Sean Combs: The Reckoning – Explosive four-part documentary lands on Netflix this December

Netflix will release Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a new four-part documentary, on 2nd December. Directed by Emmy-winner Alexandria Stapleton and executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the series takes a closer look at one of hip-hop’s most recognisable – and controversial – figures.

Combs, known throughout his career as Puff Daddy, Diddy, and most recently Love, rose to fame through Bad Boy Entertainment, helping shape the careers of artists like The Notorious BIG, Mary J Blige and Jodeci. But the documentary also explores allegations and darker moments that have followed him over the years.

The series includes new interviews with former collaborators, childhood friends and former employees, along with archive footage and material not previously seen by the public. Together, they present a more complex portrait of the music mogul – one that examines both the heights of his influence and the questions surrounding how it was built.

Sean Combs: The Reckoning runs across four hour-long episodes and joins Netflix’s growing slate of documentaries interrogating the music industry’s biggest names.
