A docuseries on the rise and fall of Sean “Diddy” Combs is in the works from Investigation Discovery and “Quiet on Set” producer Maxine Productions.
The news was announced the day after the music mogul was formally charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
According to a press release, the currently untitled project will explore “the “allegations of violent behavior and illegal activity that have trailed the music mogul. As accounts of sexual assault, abusive behaviors and other disturbing claims surface, the doc traces the story of this self-proclaimed Bad Boy, unraveling allegations of a pattern of depravity.”
After the indictment was unsealed on Tuesday, Combs pleaded not guilty during a Manhattan hearing and was denied bail. He will remain in federal custody pending the outcome of his trial. If convicted, Combs faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and potentially life in prison.
The indictment alleged that Combs has been violent, abusive and coercive toward women for many years, including orchestrating multi-day “freak-offs” that forced women to engage in sexual acts with male sex workers, sometimes on camera. Other allegations included hitting, kicking and dragging women by their hair as well as an instance of kidnapping at gunpoint and setting fire to someone’s car with a Molotov cocktail. Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has continued to assert his client’s innocence and said on Tuesday that he would appeal the decision to deny bail.
The docuseries will feature interviews with alleged victims and include in-depth reporting from Rolling Stone as well as archival footage. Alongside Maxine Productions, IPC is producing in association with Rolling Stone Films.
The project is set to premiere in 2025 on ID and Max.
