Paramount Plus has announced the new documentary film, which chronicles the final six years of the Black Sabbath legend’s life and his eagerness to stage the ‘Back To The Beginning’ concert.
Directed by BAFTA winner Tania Alexander, No Escape From Now was filmed over the last six years, and includes exclusive chats with the metal icon’s family members, collaborators, other musicians and one of Ozzy’s final on-screen interviews.
The trailer notes how Ozzy wanted so much to stage a final show as a goodbye to his fans after being forced to cancel all live shows after suffering a fall in 2019 and his return to the studio.
Guests featured in the documentary include Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Ozzy’s guitarist Zakk Wylde and the likes of Chad Smith, Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo, Billy Idol, Duff McKagan and more.
The documentary was reportedly never intended as a posthumous release – it initially made to detail the musician’s battle to return to the live stage after several years away, now burdened with his deteriorating Parkinson’s diagnosis and other injuries.
“Following his death on July 22, 2025, the documentary now stands as a testament to Ozzy’s courage, wit, determination and talent — qualities that ensure he remains a hero to millions around the world,” a press release reads, per Consequence.
Paramount’s documentary reveal comes after the BBC was due to premiere its own Ozzy doc, Coming Home, in August, but pulled it from the broadcasting release schedule just hours before it was set to air. It has yet to receive a new release date.
The BBC documentary was filmed across three years, and followed the late Black Sabbath frontman as he and Sharon made the move back to the UK after decades living in the US, and charted his journey to getting fit enough to perform at his mammoth farewell show, ‘Back To The Beginning’, which was his final live show.
That gig took place on July 5 at Villa Park, in Sabbath’s hometown of Birmingham, falling only two weeks before his death, aged 76, and saw Ozzy joined by rock heavyweights including Guns N’ Roses, KoRn, Tool, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, Gojira, Anthrax, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.
Osbourne was laid to rest in the grounds of his UK mansion during a private ceremony that was attended by Elton John, members of Metallica and more. His cortege had previously travelled through his home city of Birmingham in a procession attended by thousands of fans.
