He won over critics thanks to a concentration of sharp irony and visionary style, but now Vince Staples is ready to return to Netflix with the second season of “The Vince Staples Show”. The series does not hide its autobiographical streak, staged with satire and surreal moments; and continues to tell the story of the Long Beach rapper’s life with an unmistakable caustic tone and an unconventional narrative approach.
The Vince Staples Show 2: the plot
If the first season showed Vince dealing with the absurdities of the daily life of an “almost famous” celebrity, the second season changes tone and aims straight at the heart: a family bereavement touches and upsets the protagonist’s certainties, forcing him to confront pain, memory and the very meaning of success. Once again reality mixes with fantasy in a story made up of apparently unrelated episodes but united by an invisible thread: the search for identity in a world that observes, judges and misunderstands.
There is no shortage of paradoxical situations, typical of the series, moments of black humor and not even a bit of tension: “The Vince Staples Show” thus continues to reflect on the condition of the contemporary artist, obliged to keep authenticity and representation in balance.

In addition to the protagonist Vince Staples, Vanessa Bell Calloway returns in the role of the mother and some recurring faces from the first chapter. Among the new entries stand out Zack Fox and other special guests still kept secret. Behind the scenes, the second season is enriched by the presence of Riley Stearns as director, while the creative team expands with three showrunners: Leonard Chang, Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams.
The Vince Staples Show 2: when it comes out on Netflix
The second season of “The Vince Staples Show” lands on Netflix on November 6, 2025, almost two years after the first, dated February 2024. Filming took place between January and April 2025, this time not in California but in British Columbia (Canada), a choice that gives the series a colder and more mysterious atmosphere, probably in line with the more introspective tone of the new season.
