Paramount+ has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now will be released on October 7, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+ (via Deadline). The film will be available globally, excluding Japan.
The release follows the death of legendary Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne on July 22, 2025, making this one of his final on-screen appearances.
The documentary arrives just five days after the BBC’s own Osbourne documentary, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, which airs October 2, 2025, at 9 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. ET). Paramount+ releases the trailer today, along with the release date.
What Is Ozzy: No Escape From Now Documentary About?
Ozzy: No Escape From Now is a feature-length documentary chronicling the final six years of Ozzy Osbourne’s life. It includes his 2019 fall and the neck injury that forced him to cancel his farewell tour. The incident led to a series of major surgeries and ultimately revealed his struggle with Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, and declining health.
The documentary captures Ozzy’s attempt to keep creating music despite physical and mental challenges. It includes behind-the-scenes footage of him recording his collaboration with Post Malone (Take What You Want) and two full-length albums produced by Andrew Watt.
Directed by Tania Alexander, the documentary features interviews with Ozzy, Sharon Osbourne, and their children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, as well as music icons such as Tony Iommi, Slash, James Hetfield, and Billy Idol. Watch the trailer below:
The documentary concludes with footage of Ozzy’s final performance, a surprise Black Sabbath reunion in Birmingham on July 5, 2025, just weeks before his passing. Initially not intended as a posthumous project, the film now serves as a tribute to Osbourne’s resilience, creativity, and legacy.
Where to Stream Ozzy: No Escape From Now?
Ozzy: No Escape documentary will stream exclusively on Paramount+ beginning October 7, 2025. The platform holds global rights to documentary films, except in Japan.
The release follows news that the BBC delayed its own Osbourne documentary, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, originally scheduled for August. It was postponed following Ozzy’s death out of respect for the family and will now air on October 2, 2025 (via Deadline). Take a quick look at the release dates:
While both films explore Ozzy’s later life, the Paramount+ documentary offers a more personal and music-focused narrative, supported directly by the Osbourne family. Echo Velvet produces it in partnership with MTV Entertainment Studios and Sharon Osbourne Management.
The documentary promises an intimate look at the final chapter of a rock icon’s life. With firsthand accounts, unseen footage, and appearances by legendary musicians, it’s a must-watch for Ozzy fans.
