Vince Staples’s new Netflix limited series premiered today (February 15). The 30-year-old rapper/actor took the reigns of the comedy for the global streaming giant.
“Who’s Vince Staples? Well, that’s a tricky question,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “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.”
The Vince Staples Show also stars Vanessa Bell Calloway and Andrea Ellsworth. Guest appearances from Naté Jones, Arturo Castro, Scott MacArthur, Bryan Greenberg and Myles Bullock make up the cast too.
Kenya Barris, Ian Edelman, Maurice Williams, Corey Smyth, and William Stefan Smith executive-produced the show. Staples is credited as a co-creator.

“I am excited to partner with Netflix and Kenya Barris on The Vince Staples Show,” the West Coaster stated about his eponymous series in 2022. “This has been something I have been developing for some time and I am happy it’s coming to fruition.”
In addition to leading his five-episode program on Netflix, Vince Staples released several albums, including 2022’s Ramona Park Broke My Heart, throughout his entertainment career.
Staples also acted in motion pictures such as Dope and White Men Can’t Jump. The Motown Records-signed artist had a recurring role on the ABC sitcom Abbott Elementary as well.
