The Vince Staples Show is coming back.
The show’s second season is set to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, November 6, with six full episodes. The first season, which dropped in February 2024, saw Vince Staples play a fictional version of himself, navigating a relationship, handling generational trauma, bank robbery situations, and of course, industry games. The season 1 finale saw Staples’ character in a cat-and-mouse game with a former classmate, that ended in tragedy.
It appears the second season will pick up right where the first left off.
“In the wake of a tragic death, Vince embarks on a wild journey in search of inner peace. However, his path is littered with reminders of his haunted past,” reads a logline for the upcoming season.
Ahead of the show’s second season premiere, Netflix shared some first-look images to its official Instagram account. In the photos, Staples’ character is seen with his mother — who is played by Vanessa Bell Calloway – and his sister Bri (Naté Jones) in a convenience store at night. Another shot sees the three of them driving in a car. One image sees Staples’ character at the end of a dinner table, at some sort of university.
Upon its premiere last year, The Vince Staples Show received much acclaim for its surrealist storytelling and dark humor. In a May 2024 interview with Rolling Stone ahead of his final Def Jam album Dark Times, Staples expressed gratitude for the positive reception and the opportunity to create this show.
“I got to do something that isn’t really done on that network or just done in general, with trying to break format and conventional comedy,” Staples said at the time. “I’m just trying some new things. So, I’m very happy that people embraced it and we’ll see how they feel about it moving forward.”
