Hulu is diving headfirst into one of the biggest celebrity court cases in recent memory with its new real-time reenactment docuseries, Diddy on Trial: As It Happened, which premiered Sunday, May 25.
The series gives a dramatic and unfiltered front-row seat to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing federal trial, mixing weekly reenactments with expert legal commentary and cultural analysis. Each Sunday, viewers can stream new episodes recreating the week’s most intense courtroom exchanges.
Actor Layne Harper steps into the role of Combs, bringing to life the bombshell testimonies and tense legal drama pulled straight from real transcripts. From shocking revelations to emotional breakdowns, nothing is off limits.
The series is hosted by The View’s Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor who’s no stranger to complex legal battles. She leads a rotating panel of legal minds and pop culture voices, including Touré, as they dissect each episode, analyze key moments, and question what it all means in the court of law and public opinion.
Prosecutors allege Combs ran a dark criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking, racketeering, and forced labor, claims the music mogul has vehemently denied. Already, testimony has come in from Cassie Ventura, her mother, Kid Cudi, and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard. And that’s just the beginning.
Hostin has raised concerns about the case’s “heavily male jury,” expressing skepticism about how testimony, especially involving alleged sexual grooming, may be received.
The trial, which kicked off with opening arguments on May 12 in New York, is expected to last at least eight weeks, and Diddy on Trial will be with us every step of the way.
From the salacious “freak-off” party descriptions to the legal stakes that could land Combs behind bars for life, this series is designed to keep the public informed.
With reenactments, expert insights, and a cultural lens on one of the most high-profile celebrity trials of the decade, Diddy on Trial: As It Happened is part true crime drama, part courtroom thriller, and entirely unmissable.
Stream new episodes every Sunday on Hulu.
