Netflix Acquires Sitcom 'Tires' From Comedian Shane Gillis

Netflix acquires 'Tires' sitcom from comedian Shane Gillis.

Netflix has recently acquired the independently produced sitcom 'Tires' from stand-up comedian Shane Gillis, who not only stars in the show but also serves as an executive producer. The six-episode scripted comedy, which was self-financed, is set to premiere on May 23. In addition to this acquisition, Netflix has struck a deal with Gillis to produce a new stand-up special, marking his second collaboration with the streaming platform following the success of 'Beautiful Dogs' last fall.

'Tires' revolves around the character of Will, played by Steven Gerben, who is depicted as the nervous and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain. Will endeavors to revamp his father's business despite facing constant challenges from his cousin and now employee, Shane (Shane Gillis).
