    One of reality television's most iconic families is returning to the small screen.

    Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne will star in a new BBC series, Home to Roost, which sees the family move back to the U.K. 20 years after they first ventured into Hollywood with The Osbournes. The reality series premiered on MTV in 2002 and ushered in a new era of famous-for-being-famous content that led to The Simple Life and Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

    Home to Roost will follow Ozzy and Sharon as they attempt to re-start their lives in rural Buckinghamshire, as their children, Jack and Kelly, support them from near and far. According to producers, the 10-episode BBC series will include Sharon's 70th birthday, Kelly's pregnancy journey, and Ozzy's recent tour, among other major milestones.

    "I'm delighted that the Osbournes will be sharing this next chapter in their lives with BBC viewers in what promises to be a funny, moving and honest insight into their new life in the U.K.," said Clare Sillery, head of commissioning, documentaries, in a statement.

    Sadly, The Osbournes is not currently available to stream or rent/purchase, but perhaps the BBC can figure something out before Home to Roost hits BBC One and iPlayer in the months ahead.
