The sons of music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs are preparing to publicly grapple with their father's high-profile criminal conviction in a forthcoming documentary series. Justin Combs, 31, and Christian 'King' Combs, 19, feature prominently in a newly released trailer for the project, which promises an intimate look at the family's fallout from the trial and sentencing.
A Family's Private Struggle Goes Public
The untitled docuseries, announced via Instagram on December 28 by Zeus Network founder Lemuel Plummer, is scheduled for release in 2026. While an exact premiere date remains unconfirmed, the series will chronicle the profound impact of Diddy's legal battles on his children. A teaser trailer shows the two brothers in a screening room, watching news headlines and footage related to their father's case flash across the screen.
Diddy, 56, was convicted in July 2024 on two charges related to prostitution under the Mann Act and sentenced in October 2024 to 50 months in federal prison. He is currently incarcerated at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey. The trailer poignantly concludes with Justin answering a collect call from the prison.
Standing By Their Father
The documentary will delve into the complex emotions of loyalty and family duty. During the sentencing hearing in October, Justin Combs addressed the court directly, pleading for his father to receive a 'second chance'. He described Diddy as a 'superhero' who had changed for the better, stating, 'I believe my father still has so much more to give the world and, more importantly, so much more to give his children.'
The brothers' solidarity was evident even during the festive period. A representative confirmed that Justin spent 90 minutes visiting his father on Christmas Day 2024, where they discussed 'dealing with the hard times' and learning from the past.
This public support echoes a joint statement released by Diddy's six older children—including Quincy Brown, 34, Chance Combs, 19, and twins D'Lila and Jessie Combs, 19—following his incarceration. They decried the 'accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives' on social media, asserting, 'We stand united, supporting you every step of the way... nothing will break the strength of our family.'
Legal Appeals and Lasting Fallout
As the documentary goes into production, Diddy's legal team continues to fight his conviction. Earlier this week, they filed an appeal with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, seeking either his immediate release or a reduced sentence. The appeal argues that Judge Arun Subramanian improperly considered evidence from charges Diddy was acquitted of, which included racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
His lawyers contend the sentence is disproportionately harsh for the prostitution-related convictions, which did not require proof of force or coercion. However, at sentencing, Judge Subramanian cited testimony from former girlfriends, including singer Cassie Ventura, who alleged physical abuse and coercion into sexual encounters with strangers. The judge stated Diddy had 'abused the power and control that you had over the lives of women you professed to love dearly.'
With the documentary not set to air until 2026, the Combs family's story of confronting this very public crisis is poised to remain in the spotlight for years to come. The series promises to reveal the personal cost behind the headlines, framed through the eyes of a father's sons.
