Vince Staples Updates Fan On Future Of His Netflix Show, Admits He Was Surprised By It’s Success

Vince Staples says that he’s still figuring out the direction he’s going to go in with the future of his Netflix series, The Vince Staples Show, but is excited by the level of success it achieved after it’s first season. He provided the update on the series during an interview with Rolling Stone to promote the release of his new album, Dark Times.

“I’m grateful,” he said. “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. 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. We’re still trying to see what’s going to happen with that. But, looking forward to other opportunities in the medium.”

From there, Staples explained that he was used to the response to his work being more polarizing and was caught off guard this time around. “I don’t really make things that people [enjoy] like that, just to be honest,” he said. “I think I have a niche fan base. I’ve never had an extreme level of success. So, I’m always open to people not liking something or it not [being digested] right. I was honestly surprised by the way that it was received. But, yeah, man, I just feel like this show went very well, and especially for first-time writing, first-time producing, first-time starring in all of these things, I’m grateful for that.”

Vince Staples Recalls Rough Acting Journey Before Releasing Now-Acclaimed Netflix Series

Vince Staples has succeeded a lot in his life. His rap career is one of the best from the West Coast as he is always bringing fun and forward-thinking ideas to the forefront. However, getting to where he is now is no easy task. He would know that more than most people. Which is why in his most recent interview with the legendary Sway, he never seemed phased when it came to the rough patches he overcame to make it in acting. For those who do not know, the Long Beach native recently released his debut show on Netflix called The Vince Staples Show. It has gotten many rave reviews, but Vince Staples acting chops were not always up to snuff.

According to HipHopDX, the multi-talent got very honest and open about his struggles pitching the show, as well as honing his acting skills. “We auditioned probably every other week for three, four years, we didn’t get one call back,” Staples shared. “Everyone s***” on the ideas and were offering to place his music in other productions they were working on instead. On top of the difficulties finding any takers for the series, Staples was not getting favorable feedback on his acting chops.
