Sean “Diddy” Combs Docuseries Produced by 50 Cent Officially Set At Netflix
Netflix has confirmed it is partnering with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson to produce a documentary series on Sean “Diddy” Combs that will address the recent charges facing the music mogul, including sex trafficking and racketeering, along with multiple allegations of sexual assault and violent abusive behavior.
As Deadline previously reported, Jackson said in May that Netflix had “won the bidding rights” to the project. Netflix confirms it commissioned the project earlier this year. Production is still ongoing, with a series premiere date to be determined.

Alexandra Stapleton will direct and executive produce the series via her House of Nonfiction production company. Jackson will executive produce via his G-Unit Film & Television.
“This is a story with significant human impact,,” said Stapleton and Jackson in a joint statement. “It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far. We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
Combs is currently being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the only federal prison facility in the five boroughs.
The former music mogul was just named Tuesday, Sept. 24, in a civil lawsuit filed by Thalia Graves, accusing him of severe sexual assault at his New York recording studio in 2001, and then selling a video of the assault.
Graves is the 11th person so far to publicly claim that Combs sexually assaulted them.
Another Combs docuseries is in the works at Investigation Discovery from Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV producer Maxine Productions. That docuseries is slated to premiere in 2025.
