Shane Gillis Comedy ‘Tires' Greenlit For A Third Season At Netflix
Less than one month after the second season premiere of 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.

Lifting spirits: Meet the 71-year-old ‘Gym Granny' who proves it's never too late
TikTok influencer 'The Gym Granny' defies age and gender norms, starting her fitness journey at 69. On her popular page, she shares fitness tips, healthy eating, and daily motivation with her followers. The retired comedian also encourages others to get started on their goals, preaching the benefits of weightlifting for older people. While most women tend to avoid heavy lifting because of the misconception that weightlifting will leave them buff and manly looking, one extraordinary woman has shattered this misconception, striding confidently into the traditionally male-dominated gym scene with courage and conviction. The woman, a retired comedian named Sally, has amassed thousands of followers on social media, and she frequently leaves people marvelling over her impressive gym prowess. What's even more remarkable to most is that her journey started at the age of 69. Known as 'The Gym Granny,' she opened up about how she decided to regain her health. In her most popular TikTok video, the almost 72-year-old explained, 'I pulled myself off the couch 20 months ago. I was exhausted and out of shape. I joined a gym and hired a trainer.' She continues, 'My entire life has changed. Transformation is possible. Commit and stay consistent.' Practising what she preaches, Gym Granny shares daily updates on her journey, offering tips for lifting safely, having proper form and how she stays motivated. And her story isn't just about lifting weights—it's a comprehensive lifestyle overhaul— like many gym bunnies, Gym Granny also watches what she eats. A day of eating for her typically includes eggs and veggies like sweet potato and chicken. She also likes to snack on Greek yoghurt and fruits like blueberries and apples. The 71-year-old also drinks protein shakes to supplement her protein intake. She passionately advocates for diet changes, saying, 'Diet is everything! It is necessary to change your diet. Once you do, you'll see how you've been damaging yourself. Within weeks [of making healthier choices], you will feel so much better.' But her greatest message is that age is just a number. In another post showcasing her strength and flexibility, she shares uplifting words for anyone hesitant to embark on their fitness journey: 'This is 71; age does not define you. Try something new. Reinvent yourself. What have you always wanted to do? Do it today. Generate your own fantastic mood. It's in your power. You don't need to wait for anyone but you.'

Lana Del Rey's Career-Defining Single Reaches A New Peak
Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" reenters the Official Streaming chart at No. 75, hitting a new ... More peak as Born to Die surges across U.K. rankings. WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA - NOVEMBER 01: Singer Lana Del Rey attends the Nylon Magazine Celebration of "America The Issue" With Lana Del Rey And Marvin Scott-Jarrett at Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas on November 1, 2013 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo by) Throughout her career, Lana Del Rey has been known more as an albums artist than someone focused on scoring hit singles. The singer-songwriter has charted successful songs before, but unlike other stars in the pop space, her career has not been defined by radio smashes. One tune does rise above the rest as her most popular track. "Summertime Sadness" became something of a breakout smash thanks to a remix by Cedric Gervais, and it's still a hit – occasionally – to this day. The composition always ranks among her most popular, but in the summer months, it experiences something of a surge in consumption. As fans in the United Kingdom revisit the seasonal track, it reaches a special position. "Summertime Sadness" Becomes a Streaming Smash Again "Summertime Sadness" reenters the Official Streaming chart this week, finding its way back to the ranking of the 100 most-played tracks on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and other platforms. The track breaks back in at No. 75. That marks a new high for the song, as Del Rey previously topped out with the cut at No. 77. Cedric Gervais Made "Summertime Sadness" a Hit "Summertime Sadness" was originally released in 2012 from her first major label album, Born to Die. The following year, the Gervais remix made it a surprise hit, but it wasn't until 2022 that Del Rey's version reached the Official Streaming chart. Since then, it has spent 31 weeks somewhere on the ranking, and it may continue as an annual favorite, thanks to an uptick in streams each summer. Born to Die Climbs on Multiple Charts The increase in plays of "Summertime Sadness" helps Born to Die climb on multiple tallies in the U.K. at the same time that the tune returns. The project enjoys huge leaps on lists like the Official Albums Streaming and Official Albums charts, where the introductory collection rockets more than 20 spaces. It's also a bestseller again, as Born to Die finds its way back to the Official Vinyl Albums list at No. 26 and the Official Album Downloads tally at No. 53, while simultaneously returning to the top 40 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings as well.

SQUID GAME Creator Still Torn on Season 3 Finale, but the Cast Says It's a Wild Ride — GeekTyrant
With Squid Game Season 3 marking the end of Netflix's biggest series, fans were met with a conclusion that will no doubt spark conversations. But, the show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, admits he's still wrestling with how he feels about the final moments. He said: 'Even when I was writing season 3, I had to make a big decision at the end of the season. Because it's a finale of the whole series, the whole show. 'That decision was so difficult to make. I'm still thinking whether it's good or not, but the audience, the viewers will see. I cannot spoil that.' That's not exactly a confidence boost, but not all the voices involved are as uncertain. Series lead Lee Jung-jae, who plays Seong Gi-hun, believes Hwang landed exactly where he needed to. 'I thought that director Hwang's decision that he had made, he was very determined, and he knew what he was doing, but I'm sure that he went through a lot of internal debate and struggles.' Lee pointed out the unique challenge of ending a cultural phenomenon like Squid Game , especially with a character as layered as Gi-hun. 'Because, as we all know, it's just a hugely successful series. So when it's a story that big, how do you bring that to closure as director, writer, and creator? And especially for a character like Gi-hun, where do you leave his journey?' He also revealed that Hwang didn't make that call in a vacuum. 'He listened to a lot of other people's ideas as well. We would have discussions among ourselves, among the cast. He would also discuss it with me and the crew as well. 'But I believe that director Hwang came up with the most adequate, the most unpredictable, the most meaningful, and the most intriguing and entertaining ending possible. 'So personally, I am very happy with the finale, and you all are going to be able to see where it all ends soon, but I can guarantee you it's not going to be what you think.' And then there's Lee Byung-hun, who plays the mysterious Front Man, adding: 'Director Hwang keeps saying it's a finale, but when I first read it, I felt it could be a finale, [but] at the same time, it could be a new start. I'm not sure about that, it's my personal opinion, but if the audience's love and support increases, we never know what happens.' Whether it's truly the end or just the beginning of something else, Squid Game Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix. If you watched it, what did you think about the end?
