Will there be Tires season 3? Renewal status explored
Fans are anticipating news of Tires season 3 following the release of its second season on Netflix. The popular comedy series, centered on the employees of the Valley Forge Automotive Center, debuted with six episodes on May 23, 2024. It returned for its second season, comprising 12 episodes, on June 5, 2025.
Tires is created and written by Shane Gillis, John McKeever, and Steve Gerben. McKeever also serves as the show's director, while Michael Amodio and Melissa Demino serve as its producers. Among its executive producers are Brandon James for Rough House, Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick for AGI Entertainment Media & Management, and Becky Astphan.
The show's official synopsis, as per Netflix, reads:
"Auto repair shop antics keep a hapless but optimistic manager and his unserious crew of mechanics from boosting sales in this raunchy workplace comedy."
Despite the show's popularity, Netflix has not greenlit Tires season 3 as of this writing.

Why will Tires season 3 likely be renewed?
While Tires season 3 has not been confirmed yet, Netflix will most likely greenlight the series for another season in the coming weeks or months. The streaming platform sometimes takes months to renew some of its most popular shows. As it’s been less than two weeks since Tires season 2 premiered on June 5, the delay in renewal is not at all concerning.
Moreover, the workplace comedy has a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, despite getting a 71% rating from critics. It illustrates the show's popularity among viewers, who are drawn to its crude, raunchy brand of humor. Netflix will certainly take that into account while considering the show's renewal prospects.
Also, a potential Tires season 3 will likely hit Netflix in the second half of 2026, considering the release schedule of the past two seasons.

What to expect from a potential Tires season 3?
If the series gets greenlit for another season, fans can expect all of the main cast to return. Steve Gerben leads the series as Will, the high-strung manager of Valley Forge Automotive Center, while Shane Gillis plays his cousin and employee, Shane. Chris O'Connor appears as the mechanic Cal, Kilah Fox as his co-worker Kilah, and Stavros Halkias as the district manager Dave.
Moreover, Thomas Haden Church, who plays Shane's estranged father Phil in season 2, will also likely return. Phil is a wealthy businessman from Florida who takes over the reins of the company from his brother Jon (Will's father). He is also determined to fix his fraught relationship with Shane, making him integral to the storyline in a potential Tires season 3.
Veronika Slowikowska's role as Shane's love interest, Kelly, will likely not be a part of season 3 as the couple broke up before the end of the second season. Also, Shane Gillis is currently busy shooting for other projects and doing a stand-up tour, so it may be a while before he is ready to start production on the show's next season.
Tires season 2 largely focused on Will and Shane's attempts to save Valley Forge from shutting down. By the end of the season, they managed to secure a few promising deals with suppliers and car dealerships to help keep the company afloat. The third installment will showcase whether they succeed in turning the company's fortunes around.
