Netflix Orders Fourth Season of Shane Gillis' Auto-Shop Comedy
Netflix has formally renewed the single-camera workplace comedy 'Tires' for a fourth season, following an overall deal with co-creators Shane Gillis and John McKeever. The show's third season recently hit its best-ever position on Netflix's Global Top 10 English TV list, reaching number five in the week of August 17, 2026. The series, which began as an independently financed low-budget production, has maintained a modest cost structure that aligns with Netflix's renewal criteria.
The renewal arrives through the overall deal Netflix signed with Gillis and McKeever in January, though the pickup was only formally confirmed now. The show's third season, released August 13, 2026, climbed to number five on Netflix's Global Top 10 English TV chart during its first full week—the series' strongest performance to date.
Tires originated as a self-financed first season produced on a deliberately lean budget, which Netflix later acquired. That frugal production approach has continued through subsequent seasons, a factor that carries significant weight at Netflix, where renewal decisions hinge on the balance between what a show costs and how it performs. The modest financial framework has made the series an attractive proposition for the streamer from the outset.
The renewal signals that mid-tier, cost-efficient comedy can still thrive on major streaming platforms, potentially encouraging more creators to pursue independently financed productions as a path to distribution. For audiences, it may mean continued access to working-class workplace humor that differs from glossy, big-budget fare. The show's performance could also reinforce Netflix's willingness to back lower-cost originals that deliver consistent viewership, shaping what kinds of series get greenlit in the future.
