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.

Exclusive: David Meese, a scripted TV agent at WME who represents the likes of Tom Segura, Joel Kim Booster, Deon Cole and Emily Heller, has been promoted to partner at the agency.
Meese was surprised by his 5-year old twin daughters with the news during a staff meeting.
It comes almost six years after he joined WME from APA, where he spent nearly ten years.
He told Deadline that he expects there to be a comedy “boom” in the coming years. “People are realizing comedy is evergreen and people want to laugh, especially in times of trying and I think it’s all cyclical. It’s going to be coming back and have a big boom over the next couple of years,” he said.
He predicted buyers will lean more towards comedy, which is inherently cheaper to produce than drama as they get “more bang for their buck”.

After hearing early demos from Kid Cudi, director Fletcher Moules knew he could connect with the vision of bringing a visual album to life through animation. Serving as an animated companion piece to Kid Cudi’s album of the same name, Entergalactic follows street artist Jabari (Cudi) as he is on the cusp of bringing his art to life in comics. His life changes when he falls for his neighbor Meadow (Jessica Williams), a photographer about to stage an exhibition. It was important for Moules that this special be a character-driven concept album, rather than one long music video, so the story and animation style were essential to get right.
‘Entergalactic’
Deadline: Where did the concept for Entergalactic come from?
Fletcher Moules: [Kid] Cudi had the idea. “Entergalactic” was the name of one of his songs from many years ago on an early album, and he wanted to visualize his music.

On Sept. 30, musician and actor Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi dropped two big projects that shared a single title: Entergalactic. His eighth studio album and a corresponding Netflix animated special — originally conceived as a TV series with producer Kenya Barris, then redeveloped as a 90-minute feature told in chapters — Mescudi’s Entergalactic is an ambitious cross-platform project, blending music and a narrative arc to tell the story of a New York-based artist named Jabari (voiced by Mescudi) who is on the verge of finding creative success. But after a meet-cute with his photographer neighbor Meadow (Jessica Williams), Jabari must decide if he can make room in his life for a romantic relationship.

“I’m always trying to do something new,” says Mescudi, who began the project by writing the music before imagining how a story inspired by his songs would unfold.

Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s “Entergalactic,” the rapper’s sprawling Netflix special that accompanies his eighth studio album of the same name, is proof that the multihyphenate can “do what he wants.”
The otherworldly animated Netflix special is an immersion into a New York City that drips with milky way hues, tactile textures, wavy synths and the adrenaline rush that comes with experiencing ardent young love. A passion project and labor of love from the artist, who invited many of his real-life friends to lend their voices to the show, “Entergalactic” took several years to make, initially conceptualized as a season-long series with six to eight installments and only one animated episode.
“For a while, I had been sitting on this idea of wanting to do an anthology [where] each season would have a certain theme,” Mescudi told TheWrap. “This first season that I was developing in my mind, the theme was love.

From the beginning, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi has approached his career as an artist who would sooner toil in obscurity than be renowned for just one thing. Just two years after dropping “A Kid Named Cudi,” the mixtape that launched him into the spotlight, he was cast in “How to Make It in America,” a short-lived HBO-originals deep cut. In the decade since that show ended in 2011, he’s earned a reputation for bouncing willy-nilly between genres, mediums, and disciplines, and the choices that once seemed fickle now seem confidently eclectic.
Never has Mescudi looked more like a polymath than with the debut of “Entergalactic,” an animated Netflix special timed to the release of his new studio album (also dropping on Sept. 30), which bears the same title. “Entergalactic” was initially announced in 2019 as a series to be created by Mescudi and Kenya Barris, but has since been whittled down to...
