Vince Staples’ Netflix series, The Vince Staples Show, is set to return for a highly anticipated second season, per Pitchfork. “The Vince Staples Show is back!” Staples announced enthusiastically to Tudum.com. “The people have spoken and the most riveting, captivating, and polarizing show on Netflix is returning for Season 2. Get ready for hijinks that only a mother can love. Thank you, Netflix!”
Staples, ever the charismatic creator, hinted at the limitless possibilities for the upcoming season. “There are 365 days in a year, so we’re able to have 365 episodes of this thing because they’re all based on what it’s like to just exist day-to-day,” he said. “Next for Vince is literally anything because anything could happen at any moment, that’s just how life works.”
Created by Staples alongside Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams, The Vince Staples Show features the rapper as a fictionalized version of himself. Staples not only stars in the series but also serves as one of its executive producers. The show’s first season, consisting of five episodes, premiered in February and received significant attention for its unique storytelling and humor. While the release date for the second season has not yet been announced, anticipation is already building among fans.
The renewal announcement follows closely on the heels of the release of Staples' latest album, Dark Times, which debuted last week. The album has already garnered acclaim, notably from Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea. Over the weekend, Flea took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his admiration for Staples' new LP, writing, “new vince staples so deep and good.”
Flea's Praise and Vince's New Album
Flea’s endorsement carries significant weight, given his status as a revered musician and a long-time Hip Hop enthusiast. In a 2016 episode of Amoeba Records’ What’s in My Bag, Flea spoke about the profound influence of the late J Dilla on his musical journey. He became visibly emotional while discussing how deeply Dilla’s work had touched him, particularly recalling a moment in Big Sur where he found himself overwhelmed by the power of Dilla’s Ruff Draft.

Staples' new album, Dark Times, represents both a conclusion and a fresh start for the Long Beach rapper. This 13-track, 35-minute project is his last under Def Jam, the label that has been his home for over a decade. The album features production from notable names such as Cardo, Jay Versace, and J.LBS, and includes guest vocals from artists like Baby Rose and Kilo Kish.
One standout track on the album sees Staples paying homage to Below the Heavens, the acclaimed collaboration between fellow West Coast natives Blu and Exile. Staples credits this album with broadening his musical horizons and shaping his growth as both a fan and a practitioner of rap.
With the buzz surrounding both his Netflix series and his new album, Vince Staples continues to be a dynamic force in both the music and entertainment industries. Fans eagerly await the next chapter of The Vince Staples Show and the continuing evolution of his musical career.
