Netflix has renewed The Vince Staples Show for a second season.

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.

It’s executive produced by Staples, Kenya Barris (Khalabo Ink Society), Corey Smyth, Edelman (Edelgang), Williams, and William Stefan Smith.

The comedy was first announced in 2022.

“The Vince Staples Show is back!” Staples said. “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!”

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.

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.

ABC's "Abbott Elementary" follows a group of passionate (and eccentric) teachers at the titular fictional Philadelphia school as they forge friendships and help one another meet the challenges of working in an underfunded district. While the award-winning, breakout workplace comedy deftly highlights real issues that exist within the US public education system, there's also tons of humor and heart. For instance, there's that slow-burn romance between optimistic second-grade teacher Janine (Quinta Brunson) and newly elected full-time teacher, Gregory (Tyler James Williams). It's one plotline fans have been following with bated breath since the very beginning, and the season two finale, which premiered April 19, gave the duo another milestone - still without them officially getting together.

Every time a spark of their undeniable chemistry flies on screen, we can't help but wonder if these two will finally give in to their feelings (or continue to awkwardly avoid their obvious connection). So,...

A term I hear a lot to describe slick, antic-driven movies with airy narratives is “fun.” (I’ve used it, too, about smooth-brain films I realize after a few days I didn’t really like but had to say something about.) We praise these films for serviceable visuals, steady direction and a handful of star performances. We forgive the plot holes and ignore the jarring tonal shifts. As these movies swerve from one farcical situation to another, we’re sometimes nagged by a creeping ambivalence. But we shrug it off once we remember the few times we laughed. “Fun” counts for something. Right?

Yes, but also no. Emma Seligman’s Bottoms is the most recent case in point. To me, real fun — ephemeral, subjective — often entails leaning into a lot of un-fun things: earnestness, character development and even restraint in service of a broader purpose. It’s work I don...

On the heels of the Abbott Elementary mid-season premiere, star Lisa Ann Walter recently teased a major romance in season 2. The popular 30-minute mockumentary-style sitcom centers on Janine Teagues (Qunita Brunson), a passionate, overly optimistic second-grade teacher who works with an eclectic group of colleagues as they attempt to provide the best schooling in an overcrowded and underfunded Philadelphia public school. Season 1 saw first-grade substitute teacher, Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams), join the faculty and catch the eye of Janine as a possible romantic interest.

Deadline recently caught up with Walter, who teased a possible romance for Abbott Elementary season 2. The actor, who stars as spirited second-grade teacher Melissa Schemmenti, believes that viewers will be "happy" at the several "romantic moves" that will occur in the season, hinting at a significant episode covering the romance. Read Walter's full quote below:

Well, I mean, everybody wants to know obviously about the romance.

A review of the Atlanta series finale, “It Was All a Dream,” coming up just as soon as I tell you how many seasons of Homeboys in Outer Space there were…

The thing about Atlanta is that the series is so fluid, and so unpredictable in terms of subject and tone, that it could have ended in almost any way, and it probably would have felt appropriate on some level. Could have been something dark, something silly, something thoughtful. Could have focused on any of the regular characters, or even...

Not only does the Flash have his own version of the muscle-bound behemoth Bane, but Barry's is downright horrifying. The Flash #33 reveals one rogue that took the Venom-enhanced villain to a terrifying new level.

When it comes to villains, the Flash has some pretty innovative ones. For example, the Rogues are able to keep Barry Allen on his toes with nothing but a few pieces of specialized weaponry like cold guns or weather wands. The Reverse-Flash has matched Barry's speed and his psychopathic behavior makes him a force to be reckoned with. Even the Flash villain Gorilla Grodd has challenged Barry with deadly mind games and intense savagery. One would think that someone as fast as the Flash could easily dispatch his enemies, but every villain brings something unique with them that allows them to challenge the Fastest Man Alive.
