Obviously with all he’s seen investigating for his show Portals to Hell (and even before that), Jack Osbourne believes in the paranormal. His parents, however, aren’t on the same wavelength. Will that change with the premiere of a new Travel Channel show featuring the famous family: The Osbournes Want To Believe?
Jack Osbourne is determined to make his parents, Ozzy and Sharon, full-fledged paranormal believers. Dim the lights and settle in for fun, scares and unfiltered humor in Travel Channel’s new series premiering Sunday, August 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
They might be known as the first family of darkness, but when it comes to the paranormal, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne, are borderline skeptics. Determined to turn them fully to the other side, Jack reunites with Ozzy and Sharon kind of like they did for the Portals to Hell watch party to share the craziest, most jaw-dropping videos of supernatural activity ever caught on camera.
But the question is: will the Prince and Princess of Darkness see the light when it comes to the paranormal, or will they think it’s just another ride on the crazy train?
“My parents have always lived on the edge, even when it comes to believing in the supernatural,” said Jack. “I’m convinced they just haven’t seen enough evidence, so I’m making them watch the most undeniable footage caught on camera, including a few from my own personal experiences. My biggest challenge may be keeping their comments family friendly. It will be a classic Osbourne gathering!”
Show Format
During each hour-long episode, Jack will reveal a series of mind-blowing paranormal clips from the great beyond for his parents, Ozzy and Sharon, to witness. From Bigfoot to UFOs, poltergeists, creepy dolls and unexplained apparitions, the couple will review –and critique– each caught-on-camera moment, a compilation of Jack’s favorite pieces of evidence.
Not ones to shy away from honesty and humor, there’s no shortage of fun, antics and lively commentary in the Osbourne screening room.
The First Episode
In the series premiere, Jack Osbourne shares video footage of poltergeists, haunted dolls, UFOs and unidentifiable beasts that leaves Sharon and Ozzy –and their dogs– barking at the moon.
Their outrageously funny reactions include Sharon’s love for Harry & The Hendersons, Ozzy’s historical digressions on Greeks, Romans and the berserkers and a copious amount of swearing –another day with the First Family of Darkness!

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
