The Osbournes are making their reality TV comeback after nearly two decades as the rocker family return to the UK.
The hit reality show began airing on MTV in 2002 and will be rebooted as Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy and former X Factor judge Sharon are moving back to England from the US. The series offered an often-hilarious insight into family life in the Osbourne household and now viewers will be invited to see how the family will settle back into English life.
The BBC has confirmed the revival of the show which promises to be “funny, moving and honest.” The broadcaster’s head of documentaries, Clare Sillery, told MailOnline: "Twenty years ago the Osbournes left Britain for a life in LA.

“Now they are coming 'home to roost', back to their family home, pretty much as they left it all those years ago. It promises to be a funny, moving and honest insight into their new life back in the UK.”
Sillery added the show would follow the family as they relocate from across the pond to their mansion in Buckinghamshire. The original series was a ratings smash when it aired between 2002 and 2005, when the family lived in Los Angeles with their children, Jack, Kelly and Aimee - who chose not to be featured in the show - and their several dogs.
Broadcast around the world, it was named Outstanding Reality Program at the 2002 Emmys. Husband and wife Ozzy, 73, and Sharon, 69, have been based in the US for 25 years, but recently announced they were returning to the UK as Ozzy slammed the US as “f****** crazy” following innumerable shootings.
Speaking to the Observer, the infamous Birmingham-born rocker said: “Everything’s f****** ridiculous there. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert…
“I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f****** Forest Lawn.”
A date for The Osbournes reboot is yet to be confirmed.
