Netflix's Tires Season 3 Debuts August 13; Family Guy Halloween and Holiday Specials Return Exclusively to Hulu This Year

Welcome back to Valley Forge Auto. Season 3 of Tires, starring Shane Gillis, debuts August 13 only on Netflix. Netflix has released the official trailer and key art.

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 stars Shane Gillis, Steve Gerben, Chris O'Connor, Kilah Fox, Stavros Halkias, and Thomas Haden Church. As we previously mentioned in April, new Season 3 cast members include Rachel Blanchard, Garret Dillahunt, Anjelica Bette Fellini, and Matt Walsh.

At the Family Guy San Diego Comic-Con panel on July 25, executive producer and showrunner Rich Appel revealed that Family Guy Halloween and Holiday specials are returning exclusively to Hulu this year, along with a first look at guest star Kieran Culkin, who joins the Halloween special as the Devil. Appel was joined by Family Guy stars Alex Borstein, Arif Zahir, Jennifer Tilly and co-executive producer & supervising director Peter Shin.

In the Halloween special, "Happy Hell-o-ween," Brian and Stewie find themselves in Hell - not an annoying day, the actual underworld - paying for 24 seasons' worth of bad behavior. When they manage to annoy even the Devil himself, they end up in charge. Having danced with any number of devils on Succession, Kieran Culkin now gets to play the Devil himself in "Happy Hell-o-ween."

In the Holiday special, "The Peter Clause," it's Christmas in Quahog, and Peter and the guys compete to become the town's official Santa. Peter loses, and he can either process his disappointment in a mature manner, or give fans a memorable episode of Family Guy. Thankfully, he chooses option number two.

The specials will also exclusively stream internationally on Disney+ in most markets. Season 25 of Family Guy returns to Fox in 2027, and will stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S.
