Vince Staples is set to star in a new comedy series from Kenya Barris at Netflix.
Vince Staples is expanding his footprints in Hollywood as a new scripted comedy series loosely based on his life and career has just received the green light at Netflix. Titled The Vince Staples Show, the fictional series with Kenya Barris at the helm, is said to be linked to Barris' previous multi-million dollar contract with the streamer.
The semi-autobiographical series will fictionalize Staples' rags-to-riches story with a touch of comedy. It will be based in Long Beach, California where Staples and his family moved to in an effort to escape the crime-ridden neighborhood in Compton, California, where he was born.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The rapper released a statement, expressing excitement for the project, saying; “I am excited to partner with Netflix and Kenya Barris on The Vince Staples Show.” Further adding that "This has been something I have been developing for some time, and I am happy it’s coming to fruition.” Netflix's head of comedy Tracey Pakosta has also commented on the project saying; “It’s our mission to work with the best artists in the world.
Joining Barris in an executive producing capacity are Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams. The project will reunite the trio who worked together on rapper Kid Cudi's animated Netflix special Entergalactic. They will also serve as co-showrunners with Barris repping his Khalabo Ink Society. Corey Smyth and Calmatic are also on the producing team with the latter to direct the first two episodes of the series.
