50 Cent’s Sean Combs Documentary Is Coming To Netflix — Here’s When It Premieres
Curtis 50 Cent Jackson’s multi-part Sean Combs documentary now has a Netflix premiere date, ratcheting up anticipation for what the series will reveal.
Netflix just planted a flag for the Sean Combs doc that Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson has been teasing. Yes, that pairing is going to get people talking.
'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' is a four-part docuseries from director Alexandria Stapleton and executive producer 50 Cent, and it goes live worldwide on Netflix on December 2. The series tracks Combs (Diddy, Puff Daddy, Love — pick your era) from his Bad Boy Entertainment rise to the controversies that have swirled around him for years.
- Premiere: December 2 on Netflix (global)
- Format: Four-part documentary series
- Director: Alexandria Stapleton
- Executive Producer: Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson
- Producers: House of Nonfiction, G-Unit Film & Television, Texas Crew Productions
- Scope: Combs's ascent at Bad Boy; his impact on mainstreaming hip-hop; early, career-defining work with The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane
The team is selling this as a no-airs, pull-the-curtain-back project, promising previously unseen material and first-hand accounts from people who worked with or around Combs — former associates, friends, artists, employees, the whole orbit. It paints him as a wildly influential power player while also digging into the darker chapters that shadow his empire.
One behind-the-scenes wrinkle worth noting: the official logline uses some very loaded language to frame its subject. For clarity, as of now, Combs has not been convicted of a crime.
Stapleton says her own experience informed how she approached the story:
Being a woman in the industry, and going through the Me Too movement... When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions.
This isn't just about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie... 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.
Jackson, for his part, frames it as a straight-ahead, let-people-talk doc:
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.
No participant list yet — Netflix and the producers are keeping on-camera names under wraps for now. But between the talent involved and the timing, expect this one to be less comfort-viewing and more conversation-starter.
