There have been shows in the past that are based on the ‘experiences’ of a real-life celebrity. The experiences are not necessarily real, but for an artist whose imagination is too strong for their own good, they might have an encounter in their head and it might appear real. Something similar seems to be happening in The Vince Staples Show, where real-life rapper Vince has some odd experiences as he tries to navigate his personal and professional life. It’s like Louie, but a little dull, and Vince doesn’t yet have those stories from his real life that can be sublimated to get weird half-hour episodes.
It’s evident from the very first episode that Vince will not ‘act’. That is for other performers to do. He will simply ‘be’. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but then the scenario has to be molded in such a way...

Rapper Vince Staples plays a semi-fictionalized version of himself in “The Vince Staples Show,” debuting today on Netflix. The comedy, which skewers celebrity culture and depicts Staples’ surreal adventures, comes after roles in the films “Dope” and “White Boys Can’t Jump” and series like “Insecure” and “Abbott Elementary.”
Your character’s relationship with money is an important theme of the show. Why did you want to explore that?
It’s a big part of what we deem to be celebrity, and it’s extremely subjective. You ask a lot of people who know me personally, and I’m hyper-successful and I’ve made it to the upper echelon. But most people who live in the world don’t know who Vince Staples is. I think that’s a very interesting thing as far as how we perceive success or fame.
Many of the episodes start in reality but take surreal turns.

It’s just another day being Vince Staples. The rapper-actor is making his Netflix debut with his first comedy series, The Vince Staples Show, premiering today. The show follows the Long Beach, California, native through the challenges and surprises of his day-to-day life being sort of rich and kind of famous in his hometown. The five-episode series is equal parts comedy and social commentary on a rapper trying to do his best to navigate the dynamics of business, family, and social status. See what he has to say about it and more in our video interview, above. The 30-year-old has made TV appearances on ABC’s Abbott Elementary and voice acting on Family Guy and American Dad. The first iteration of the show appeared in 2019 on Vevo, YouTube’s music video platform. The short films were used to showcase newly released songs accompanied by storylines that highlighted Staples’ “specific tone...

A quixotic quest for fried chicken in a godawful theme park. A cat-and-mouse chase born from a high school vendetta, set to surf rock and punctuated by Kill Bill sirens. Welcome to The Vince Staples Show, a limited series that puts a fictionalized spin on its eponymous figure, following the Long Beach rapper (now actor and teleplay writer) through weird and sometimes violent dilemmas.
Early looks at The Vince Staples Show sparked comparisons to Atlanta, which felt a little ungenerous — perhaps any vaguely Afro-Surrealist dramedy with acidic barbs towards systemic anti-blackness is doomed to the same comparison. But they’re not without merit, even though Vince Staples doesn’t take the same sudden swerves, a la “Teddy Perkins” — though perhaps it might have, if it had a larger episode count. The limited format makes the show feel like a prelude to something larger; it hits its stride and simply ends.

In one of the best episodes of The Vince Staples Show – a dark Netflix comedy following the fictionalized life of the titular rapper – Vince slowly but surely leverages a bank robbery he’s caught in the crosshairs of to his advantage. Perhaps this quiet doggedness is autobiographical; in reality, Vince Staples has been actively trying to produce his own television show for about eight years, finally getting it over the line with its Feb. 15 premiere.

It’s already been a busy 2024 for Netflix. Out is long time film chief Scott Stuber; in are live sports (sort of), a huge Sundance splash, and 18 Oscar nominations, the most of any individual studio. What does the next 11 months have in store? Answer: a hell of a lot.
Netflix on February 1 released a teaser video for its biggest properties arriving in 2024, including more than 50 new movies and 90 new and returning series. The highlight is “Squid Game 2,” the follow-up season to the South Korean dystopian smash hit that became Netflix’s biggest show of all time.
At the end of Netflix’s mega-tease, we see Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and his new bright-red hair walking through an airport when a mysterious voice on his phone tells him, “You’re going to regret the choice you made.”
“I’m going to find you, no matter what it takes,” he says in return.

