Sean Combs: The Reckoning dives into the rise and fall of music mogul Sean Diddy Combs.

Netflix has just dropped the first trailer for the upcoming four-part documentary. The series premieres on December 2.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will executive produce the project with direction by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Alexandria Stapleton. Sean Combs: The Reckoning will focus on the music artist’s career and his influence in the industry.

The first trailer of Sean Combs: The Reckoning established what to expect from the documentary. The trailer ends with the following:

"Everything in life, you'll have people that are bad and people that are good. You'll have to choose your side."

The upcoming documentary will also deal with the serious allegations that have come to light in recent years. Combs is currently serving time in federal prison. Viewers may see a depiction of Combs’ rise through Bad Boy Entertainment, where he was known for his ambition and work.

Diddy was also involved in talent scouting, leaving a major impact on hip-hop’s expansion into mainstream pop culture. He played a central role in launching the careers of artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane. The documentary will also include accounts from his former associates, who may speak about the controversy that developed over the years.

Much of this resurfaced after Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs in November 2023. According to Netflix Tudum, the documentary director Stapleton maintained,

“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."

Stapleton says Ventura’s lawsuit made her consider how much the culture has changed in how it processes allegations against powerful figures. She describes the documentary as a mirror held up to the public, asking viewers to reflect on celebrity worship and accountability.
