Vince Vaughn is joining Shane Gillis in his Netflix comedy series “Tires” among other Season 2 guest stars Ron White, Jon Lovitz, Veronika Slowikowska and Steph Tolev. It was previously announced that Thomas Hayden Church would appear in the second season as Gillis’ character’s dad.
Details on most of their characters have yet to be revealed, but on Thursday afternoon Netflix released a handful of first-look images from the upcoming season, due sometime in 2025.
“Tires” follows Will (Steve Gerben), the awkward manager of his family’s auto repair shop, Valley Forge Automotive Center. As Will attempts to revitalize the struggling business, he’s met with constant harassment from his cousin and employee Shane (Gillis), who would rather make shit jokes than help customers. Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias round out the cast.
Gillis made the six-episode first season of “Tires” independently, on a thin budget. Netflix then acquired the series for distribution and released the first season in May 2024. The streamer renewed it for a second season before the first even aired. Gillis’s stand-up comedy is also showcased on Netflix in the form of his most recent special, 2023’s “Beautiful Dogs.”
In a mixed review, Variety chief TV critic Alison Herman wrote, “’Tires’ is most enjoyable when delivering what it was evidently built around: Gillis’ smirking, button-pushing performance as a Rust Belt ex-jock who never made good the way his portrayer has.”
“Tires” is created by Gillis, Gerben and John McKeever (of “Gilly and Keeves”), who all executive produce. McKeever also directed the series.
