Ozzy Osbourne Doc ‘No Escape From Now’ Sets October Release Date on Paramount+, Reveals Emotional Trailer

A powerful new trailer has been released for the documentary "Ozzy: No Escape From Now," showcasing one of the final interviews with the legendary musician before his passing. Directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Tania Alexander, the two-hour film will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on October 7, available in all territories except Japan. Created in close collaboration with the Osbourne family, the project chronicles Ozzy’s six-year health battle and his relentless determination to perform again.

Offering a raw and intimate perspective, the film examines the fallout from Osbourne’s serious fall in early 2019—an incident that forced the cancellation of his farewell tour. Through personal reflections from Ozzy, his wife Sharon, and their children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, the documentary lays bare the toll of numerous surgeries, declining health, and his long-term struggle with Parkinson’s disease. As the official synopsis emphasizes, it presents a frank exploration of how persistent pain affected both his mental state and his creative process during these challenging years.

Exclusive behind-the-scenes material features Osbourne in the recording studio, including work on his 2019 hit with Post Malone, "Take What You Want," as well as the making of his two later albums. In the preview, Ozzy reflects on this period of renewed creativity, stating, “It lifted me out of depression. Making music was the best therapy I could have asked for.” The film also documents his emotional final show in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5, just weeks before his death at age 76.

Although not originally conceived as a memorial, the documentary now serves as a heartfelt homage to Ozzy’s resilience, humor, and enduring influence. In addition to family insights, the production includes interviews with an array of rock luminaries, such as Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Guns N’ Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan, and Metallica’s James Hetfield and Robert Trujillo. This diverse lineup underscores Osbourne’s far-reaching impact across generations of rock music.

Produced by U.K.-based Echo Velvet alongside the Osbourne family and MTV Entertainment Studios, the documentary counts Sharon Osbourne, Bruce Gillmer, Amanda Culkowski, and Phil Alexander among its executive producers. More than a simple account of illness and artistry, "Ozzy: No Escape From Now" stands as a tribute to an artist whose legacy continues to inspire musicians and fans worldwide.
