Netflix greenlights Season 4 of comedy series Tires

Shane Gillis' single-camera sitcom Tires has been officially renewed for a fourth season on Netflix after its third season hit a series-high #5 spot on the Global Top 10 English TV list.

Netflix confirmed on Aug. 31 that Tires, the workplace comedy co-created by Shane Gillis, John McKeever and Steve Gerben, will return for a fourth season. The renewal follows the show’s strongest performance to date, with Season 3 climbing to #5 on the Global Top 10 English TV list during its first full week after the Aug. 13 release.

The series, which debuted on Netflix in 2024 after an independent acquisition, has amassed more than 45 million cumulative views across its three seasons. The network’s decision aligns with its broader cost-versus-performance strategy, as Tires maintains a modest budget compared with higher-cost titles like Will Ferrell’s Hawk.

The formal greenlight was announced by both Deadline and Variety, confirming that Season 4 will continue the story of Will (Steve Gerben) and Shane (Gillis) as they try to keep Valley Forge Automotive Center afloat. Netflix’s U.S. comedy VP Tracey Pakosta said the show “continues to deliver the unapologetic comedy and authentic point of view” that fans love, and that the top-10 ranking proves the fandom is growing.

Season 3’s climb to #5 on the Global Top 10 English TV list for the week of Aug. 17 2026 marked the highest placement the series has ever achieved. The same week followed the season’s first full week after its Aug. 13 release, underscoring a rapid uptake among Netflix’s English-language audience.

Since its 2024 debut, the three-season run has generated over 45 million views, according to both outlets. In addition, Gillis’ 2023 stand-up special Beautiful Dogs has logged nearly 30 million views, reinforcing his pull as a comedy star and justifying Netflix’s extended partnership that includes two new stand-up specials.

All three seasons of Tires have been filmed in Pennsylvania, a detail highlighted in Netflix’s own “Made in Pennsylvania” feature. Season 3 alone worked with more than 250 local vendors and shot across six towns, including West Chester, Philadelphia, Phoenixville, Oaks, Frazer and Glenside. Real-life auto shops such as Fitzgerald’s Tire & Auto Service in Glenside and Caliber Collision in West Chester served as on-set locations.

The production’s use of electric vehicles and solar-powered trailers, as well as its partnership with local businesses like Arnold’s Family Fun Center and the West Chester restaurant 9 Prime, illustrates a sustainable, community-focused model that benefits regional economies. While the series is set in the fictional Valley Forge Automotive Center, its Pennsylvania roots have generated jobs and exposure for small-town vendors, a pattern that mirrors how Los Angeles-based productions can boost local commerce.

The renewal also means continued employment for the core creative team, Gillis, Gerben, McKeever and a rotating cast that includes Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, Stavros Halkias and Thomas Haden Church, along with the series’ executive producers and crew. For Los Angeles audiences, the news signals more of the unapologetic, blue-collar humor that has resonated with Netflix’s broader subscriber base, and it adds another reliable comedy property to the platform’s lineup alongside higher-budget titles.

Tires’ renewal matters for Los Angeles because it adds a proven, cost-efficient comedy to Netflix’s catalog, reinforcing the platform’s ability to deliver fresh, relatable humor without the massive budgets that dominate the market. The show’s success also highlights how regional production hubs can generate strong viewership, a model LA studios may look to replicate as they balance high-profile blockbusters with smaller, audience-driven series.
