'sissy.' Gracie made the perfect date to the Frozen 2 premiere in 2019, being a part of the target audience. In an interview with BBC One, Gomez shared that she coached her then 6-year-old sister on what to do if she didn't feel comfortable on the red carpet. 'If you get nervous, if you get overwhelmed, just pull my hand and I'll take you off immediately,' she said. 'I said to her, 'This is my favorite red carpet I have ever done.' Because she's never done any of that, and we didn't force her to do that. Everything we do…to keep her safe, but my sister's become very dramatic now. She's all about the dresses and the glitter.' Gracie did so well that she was Gomez's date to the 2022 Golden Globes. Gomez often shares pics of Gracie on Instagram in which she's clearly an active part of the pop star's life and hanging out with her friends, like in this carousel of images from her time in Paris. In July 2024, she shared some throwback photos of them together, captioning it, 'There's nothing like a little sister and the bond you have. I will forever protect you, help guide you and love you through every single moment in life baby girl.' In March 2024, they shared a 'sissy date night.' And in 2023, she called Gracie her 'little me.' Gomez gave fans another look at her life with Gracie in an August 2025 Instagram. They cuddled up over dinner together: Gomez posted an Instagram Story in June 2025, revealing her longtime friend Taylor Swift and Gracie are very close. She captioned the clip of Gracie watching a Swift music video, 'When she loves Auntie Taylor more than me.' In August 2022, Gomez spoke on the Giving Back Generation about how Gracie is her rainbow, along with her family. 'She's eight years old, and she puts things in perspective,' Gomez said. 'I have to basically watch this little person grow into a human being and there's no better feeling in the world. I kind of feel like I'm a parent in a way even though I'm not. It's so rewarding to see that life was so simple at one point, and I want to enjoy life sometimes the way she enjoys life.'

Amanda Knox, Monica Lewinsky reclaim the red carpet together
Amanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky are reclaiming their stories on the red carpet. The "Waiting to Be Heard" author and the anti-bullying activist posed together on the red carpet Aug. 19 while promoting their new eight-part Hulu series "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" (now streaming). For the show's New York City premiere, Knox wore a long, lacy Giambattista Valli Paris dress paired with pink Aquazzura heels, while Lewinsky stunned in a gold dress and pumps. It's been nearly two decades since Knox, then a 20-year-old student at the University of Washington, traveled 5,600 miles to study abroad in Perugia, Italy, about two hours north of Rome. Knox moved into an apartment, which she'd share with Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old British student. The two had become friends, but police arrested Knox and charged her with murdering Kercher. The new Hulu show follows Knox's nightmare journey, spending nearly four years in an Italian prison before being acquitted in 2011. She'd be found guilty (again) in 2014 and finally exonerated in 2015. Lewinsky, too, has faced the scrutiny of mainstream media's sometimes harsh light. The media painted the former White House intern, who had an affair with President Bill Clinton in the 1990s while he was in office, as a "little tart" (The Wall Street Journal) and "a ditsy, predatory White House intern" (The New York Times). Amanda Knox: 'Twisted Tale' asks, 'in the wake of trauma, how do you rebuild your life?' Monica Lewinsky produced 'Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' on Hulu Over the past decade, though, Lewinsky reclaimed the affair's public fallout as a contributing writer to Vanity Fair with a viral 2015 TED talk about public shaming. In more recent years, Lewinsky – who is credited as an executive producer on "Twisted Tale" – has rebounded as a rising producer in Hollywood. Knox said that Lewinsky "held my hand through this experience because she's been a trailblazer in this regard of a woman who had her worst experience used to bury her and turn her into a punchline," adding that she came "back and reclaimed her sense of self and her purpose in life and didn't allow all of these external forces to diminish her." She first stepped into the industry in September 2021 as a producer on Ryan Murphy's "Impeachment: American Crime Story," partly inspired by events in her own life. That fall, she executive-produced the HBO documentary "15 Minutes of Shame." "From my own experience, the first step was surviving," Lewinsky told USA TODAY. "Holding on to the hope that things can change. It won't be as bad as it is in the eye of the storm forever." Knox told USA TODAY that Lewinsky's reclamation made her believe that "there was perhaps a path forward for me in this world." So Knox asked to meet, and the pair later became friends. When Lewinsky learned four years later that Knox wanted to adapt her 2013 memoir, she reached out. The rest is history (or a Hulu series out now).
