Shane Gillis teams up with a ton of local comedy talent for his self-funded Netflix show 'Tires.'
Gillis, who made a name for himself in the Philadelphia comedy scene, self-funded the project. It arrives on the streaming service about a year after, Gillis is branching out into a scripted series. Created alongside collaborators Steve Gerben and John McKeever, who worked with Gillis on, the self-funded sitcom happens to have a little local flavor, thanks to its setting at the fictional Valley Forge Automotive Center.
Throughout the show, Will’s dad mostly remains an offscreen presence, save for the season’s final episode. Instead, he reports to district manager Dave , who appears to be equally ill-prepared to be in his position. But, that said, we do get a few local references. Throughout the series, we find out that Valley Forge Automotive Center has a number of locations in the Philadelphia area, such as Wayne, Springfield, Belmont, and West Chester — the latter being where the series takes place.
Offscreen, the show featured casting by Heery Loftus. The Classic Diner, which has locations in Malvern and West Chester, did the catering.or Eagles pandering to be seen — although there is one scene in which Gillis chows down on a hoagie, and there is a single mention of Route 202., noting that the series follows protagonists who are “stubbornly one-note” and features a a supporting cast of characters that are “even less distinctive.
