Shane Gillis Comedy ‘Tires’ Greenlit For A Third Season At Netflix

Less than one month after the second season premiere of the comedy Tires with Shane Gillis comes word of a third season renewal at Netflix.

Set at an auto repair shop, Tires was first conceived as a pilot concept that Gillis posted on YouTube. Netflix acquired the series as part of a deal that included Gillis getting another stand up special at the streaming services.

Tires follows Will (Steve Gerben), an unqualified heir, who attempts to turn his West Chester, Pennsylvania auto repair business around despite the ongoing attempts of his obnoxious cousin Shane (Gillis) to derail him.

Gillis self-financed the first six-episode season of Tires, which dropped in May 2024 and was also created by Steve Gerben and John McKeever. Twelve episodes were produced in season two, with the number of episodes for the upcoming third season in 2026 not confirmed at press time.

The cast of Tires also includes Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, and Stavros Halkias.

The ultimate success of Tires comes shortly after NBC’s inability to build interest in the similar appear comedy American Auto, which aired from 2021 to 2023 and followed the offbeat executives and employees of a major automobile company in Detroit. Decades earlier, effective in September 1974, NBC, in contrast, struck immediate ratings gold care of Chico and the Man, which was also set at a garage and starred Jack Albertson and initially comedian Freddie Prinze. After the untimely passing of Prinze in January 1977, the sitcom limped along for one final season without him.
