Today, Netflix announced the season two renewal of Tires, the upcoming scripted comedy from comedian Shane Gillis, ahead of its series premiere this Thursday, May 23. Tires will return with an all-new second season next year.
This news marks the latest in Netflix’s expanding partnership with Gillis. Gillis most recently performed three sold-out shows as part of “Netflix is a Joke Fest” in Los Angeles, including the Kia Forum, the Greek Theater, and Crypto Arena.
As previously announced, Netflix has also ordered a new standup special from Gillis to premiere in 2025. His 2023 special, Beautiful Dogs, reached the Netflix Top 10 in five countries and spent two weeks in the US Top 10 list.
In Tires, Will (Steve Gerben), the nervous and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain, attempts to turn his father’s business around despite constant torture from his cousin and now employee, Shane (Shane Gillis).
Shane Gillis, Steve Gerben, and McKeever created and wrote the series. McKeever also directs it.
The executive producers include Gillis, Gerben, and McKeever; Brandon James for Rough House; Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick for AGI Entertainment Media & Management; and Becky Astphan.
The cast of the Netflix series includes Shane Gillis, Steve Gerben, Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, and Stavros Halkias. Andrew Schulz is a guest star.
Tires is the second production from Gillis and McKeever’s production company, Dad Sick Productions, following Shane’s stand-up special Beautiful Dogs.
