Netflix has reportedly cancelled the highly regarded comedy series “The Vince Staples Show” after two seasons. A report from Deadline confirms that the streaming company is not moving forward with new seasons of the comedy, which was created by and stars real-life rapper Vince Staples, following its second and final season in November 2025.
Netflix Cancels ‘The Vince Staples Show’ After Two Seasons
Although Netflix has garnered plenty of praise from fans for bringing back popular shows, such as “Arrested Development” and “Lucifer,” they have also drawn ire for the way that the company often cancels series with little to no explanation with the likes of “Kaos” standing as a perfect example of that.
It now seems like the streaming giant has brought a similar fate to “The Vince Staples Show.” Created by rapper Staples alongside Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams, the satirical show parodies the life of Staples in a fictionalized version of his home town.
According to Deadline, the end of the series shouldn’t come as a major surprise as it failed to find a sustained audience on Netflix since its premiere in 2024. Netflix’s What We Watched the Second Half of 2025 revealed that “The Vince Staples Show” was only the 1,446th most-viewed television series on the platform.
That included just 1.7 million views following its release on November 6, less than half of the 4.6 million views that the first season managed to attract. It also failed to ever land on the Weekly Top 10 chart despite being a critical success.
Netflix Continues to Move Into New Programming
The news of the cancellation comes after Netflix’s recent high-profile live event, where professional free solo climber Alex Honnold scaled the Taipei 1010 skyscraper in Taiwan. Standing at 1,667 feet tall, it was perhaps one of Honnold’s most spectacular achievements, given that it was performed in front of a large audience and streamed directly to television screens around the world.
Despite the popularity of the broadcast, Honnold has since revealed that he wasn’t paid a huge amount for his impressive feat.
“Actually, if you put it in the context of mainstream sports, it’s an embarrassingly small amount,” Honnold told “The New York Times” in an interview. “You know, Major League Baseball players get like $170 million contracts. Like, someone you haven’t even heard of and that nobody cares about.”
He added that it “might” have been the most he’s ever paid for a climb, though it was still “less than his agent aspired to.”
