Netflix is undeniably one of the most popular online streaming platforms that is home to some of the best movies, TV shows, and documentaries. While most subscribers are eagerly waiting for their favorite shows to return, Netflix is giving us another reason to get excited. Recently, Netflix announced their newest comedy series: “The Vince Staples Show” that is set to premiere on February 15. The show is produced by Kenya Barris, and Long Beach recording artist Vince Staples is the star of the show. Keep reading to find out why you should be excited about this new show.
Based on the two-episode original series released in 2019 – watch it here – directed by House Party director Calmatic and featuring Ray J and Buddy as cameos, “The Vince Staples Show” is set in Long Beach, California, and loosely inspired by the life of Staples. The show’s trailer dropped recently, and it promises to be epic with a decent mix of comedy and action. The 30-year-old rapper promised fans that the show would be hilarious. The official synopsis reads:
“Who’s Vince Staples? Well, that’s a tricky question. He’s kind of famous, but he’s not. He’s kind of rich, but he’s not. He’s also kind of a criminal. But he’s…not? Follow him on his daily adventures, where anything that can go wrong usually does.”
We can’t wait to see Vince Staples take us on his daily adventures in his hometown of Long Beach. The trailer alone was enough to get us hyped, and we can’t wait to see what the show has in store for us.
The new scripted comedy series was originally announced in September 2022. In his interview with Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller on Rap Radar, Vince revealed that making the show was a fun experience. He also shared more about the creative process they went through to bring the show to life.
According to Tracey Pakosta, Netflix Head of Comedy, they’re excited to work with Staples and his unique comedy. “It’s our mission to work with the best artists in the world,” she said. With Staples’ already impressive career as a rapper and his previous experience as an actor (with a cameo in his show’s original pilot), we have no doubt that he’ll bring his A-game to this series.
Overall, “The Vince Staples Show” is definitely one of those rare shows that we can’t wait to binge-watch when it finally drops on February 15. The show has all the elements of comedy, action, and drama, which will keep us glued to the screen. It’s also exciting to see Netflix team up with Kenya Barris and Vince Staples as they work on bringing us this hilarious show. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we get to see Vince Staples on his daily adventures.
