BET's Lot Patrol Bonus Episodes; Netflix Renews Tires for Season 4
Following the highly successful debut of Manny Halley Productions' hit original comedy series Lot Patrol on BET, it was revealed that five bonus episodes will premiere Tuesday, November 3, at 9:30 PM ET/CT, rounding out season one with 10 full episodes. The five bonus episodes will be shot at IMANI Studio, Manny Halley's newly rebranded production facility in Pacoima, formerly operated as Quixote North Valley Studios.
Debuted this summer on BET with record ratings, Lot Patrol presents a laugh-out-loud look at Hollywood from a perspective the industry rarely shows and features a who's who of comedy talent, including DeRay Davis (21 Jump Street, Semi-Pro), Carl Anthony Payne II (Martin, House Party), Tamera Kissen (White Men Can't Jump, House Party), and comedians Skeet Carter, TK Kirkland, Alex Thomas, Tanjareen Thomas, Lionell Dalton,Nick Nervies, Dawn Raven, Iyana Halley, and G Thang.
In Lot Patrol, a mismatched squad of eccentric security guards patrols the chaotic backlot of a major Hollywood studio, wrangling unhinged actors, rogue crew members, and their own wildly dysfunctional personal lives. Shot in a sharp-witted mockumentary style, Lot Patrol blends absurd encounters, razor-sharp urban humor, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the industry through the eyes of those barely holding it together.
Together, they bring to life a comedy series rooted in BET's pillars of community, culture, and connection, finding all three in the most unlikely crew: underpaid dreamers, washed-up has-beens, and borderline con artists just trying to hold it together on the world's most chaotic lot.
Netflix announced that the comedy series, Tires, has been renewed for a fourth season. The news arrives as Tires season three earned its highest-ever ranking on the Global Top 10 English TV list, reaching #5 the week of August 17, 2026.
Will (Steve Gerben), the nervous and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain, attempts to turn his father's business around despite constant torture from his cousin and now employee, Shane (Gillis). While settling in as part owners, Will and Shane struggle to keep Valley Forge afloat. Just as their business and friendship hit a breaking point, Will and Shane look to their past to figure out the future.
Tires, starring, co-created and co-written by Shane Gillis, alongside co-creator, director and EP John McKeever and star, co-creator and EP Steve Gerben, has filmed all three seasons in the Pennsylvania region, working with more than 250 local vendors and businesses across six towns - including West Chester, Philadelphia, Phoenixville, Oaks, Frazer, and Glenside.
