A documentary series chronicling the rise and fall of Sean “Diddy” Combs is in development from Investigation Discovery and “Quiet on Set” producer Maxine Productions.

The news was announced the day after the music executive was formally charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of 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.”

Following the unsealing of the indictment on Tuesday, Combs entered a plea of not guilty during a Manhattan hearing and was denied bail. He will remain in federal custody until the outcome of his trial. If convicted, Combs faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and potentially life imprisonment.

The indictment alleged that Combs has engaged in a pattern of violent, abusive, and controlling behavior toward women for an extended period, including organizing multi-day “freak-offs” that forced women to participate in sexual acts with male sex workers, sometimes recorded on camera. Other allegations included physically assaulting women by striking, kicking, and dragging them by their hair, as well as an incident involving kidnapping at gunpoint and setting someone's car ablaze with a Molotov cocktail. Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has maintained his client’s innocence and stated on Tuesday that he would challenge the denial of bail.

The docuseries will feature interviews with individuals who claim to be victims and include in-depth reporting from Rolling Stone, along with archival footage. Maxine Productions is producing the series in collaboration with Rolling Stone Films and IPC.

The project is set to premiere in 2025 on ID and Max.
