Comedian and writer Shane Gillis has inked a multi-year deal with Netflix to develop new projects for the streaming giant. As part of the agreement, Gillis and his longtime collaborator John McKeever will work on films, series, and unscripted content under their production company Dad Sick Productions.
Gillis and McKeever have already begun production on the third season of their comedy series "Tires," which follows the misadventures of Will as he tries to get his family's auto repair business off the ground with the help - or hindrance - of his cousin Shane, played by Gillis. The show has gained a loyal following, including two weeks on Netflix's top 10 list for Gillis' 2023 stand-up special "Beautiful Dogs."
The deal marks a significant milestone in Gillis' career, which has been bolstered by his Philadelphia roots and connections to the local comedy scene. He won Philly's Phunniest award at Helium Comedy Club in 2016 and has worked with notable figures like Saquon Barkley.
Netflix's commitment to working with Gillis and McKeever is a testament to their unique brand of humor, which has resonated with audiences worldwide. The company's vice president of comedy series for the US market, Tracey Pakosta, praised Gillis' "raw, unfiltered energy" and noted that "Tires" feels familiar to many viewers.
Under the terms of the deal, Gillis and McKeever will have a significant hand in developing their projects, including two more stand-up comedy specials for Gillis. The show's success has also led to production taking place largely in West Chester, where every episode is directed by McKeever.

. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch more of that raw, unfiltered energy on their screen? The fact that they're already working on another season of "Tires" is a no-brainer - people love that show! And let's be real, it's not just the comedy special that's got them hooked, it's the whole vibe and atmosphere of the production. I've seen some behind-the-scenes vids from West Chester, and it's like you can feel the love and care that goes into every episode 
. It's a testament to Gillis' unique brand of humor and his team's dedication to bringing it to life. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!
that's like, the ultimate validation for all his hard work! i've been watching "Tires" and it's literally one of my favorite shows right now 
i love how Shane and John McKeever collaborate on everything - they're like two peas in a pod 
anyway, this deal is super exciting because it means more opportunities for Gillis to showcase his unique brand of humor 
i'm totally hyped to see what he comes up with next! 
their raw, unfiltered energy is just infectious and i love how they're giving themselves a lot of creative control under this multi-year deal 
can't wait to see what they come up with next

. Two more stand-up comedy specials for Shane? Count me in! And I'm curious to see what kind of crazy stuff they come up with next 
. It's awesome that production is going on in West Chester, supporting the local community and all that jazz 
... don't get me wrong, the show is funny and all, but I feel like the whole "auto repair business" thing is kinda played out, you know? I mean, can't they come up with something more original? 
on the other hand, it's awesome that Netflix is committing to more comedy shows, I'm a huge fan of their stand-up specials 
. The fact that they've gained two weeks on Netflix's top 10 list for Gillis' stand-up special is a testament to their hard work and dedication. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this talented duo and what kind of projects they'll be working on next. It's also great to see Philly roots shining through in their success, it's nice to see a local talent making waves 
Two stand-up specials already? Bring it on, Shane! 
. And what's up with the production values? West Chester, PA? Really? It's not like it adds to the show or anything 
. Anyway, I guess it's cool for Gillis and his collab partner John McKeever to have more creative control, but can't they just, like, chill a bit with the hype machine 
?
