Vince Staples is bringing more chaos and charisma back to Netflix as his semi-autobiographical comedy series returns for a second season on November 6 with a darker tone and a fresh trailer to match.
The streaming platform confirmed the premiere date earlier this week, teasing a new chapter of The Vince Staples Show that explores grief, identity and the lingering weight of past mistakes.
The show, set in Long Beach, where Staples grew up, uses absurdist humor and sharp storytelling to reflect the rapper’s real-life experiences.
Season 2 picks up after a devastating loss sends Vince on a chaotic search for peace. But as he tries to move forward, the past keeps pulling him back into old patterns.
The series was created by Staples along with Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams.
Returning cast members include Vanessa Bell Calloway and Naté Jones, while comedian Zack Fox joins the lineup as a guest star this season.
Staples, who built his name in Hip-Hop with albums like Summertime ’06, Big Fish Theory and FM!, has long spoken about the violence and trauma he witnessed growing up in Long Beach.
He once described a summer in Ramona Park as “white-hot,” a time when he lost several friends to street violence before he was even old enough to drive.
That honesty has carried over into his acting. The Vince Staples Show, which debuted in February 2024, quickly drew attention for its mix of surreal comedy and social commentary.
Netflix dropped the trailer alongside the release date, offering a glimpse at the more intense tone.
While still laced with Staples’ dry wit, the upcoming season hints at heavier themes and personal reckoning.
Season 2 of The Vince Staples Show premieres November 6 on Netflix.
