‘Tires' Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix
Hope you're not getting tired of Tires, because there's more on the way. (Also, you should not be — Tires season two was great.) Netflix has renewed Tires for a third season, which will debut in 2026. Tires hails from comedian Shane Gillis, its breakout star (for my money) Steve Gerben and the director (John) McKeever. More from The Hollywood Reporter Netflix to Add NASA+ as It Launches Into Live Streaming Feeds 'Squid Game' Creator Weighs in on American Spinoff Reports and Explains That Surprise Cameo Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest Fall in Love Abroad in 'My Oxford Year' Trailer In Tires, Will (Gerben), the 'nervous and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain,' attempts to turn his father's tire-shop business around 'despite constant torture from his cousin,' Shane (Gillis), the synopsis reads. Shane is also Will's employee. In season two, after the success of Will's and Shane's big marketing idea — to sell tires to their customers at cost (and upsell them on other repair services) — the two 'rush to grow personally and professionally without fully realizing the cost of doing business,' per Netflix. Per me, they don't really grow personally or professionally, which is part of the show's charm. (OK, so maybe they grow a little.) Gillis, Gerben and McKeever write and executive produce Tires. The other executive producers are Brandon James (for Rough House, which is Danny McBride's production company), Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick (AGI Entertainment Media & Management), and Becky Astphan. In addition to Gillis and Gerben, Tires also stars Chris O'Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias; guest stars include Andrew Schulz, Vince Vaughn, Thomas Haden Church, Ron White, Jon Lovitz, Veronika Slowikowska and Steph Tolev. Tires is the second production from Gillis and McKeever's production company, Dad Sick Productions, following Gillis' stand-up special Beautiful Dogs. Fun fact: Tires films in Westchester, Pennsylvania, directly next door to Gerben's (real) dad's (real) tire shop, Tires, Etc. The former carpet warehouse was already outfitted with car lifts — that Tires, Etc. location (Mr. Gerben owns several) was going to expand — and Gillis paid out of pocket to build out the rest of the set.
