The Valley Forge crew is officially back! After Netflix announced in late August that the hit comedy series Tires had been renewed for a fourth season, we have new details about when we might see the show return. Following the huge launch of Season 3, we got the latest details on the show’s renewal, when Season 4 will begin filming, and a peek behind the curtain at the show’s surprisingly cost-effective budget.

Created by Shane Gillis, John McKeever, and Steve Gerben, Tires has become one of Netflix’s most reliable comedies in recent years, a Netflix genre deeper than ever as its drama slate arguably relies more on quick limited series rather than big, returning series. The series follows Will (Gerben), the nervous and incompetent heir to an auto repair chain, as he attempts to turn around his father’s business while enduring relentless torment from his cousin and employee Shane (Gillis).

Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming fourth season.

Frame budget: a successful formula for Netflix

In an era of bloated streaming budgets (with many half-hour comedies costing between $5 million and $8 million per episode), Tires has proven to be a huge, cost-effective win for Netflix.

Recent tax credit ledgers and budget reports Obtained through humor Seth Simmons shed some light on the cost of keeping Valley Forge afloat. The entire budget for the third season was approximately 31 million. Collapsed, that is 2.6 million per episode. To put that in perspective, FX Bear It cost about $3.5 million per episode in its first season.

The budget documents also reveal how the pie will be divided. About half of the $31 million went to above-the-line costs. This includes $6.9 million paid to talent, $5.9 million to producers, and $1.5 million to writers. By keeping production lean and PA-centric, Gillis and the Dad Sick Productions team have created a highly profitable comedy ecosystem that justifies these quick renewals.

What else is Shane Gillies doing at Netflix?

Frames aren’t the only thing keeping Gillis busy at Netflix. Earlier this year, Gillies and McIver announced an exclusive creative partnership with the streamer to develop new shows and films.

As part of the overall deal, Gillis will film two brand-new stand-up specials. This is a no-brainer for Netflix, given that its 2023 special, Beautiful Dogs, has nearly 30 million views. He has also appeared heavily across Netflix’s live-action comedy slate, appearing in The Roast of Kevin Hart, the Kill Tony Special, and the T-Mobile Home Run Derby.

Off screen, Gillis is currently working on an unprecedented scale. Just last month, his show at Lincoln Financial Field set two Guinness World Records: the most tickets sold by a solo comedian (77,047) and the largest audience ever by a solo comedian (73,946).
