Netflix Drops 'Tires' Season 3 Trailer as Shane Gillis' Star Skyrockets

Shonda Rhimes

Prolific television creator ("Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal") and author on creativity and empowerment.

In a rapid ascent in the entertainment world, comedian Shane Gillis is making headlines once again as Netflix releases the preview for the third installment of his acclaimed series, 'Tires.' This announcement closely follows Gillis's remarkable achievement of breaking two Guinness World Records for his stand-up comedy performance, underscoring his growing influence and popularity. The new season promises more comedic mishaps and personal challenges as Gillis's character delves deeper into the intricacies of family business and strained relationships.

Just a week prior to the trailer's debut, on July 17, Shane Gillis solidified his place in comedy history by drawing an unprecedented audience of 73,946, with 77,047 tickets sold, at his Lincoln Financial Field show. This monumental event earned him two distinct Guinness World Records for attendance at a live stand-up comedy spectacle. His involvement in 'Tires' extends beyond acting; he serves as a co-star and executive producer alongside John McKeever, further cementing his creative control and vision for the project.

The third season of 'Tires' focuses on Shane's character and his cousin, Will (portrayed by Steve Gerben), as they assume co-ownership of the West Chester, Pennsylvania branch of their family's struggling automotive repair enterprise, Valley Forge. As they endeavor to keep the business operational, their personal bond faces significant trials, compelling them to reflect on their past experiences to forge a path forward. The series is authentically filmed near one of Gerben’s father’s actual tire establishments, with Gillis himself investing in and developing the adjacent property, transforming a Pennsylvania strip mall into a working set for the production.

Beyond Gillis, McKeever, and Gerben, who also contributes as a co-creator, the ensemble cast features notable talents such as Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church, Chris O’Dowd, Kilah Fox, and Stavros Halkias. The recently released trailer offers a glimpse into the show's humor, depicting the cousins engaging in witty banter, particularly regarding their romantic lives, and highlighting Shane's visible discomfort in a more formal collared shirt. Thomas Haden Church reprises his role as Shane's father, who emphatically demands that the cousins unify their efforts to prevent the Valley Forge branch from succumbing to failure.

This workplace comedy, which initially premiered in 2024 with a six-episode run, expanded its episode count to twelve for its second season, coinciding with Gillis's escalating fame. Netflix has confirmed that the upcoming third season will also feature twelve episodes and is scheduled for release on August 12. 'Tires' represents the second significant project from Dad Sick Productions, the production company founded by Gillis and McKeever, following the success of Shane’s stand-up special, 'Beautiful Dogs.'

The upcoming season of 'Tires' on Netflix promises to further explore the dynamic duo of Shane and Will as they navigate the complexities of their auto repair business and their evolving relationship. With Shane Gillis's burgeoning career in stand-up comedy complementing his role as co-star and executive producer, the series continues to blend humor with the relatable struggles of family, friendship, and entrepreneurial challenges, offering viewers an engaging and authentic comedic experience.
