Netflix has confirmed that workplace comedy Tires will return for a fourth season, handing fans of Shane Gillis’s auto-repair sitcom the news they were hoping for.
Tires follows Will (Steve Gerben), the nervous and unqualified heir to an auto-repair chain, as he tries to turn his father’s business around despite constant torment from his cousin and now employee, Shane (Gillis).
The show’s third season became its biggest yet since dropping on 13 August, having climbed to number 5 on Netflix’s Global Top 10 English TV list in its first full week with 13.8 million hours viewed.
Seasons 1 to 3 have amassed a cumulative total of more than 45 million views, with the fanbase expanding year on year according to Netflix‘s own Tracey Pakosta, VP of US comedy.
She said: “Tires continues to deliver the unapologetic comedy and authentic point of view Shane, John and Steve’s fans know and love, and season 3 hitting its highest-ever Top 10 ranking proves this fandom just keeps growing.

“We love working with this team and can’t wait to see what’s next for the Valley Forge crew in season 4.”
Netflix struck an overall deal with Gillis and Tires co-creator John McKeever in January, meaning this won’t be the last we see of him on the streaming platform.
As part of the agreement, Gillis is also set to film two new stand-up specials, following his 2023 special Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs, which has racked up close to 30 million views.
Both creatives gave only brief reactions to the Tires renewal.
“It’s cool to get to make another season of Tires,” commented Gillis, with McKeever adding “I love this show and everyone who works on it – excited to make more”.
Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, Stavros Halkias and Thomas Haden Church also feature in the cast of Tires, which began life as an independently financed first season that Netflix simply acquired.
Since then, it has grown into a key pillar of its comedy line-up, proving that eye-watering budgets and A-list stars aren’t the only things that will get audiences to tune in.
All three seasons have been filmed in Pennsylvania, with the series coming from Gillis and McKeever’s production company, Dad Sick Productions. Netflix has not yet confirmed a release date for Tires season 4.
Tires seasons 1-3 are available to watch on Netflix, with season 4 coming soon. You can sign up to Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky TV and Virgin Media.
