Tires Season 3 Hits Netflix August 13 — Shane Gillis' Garage Comedy Adds Rachel Blanchard, Matt Walsh & More

Tires Season 3 Hits Netflix August 13 — Shane Gillis' Garage Comedy Gets Bigger, Weirder, and Packed With New Faces

Shane Gillis is clocking back in at Valley Forge Automotive Center, and honestly? We couldn't be more ready. Tires — the sleeper-hit workplace comedy co-created by Gillis and his real-life cousin Steve Gerben — returns for Season 3 on Netflix on August 13, 2026. And judging by the freshly dropped trailer, the chaos levels are about to go way, way up.

If you somehow missed it: Tires follows Will (Gillis), a painfully underqualified heir who inherits his family's auto shop, and his cousin Shane (Gerben), the loudmouth assistant manager who keeps the place running — barely. Season 1 quietly became one of Netflix's most rewatched comedies, and Season 2 doubled down on the awkward family business energy. Now Season 3 is arriving with a bigger cast, bigger stakes, and apparently, even bigger comedic mayhem.

Who's New in the Tires Season 3 Cast?

The new season is stacking the roster with some seriously recognizable names. Variety reports that Rachel Blanchard (You Me Her, Peep Show), Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood, Fear the Walking Dead), Anjelica Bette Fellini (The Righteous Gemstones), and Matt Walsh (Veep, Upright Citizens Brigade) are all joining the show for its third season. Oh, and Bobby Lee (MADtv, Top Gear America) is also on board, along with several other recurring additions that fans are already speculating about.

That's a wild upgrade for a show that started as a scrappy six-episode experiment. Gillis' star has been skyrocketing lately — between the Tires success, his massive stand-up specials, and his podcast empire — and it looks like Netflix is giving him the room (and the budget) to play with a much bigger sandbox.

Why Tires Keeps Winning Despite the Critics

Here's the fun part: Tires has never been a critics' darling. Reviews have been consistently mixed since Season 1. But the audience numbers tell a completely different story. The show has become a comfort-watch staple for millennials who grew up on cringe comedy and workplace sitcoms like The Office and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia — and that's exactly the energy Tires delivers. It's low-stakes, endlessly quotable, and weirdly wholesome underneath all the busted transmissions and bad decisions.

Season 3's trailer promises bigger set pieces, more of the cousins' bickering, and a whole lot of new characters who are clearly going to make Will's life even more miserable. If the pattern holds, this could be the season that finally pushes Tires into the mainstream conversation the way Beef or Nobody Wants This did for their respective stars.

Mark your calendar: August 13, 2026, only on Netflix. Whether you're a day-one garage rat or you're just now hearing about this show — trust us, it's worth the watch.
