Sean Combs: The Reckoning – Netflix Reveals Release Date and First Look Trailer

Sean Combs: The Reckoning is a new four-part documentary series from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson that examines the shocking allegations behind Sean “Diddy” Combs and his Bad Boy empire.

Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, it premieres December 2, 2025 on Netflix.

Here is the synopsis:

Diddy. Puff Daddy. Love. The public knows the hip-hop icon by many names – but who is the real Sean Combs? In a new four-part documentary by Emmy and Grammy Award-winning executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Emmy Award-winning director Alexandria Stapleton, Sean Combs: The Reckoning is a staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender.

Born with an insatiable drive for stardom and a knack for spotting talent, Combs made a quick ascent through the ranks of the music industry with Bad Boy Entertainment and was crucial in bringing hip-hop to the pop masses and launching the careers of dozens of generation-defining artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane. But along the way, and as detailed by his former associates, childhood friends, artists, and employees, something darker began to color his ambitions.

Through explosive, never-before-seen materials, including exclusive interviews with those formerly in his orbit, this documentary tells the story of a powerful, enterprising man and the gilded empire he built – and the underworld that lay just beneath its surface.

“This isn’t just about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie, or the story of any of the victims, or the allegations against him, or the trial. Ultimately, this story is a mirror [reflecting us] as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. I hope [this documentary] is a wake up call for how we idolize people, and to understand that everybody is a human being.” said director Alexandria Stapleton

“I’ve been committed to real storytelling for years through G-Unit Film & Television. I’m grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories, and proud to have Alexandria Stapleton as the director on the project to bring this important story to the screen.” added Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson
