Netflix Greenlights a Fourth Season of 'Tires'
Netflix has renewed the Shane Gillis- and Steve Gerben-led workplace comedy "Tires" for Season 4, the streamer announced on August 31. The renewal comes shortly after Season 3 was released on August 13 and recorded the series' highest-ever placement on Netflix's Global Top 10 English TV list, reaching number five the week of August 17, 2026. Netflix Vice President of U.S. Comedy Tracey Pakosta framed the pickup as a recognition of the show's expanding audience.
Cast, Creative Team and Production Backing
"Tires" follows Will, an anxious and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain, and his cousin Shane, who works at the family business. Created by Gillis, Gerben and director John McKeever, the series is filmed at Gerben's father's real tire chain in suburban Pennsylvania. The regular cast also includes Chris O'Connor, Kilah Fox, Stavros Halkias and Thomas Hayden Church. Season 3's guest roster featured Andrew Schulz, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Billy Magnussen, Taylor Misiak, Sofia Hasmik, Bobby Lee, Dan Soder, Rachel Blanchard, Garret Dillahunt, Anjelica Bette Fellini, Matt Walsh, Tommy Pope, Steph Tolev and H. Foley. Executive producers include Gillis, Gerben, McKeever, Brandon James (Rough House), Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick (AGI Entertainment Media & Management) and Becky Astphan.
Audience Reach and the Gillis-McKeever Netflix Deal
Netflix says the first three seasons of "Tires" have together logged "more than 45 million views." The series is the second production from Gillis and McKeever's Dad Sick Productions, following Gillis's Netflix stand-up special "Beautiful Dogs." Earlier in 2026, Gillis and McKeever signed a broader creative partnership with Netflix to develop additional shows and movies, with Gillis set to film two new stand-up specials under the same agreement. The pair's quoted reaction to the renewal was restrained: Gillis said simply, "It's cool to get to make another season of Tires," while McKeever added, "I love this show and everyone who works on it."
Other Developments
Separately, Variety reported that Sean Fennessey, head of content at The Ringer and host of "The Big Picture," has publicly criticized the podcast network's parent company over its partnership with Netflix, calling it "an inherent conflict" and noting that the arrangement "wasn't my decision."
