Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sons, Justin Combs and Christian ‘King’ Combs, have announced they will star in a new Zeus Network docuseries slated to debut in 2026 that aims to document how their family has been affected by their father’s federal trial and conviction. The pair revealed the project with a trailer on social media on 28 December 2025, showing them watching footage from outside the courthouse where headlines about their father’s legal saga unfolded. The clip ends with Justin receiving a call from Diddy at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, where he is serving a 50‑month sentence.

The announcement arrives in the wake of the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a four‑part series directed by Alexandria Stapleton and executive produced by rapper 50 Cent, who has been a longtime rival of Diddy. That Netflix project covered Diddy’s rise to fame and the controversies that led to his arrest and was released earlier in December 2025 to significant attention.

50 Cent’s involvement in The Reckoning has been part of the ongoing public feud with Diddy, with the rapper publicly defending his role in the documentary and rejecting claims that his motivations were rooted in their decades‑long rivalry. When asked about the film, 50 Cent said the documentary shows ‘his character’ and rejected accusations that it was unfairly biased, emphasising that if he had stayed silent, people would interpret silence as acceptance.

In reaction to news of the new docuseries by Justin and Christian, 50 Cent took to social media to comment on their trailer, writing “Wow! I want to see this show, I’m not sure this was a good idea.” His remark has sparked discussion, with some interpreting it as scepticism about the timing and potential reception of the sons’ series given the surrounding controversy.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The forthcoming Zeus docuseries is expected to focus on the brothers’ personal experiences during their father’s trial and the intense media scrutiny that accompanied it, offering their own perspective amid the broader public narrative shaped by The Reckoning. Social media reaction to the trailer was immediate and mixed, with some viewers expressing curiosity about what new insight the brothers’ series might bring, and others questioning whether it will diverge significantly from the already widely covered events.

While no official release date has been announced beyond the year 2026, the project is poised to be one of the most talked‑about docuseries of the year, given the combination of family drama, celebrity scandal and the backdrop of one of the most high‑profile rivalries in hip‑hop history.
