Shane Gillis’ workplace comedy, “Tires,” has emerged as a surprising hit on Netflix, capturing the audience’s attention with its portrayal of the misfit employees at the Valley Forge Automotive Center. The show, co-created by Gillis alongside John McKeever and Steve Gerben, features characters like the cynical Shane and his well-meaning cousin Will, resonating with viewers for its humor that straddles the line of discomfort.
Interestingly, before Netflix came aboard, Gillis took the initiative to fund the show’s six-episode first season, which has proven to be a wise investment for the streaming platform. Renewed for a second season even before the first had premiered in early 2024, “Tires” reflects an appetite for comedic content that evokes both laughter and awkwardness. This follows in the footsteps of popular shows like “The Office,” where discomfort contributes to the comedy’s charm.
Currently, there has been no announcement regarding a third season for “Tires.” However, this is typical for Netflix shows, which often take time to confirm renewals. Viewers can expect updates by mid-July to August, so in the meantime, diving into Season 2 is encouraged, as Netflix closely monitors viewership trends.
The second season culminates dramatically, with Shane attempting to prevent his father, Phil, portrayed by Thomas Haden Church, from selling the family business. The finale leaves fans eagerly anticipating what a possible third season could bring, with a return of the beloved cast likely guaranteed.
Potential timelines for a third season suggest it might not air until 2026, as Gillis is currently engaged in filming a movie and touring for his stand-up. Production is also contingent on the availability of the cast to reunite in Pennsylvania for filming.
Despite the waiting period, the positive takeaway is the rapid turnaround of a more extensive second season indicating the team’s commitment and ability to deliver engaging content quickly. With both seasons of “Tires” available now on Netflix, viewers have plenty to enjoy while they await news about the future of the series.
