Meet the New Characters in “Tires” Season 3

**New Faces Join the Cast of Netflix’s Popular Comedy ‘Tires’ for Its Third Season**

The workplace comedy series ‘Tires’ has rolled into its third season with a fresh ensemble of cast members. Among the new additions are well-known actors Billy Magnussen and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who are set to bring new dimensions to the already beloved series. The latest season premiered on Netflix on August 13.

The series, created by Shane Gillis, Steve Gerben, and John McKeever, focuses on Shane and his cousin Will, as they strive to revitalise their family-owned mechanic shop, Valley Forge Automotive Center. Gillis, who stars in the series, has previously shared insights about filming, stating that the choice to shoot in Pennsylvania rather than Los Angeles added an authentic touch, although it proved challenging during the winter months.

‘Tires’ has been praised for its engaging storylines and relatable humour, and the introduction of new characters aims to keep things fresh as the show continues to gain popularity. Gillis described the show as being “just me and my friends,” highlighting the collaborative spirit behind the scenes.

Billy Magnussen joins the cast as Taylor, a character characterised as “a charismatic, self-made entrepreneur with alpha energy.” In an appearance on the Scene Stealers podcast, Magnussen hinted at Taylor’s complex relationship with Will, stating that their past collaboration aims to figure out whether Will is ready to move on. He expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that working with Steve Gerben has been a rewarding experience, describing it as “a gift.”

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, renowned for her role in ‘The Sopranos’, has also joined the cast, although details about her character remain under wraps. Her excitement was evident when she announced her involvement on Instagram, sharing that she was thrilled to be part of the series.

Another new face is Taylor Misiak, known for her role in FXX’s ‘Dave’; she takes on the character Jill, Shane’s high school ex-girlfriend. Their reunion is set to rekindle old chemistry and banter, bringing a nostalgic twist to the storyline. Misiak’s enthusiasm for her casting was palpable, as she celebrated the announcement on social media.

Sofia Hasmik, who portrays Lucy the bartender, adds yet another layer to the cast. Her character is described as “blunt and witty” with a charm that contrasts with Shane’s more rigid personality. Hasmik expressed her gratitude on Instagram, reflecting on the enjoyable experience of joining the show.

Comedian Dan Soder steps into the series as Frank, a classic car collector who recruits mechanic Cal, portrayed by Chris O’Connor, for upkeep on his vehicles. Soder’s connection to the series comes through his friendship with Gillis, who advocated for his involvement with the show.

Bobby Lee takes on the role of Ricky, a somewhat chaotic yet noteworthy character in the higher echelons of the tire company. Known for his appearances in ‘Mad TV’ and various other series, Lee’s addition to the cast is expected to draw in laughs as he embodies the quirky aspects of his character.

Moreover, Rachel Blanchard joins as Bonnie, the warm and eccentric new girlfriend of Shane’s father, as played by Thomas Haden Church. Her character introduces spiritual healing rituals that promise to bring an intriguing dynamic to the family setting. Blanchard’s past experiences, including her role in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’, make her a fitting complement to the existing cast.

Garret Dillahunt also appears in the new season, taking on the role of Thatch, who is introduced as the “scary brother” of Frank. The actor is widely known for his performances in acclaimed series like ‘Deadwood’ and ‘Raising Hope’, and his addition is highly anticipated by fans.

Anjelica Bette Fellini joins as Cara, whose character is described as a “chaotic spitfire.” Previously featured in Netflix’s ‘Teenage Bounty Hunters’, Fellini’s dynamic portrayal is expected to add vibrant energy to the ensemble.

Finally, Matt Walsh, known for his Emmy-nominated work on ‘Veep’, returns to the small screen as Claude, a member of the Tire World staff. His extensive career in both comedy and acting positions him well within the ensemble.

As ‘Tires’ continues its run on Netflix, the infusion of these new talents promises to enhance the viewer experience while maintaining the show’s trademark humour and charm. With both seasoned actors and rising stars, the latest season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet.
