How to Watch Ozzy Osbourne and His Family on ‘The Osbournes’

Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76. The former Black Sabbath frontman and star of “The Osbournes” died surrounded by family, though no official cause of death has been announced.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the Osbourne family said in a statement to The Sun on Tuesday, July 22. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

While tributes pour in from fans and fellow musicians alike, many are looking back at one of Osbourne’s most unexpected legacies—his role in shaping reality TV history with “The Osbournes.”

How to Watch ‘The Osbournes’ Online in 2025

Alongside his Hall of Fame rock career, Ozzy became a cultural phenomenon in the early 2000s as the center of “The Osbournes,” the hit MTV reality series that aired from 2002 to 2005. The show offered a chaotic, unfiltered—and expletive-filled—look into life with Ozzy, wife Sharon Osbourne, and their children Kelly and Jack Osbourne.

If you’re looking to rewatch—or discover—the series for the first time, you’ll have to look beyond MTV’s streaming home. Surprisingly, “The Osbournes” isn’t available on Paramount+, despite the show’s original network affiliation.

Instead, the full series is streaming for free on Tubi and Xumo Play, including all four seasons and exclusive “Basement Tape” commentary episodes from the Osbourne family. You can also catch every episode on The OsbournesTV YouTube page, where classic clips and bonus content have been officially uploaded.

Prefer to stream with a subscription? Amazon’s Prime Video currently carries all four seasons. And for those craving even more Osbourne antics, both seasons of the paranormal spinoff “The Osbournes Want to Believe” are streaming now on HBO Max.

Inside the Show That Changed Reality TV Forever

“The Osbournes” was more than a novelty—it was a massive ratings hit and a cultural reset for early 2000s TV. The show followed Ozzy, Sharon, Jack, and Kelly as they navigated fame, family fights, and a house full of misbehaving pets and unexpected guests.

The family’s oldest daughter, Aimee Osbourne, chose not to appear on the series, citing a desire to maintain her privacy. Still, the show managed to capture the public’s attention, becoming MTV’s highest-rated show during its debut season and winning the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program.

The show’s raw honesty—whether addressing Sharon’s cancer battle or Ozzy’s near-fatal ATV crash—gave it emotional weight beyond the chaotic surface.

And it was incredibly lucrative.

As EntertainmentNow previously reported, each participating Osbourne family member earned $20,000 per episode in season 1, totaling $800,000 for the family. But when the show exploded in popularity, Sharon stepped in to renegotiate their contracts—securing $5 million per person for season 2, along with a slew of additional perks.