A big-budget live-action adaptation of a cult Nickelodeon animated fantasy series, the return of a sports docuseries that transformed the global appeal of Formula 1, a new animated feature written by the incomparable Charlie Kaufman, and another season of a reality dating show that inspires equal parts love and hate on social media are among the standout projects hitting Netflix in February.
Netflix’s big feature release this month is the animated film Orion and the Dark, which debuts Feb. 2. Written by Charlie Kaufman, the celebrated scribe behind Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation, the film is an adaptation of Emma Yarlett’s children’s book about an anxious kid who is scared of the dark.

It’s a weird month on Netflix in February; one that will probably require you to be open-minded about the shows and movies you’re willing to consume on the service.
There are quite a few library TV series arriving this month, for example. If you’re ready to start binge-watching Monk, My Wife and Kids, or acclaimed show Warrior, you’re in luck, as those complete seasons will be available. The Blacklist season 10, Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, Brooklyn Nine-Nine seasons 1-4, and Young Sheldon season 6 will also be hitting the ‘Flix.
In terms of what’s new, there’s a ton of foreign language content and true crime stuff, but original English language stuff will largely be unscripted fare like Love is Blind, which is back for a new season. There are a few bits and bobs on the way outside of that, though. Netflix’s animated movie Orion and the Dark will debut,...

Netflix is ready to debut its scripted comedy featuring rapper Vince Staples.
The Vince Staples Show, which was created by Staples, Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams and EPed by Kenya Barris, will premiere on February 15.
The comedy was first announced in 2022.
Set in Long Beach, CA, the fictional series is loosely inspired by Staples’ life. Here’s the official logline: 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.
The show is executive produced by Staples, Barris (Khalabo Ink Society), Corey Smyth, Edelman (Edelgang), Williams, and William Stefan Smith.
Staples has released four studio albums, Summertime 06, Big Fish Theory, FM! and his self-titled album in July...

Where Vince Staples goes, chaos follows. The first poster for The Vince Staples Show, the Netflix series premiering Feb. 15, features the rapper with a gnarly black eye — and its trailer finds him dodging bullets, greedy family members, and jail time. Still, Staples isn’t even a little fazed by any of it.
“Anything interesting happen?” Andrea Ellsworth’s character asks Staples, who mentally recalls getting stomped out by a mascot, brawls at a cookout, and an impromptu hangout with Rick Ross — downing lemon pepper wings — before responding simply: “Not really.

For its first-ever upfronts presentation, Netflix took a page out of broadcast networks’ traditional playbook and boasted about not just what series it has launching in the coming months, or even through the end of the year, but specifically calling out its fall 2023 slate.
A staple of upfronts week — though not as much lately, first because of the Covid-19 pandemic and now because of the writers strike — has been the unveiling of ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox’s fall lineups. This was done so advertisers knew what they were buying ads against and therefore what demos and audience size it would be most likely to reach by promoting products during those programs.
For Netflix, which doesn’t follow the September-to-May season that broadcast still lives by but now has an ad-supported tier it needs to supply with commercials, to take this approach is potentially a move for the streamer to...

Exclusive: Fox is developing Guards, a comedy created by, starring and executive produced by actor/comedian Nore Davis (Dickinson) with comedy writer Crystal Jenkins attached as writer and EP.
Guards is a single camera, irreverent comedy with heart that follows the exploits of a group of eclectic security guards as they protect an affluent gated community. Davis plays newly hired guard Lance Lemont, an enthusiastic but reserved rule follower who has a strong desire to protect others, even if it’s just with a flashlight. Though he works his colleagues’ nerves, they’re bonded by their contempt for the needy, entitled residents, and a less-than-stellar boss.
Davis and Jenkins executive produce with 3 Arts Entertainment’s Zack Waxenberg and Luke Maxwell.
Davis is a favorite on the standup circuit, with specials on both Comedy Central and Amazon. He most recently completed...
