INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY IN PRODUCTION ON DOCUSERIES ABOUT SEAN "DIDDY" COMBS AMID ALLEGATIONS

(New York, NY) - Leading true crime network Investigation Discovery announced today that it has expanded its partnership with Emmy(R) nominated Maxine Productions ("Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV"), and is in production on a docuseries exploring the rise and influence of Sean "Diddy" Combs and 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. The multipart docuseries is set to premiere in 2025 on ID and Max.

Furthering ID's commitment to elevating survivors' stories, the docuseries will feature the voices of many who have alleged acts of violence and brutality. Through access to archival footage and in-depth reporting from Rolling Stone, along with harrowing testimony from survivors as well as friends and colleagues who knew and worked with Combs before his stardom, the multi-part docuseries will offer insight into unfolding allegations against the once untouchable superstar. It will also highlight the toxic power dynamic that played out within the industry and kept many survivors silenced - until now.

The project is being produced for ID by Maxine Productions and IPC in association with Rolling Stone Films.
