The Osbournes returning to Reality TV

One of Reality TV’s first families The Osbournes are heading back before the cameras for a new series, Home to Roost.

Over twenty years ago, the Osbourne family left Britain for a life in the US an threw open their doors of their LA home and shared their bizarre life in the fly-on-the-wall show, The Osbournes.

Now, the family are returning to their family home in the UK, pretty much as they left it all those years ago.

A ten-part series will follow the Osbournes as they celebrate one of their most important years yet – with everything from Sharon’s 70th birthday to Kelly’s soon-to-be-born baby, Ozzy’s tour, and of course the big move itself.

This will be a genuine portrait, showing Sharon and Ozzy as they face up to illness and the challenges of getting older, but with the usual Osbourne eccentricities, humour, warmth and love.

Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, says: “I’m delighted that the Osbournes will be sharing this next chapter in their lives with BBC viewers in what promises to be a funny, moving and honest insight into their new life in the UK.”

Ben Wicks and Colin Barr, Creative Directors, Expectation say: “Rejoining the Osbournes as they return to the UK is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Twenty years ago, they shaped television for all of us – now they’re coming home at a different stage in their lives but with the promise of the same laughter, love and tears. We can’t wait to work with them and to share it with BBC One viewers in 2023.”

An Australian broadcaster is yet to be announced.
