During a May 12 livestream on his YouTube channel, Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack was asked by one of the viewers for an update on the status of the long-awaited Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne biopic.

Jack said, "I can tell you this: we are moving ahead.

I was on calls today about it.

The script is right there.

We are good.

This movie will absolutely happen.

Realistically — I mean, look, we're already halfway through '26 — it probably won't come out until '28.

But you never know.

But, yeah, we're full steam ahead.

We're about to start going out and getting a director attached.

So, fingers crossed.

I'm really excited.

It's, yeah, very much been a labor of love, of course.

But, yeah, I'm excited — I'm excited for everyone to see this film." Jack previously talked about the Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne biopic in February 2026 during an appearance on an episode of the acclaimed podcast series "The Magnificent Others", hosted by THE SMASHING PUMPKINS frontman Billy Corgan.

He said at the time: "We're working on my dad's movie right now, and I'm one of the producers on it.

We're doing it at Sony Studios.

And I'm really kind of in the trenches with that.

And it's funny.

Out of all the team assembled on it, with these amazing producers and directors and act[o]rs, whatever, I'm the least qualified, but everyone just comes to me.

I'm the middleman for everyone because if they need questions for my mom or if my mom needs questions for them.

So I've found myself in this position where I'm the middleman with it all, and I'm really enjoying the experience and just learning about it." He added: "Movies, they're different.

It's a different animal." Asked by Billy if the details of the biopic have been announced yet, Jack said: "Well, it was announced that we were doing it with Sony Pictures.

We haven't done announced the cast yet, 'cause we haven't settled [on all of it]." Initially it was gonna go from kind of my dad as a young man to the kind of mid-'90s, but we're shrinking it down," Jack revealed.

"We're doing a rewrite right now.

In my perfect vision of it, it would be kind of tail end of SABBATH, him going solo.

[Because] you gotta have the love story.

And that's kind of the main focus of the film, and all the craziness that happened in the early '80s and Randy's [Rhoads, late Ozzy guitarist] tragic death.

But, yeah, it's an origin story." In January 2026, Jack told "Influenced", the SiriusXM show hosted by multi-talented musician and artist Billy Morrison, about the Ozzy and Sharon biopic: "We are in full steam in the next phase of development with this movie.

That's an acted movie that we've been developing with Sony studios for, like, six years already." As for which actor will play Ozzy in the film, Jack said: "We have our decided pick, and I can't say anything [yet], but it's a phenomenal, phenomenal actor.

We have a director attached, and we're doing a rewrite right now." The film is being produced by Sharon and her children Jack and Aimée Osbourne via their label Osbourne Media (which was also behind the Showtime documentary "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne" and A&E's "Biography: The Nine Lives Of Ozzy Osbourne"), alongside Michele Anthony and David Blackman on behalf of Polygram Entertainment.

Andrea Giannetti is overseeing development for Sony.

Variety also pointed out that music from BLACK SABBATH and Ozzy's solo career will be featured in the film.
