The Osbourne Family come Home to Roost in new BBC series from Expectation
Over 20 years ago, the Osbourne family left Britain for a life in the US and became the globe’s most iconic reality TV family when they threw open their doors of their LA home and let the world in – sharing their bizarre and hilarious life in the fly-on-the-wall show The Osbournes and were credited with the creation of reality TV.
Now, the world’s most entertaining family are returning to their family home in the UK, pretty much as they left it all those years ago.
Expectation will produce the ten-part series of 30-minute episodes for BBC One and iPlayer, Home to Roost will document Ozzy and Sharon’s journey back to Britain, alongside Kelly and Jack’s efforts to support them, as they attempt to re-start their lives in rural Buckinghamshire.
The 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, after they decided to return home to England permanently after fleeing the United States due to gun violence.
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.
