Shane Gillis lands a multi-year deal with Netflix, includes several new projects for the streaming service

Known Birds fan and Pennsylvania native Shan Gillis just secured a longtime partnership with Netflix, along with his buddy John McKeever that basically says “keep cooking, we’ll keep paying.”

The new multi-year deal with Netflix includes two new stand-up specials for Shane Gillis and a pipeline of new films, series, and unscripted projects under the Dad Sick Productions banner.

Gotta love it. Netflix is officially all-in on Shane Gillis and friends, and the entire deal was announced while Tires begins production in my native land of West Chester. Tires season three will have twelve episodes and be filmed yet again, right outside Philly with a release date of later this year.

Shane Gillis just secured the ultimate “keep talking” victory lap.

Shane Gillis and McKeever even dropped the kind of quote that sounds like it was written on a bar napkin, saying Netflix has been “creatively supportive,” they’ve got projects they’re pumped to make, and it’s “too late for them to back out.”

That’s the confidence level you need when you’re turning everyday nonsense into a global comedy machine.

If you haven’t watched Tires it’s basically a love letter to the kind of dysfunctional family business everyone has dealt with at some point. Steve Gerben plays Will, the guy trying to keep his family auto shop alive. Shane Gillis plays Shane, the cousin/employee who makes everything harder, louder, and funnier. John McKeever directs every episode, and the show feels like it was forged in a DELCO parking lot, because it kind of was.

The production has leaned hard into West Chester, and they even landed $5.5 million in state tax credits to keep Season 2 local. That’s a win for the area and for anyone who likes seeing Philly’s orbit get bigger without losing its edge.

Netflix, of course, is doing the polite corporate compliment tour. Their comedy exec Tracey Pakosta called Gillis “unapologetic” and praised the show’s raw, familiar feel.

The rise of Shane Gillis has been incredible to follow. He’s from Mechanicsburg, went to West Chester University, won Philly’s Phunniest at Helium back in 2016, and has never tried to hide his Philly sports wiring. He’s thrown out a first pitch at a Phillies game and even worked Saquon Barkley’s backwards hurdle into a “Tires” episode.

He’s our guy.

So yeah, Netflix just handed Shane Gillis the keys to a bigger sandbox. Two more specials. More projects. More “Tires.” More Philly energy sneaking into the mainstream whether people like it or not.

Dad Sick Productions. Netflix money. West Chester. Run it. Go Birds.
