Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a new documentary from executive producer 50 Cent, is set to hit Netflix next month.

On Tuesday (Nov. 25), the streamer announced the documentary’s release date, Dec. 2, and shared a brief teaser video. The four-part doc, which has been teased numerous times by 50, is directed by Alexandria Stapleton.

A press release promises “never-before-seen materials” and “exclusive interviews” across its run of four episodes, each an hour long.

“They said I was capping,” Fif wrote when sharing the series’ key art to Instagram on Tuesday (Nov. 25). “What happened?”

This time last year, the 50-year-old G-Unit Film & TV founder was issuing a joint statement with Stapleton in which the two described the project as one with “significant human impact.”

50 previously teased a Diddy-focused documentary project under the Diddy Do It? title. Another potential title, Surviving P Diddy, was also floated.

“This is gonna break records when this drops,” 50, soon to be seen in a new live-action adaptation of Capcom's Street Fighter video game series, predicted at one point.

When announcing Netflix’s victory in a “bidding war” over the project last December, the recent Complex interviewee suggested additional episodes as a possibility “if more victims keep coming out.”

In July, the sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Diddy, 56, ended with a split verdict. Ultimately, the Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty of two Mann Act violations and later sentenced to 50 months behind bars.

Diddy is currently set to be released in 2028. Meanwhile, his legal team is pursuing an appeal.
