We’re nonetheless round a month away from Fall TV reveals peppering the 2025 premiere schedule, however I’ve little hesitation in considering that the second season of Tim Allen’s Shifting Gears goes to be simply as a lot of a scores winner as the primary was. A part of that optimism is little question linked to the few particulars we already know in regards to the upcoming episodes, such because the trio of former Residence Enchancment stars set to seem. Now we all know of one other celeb who’ll seemingly pop up inside Matt’s store.
In what I imagine will likely be her first massive TV position of the 12 months, multi-hyphenate comic Lilly Singh is becoming a member of the Shifting Gears household for a Season 2 visitor spot, and can seemingly be exhibiting up in one of many earlier episodes, simply primarily based on the place the present is with its live-audience filming course of. When she arrives, count on to see some friction with Kat Dennings’ Riley.
In accordance with TVLine, Singh will painting a personality named Jen who will initially get alongside fairly properly with Riley as a brand new pal. The 2 girls will apparently bond in a short time with motherhood being a supply of widespread floor. Nevertheless it seems that’ll even be what upends the short-lived kinship, as some “sudden mama drama” causes the characters to show towards one another.
Right here’s hoping issues don’t go sideways for Riley and Jen whereas they’re nonetheless contained in the store, since that might be disastrous for any of the restored automobiles of their instant neighborhood. Riley won’t be capable of survive life on Matt’s unhealthy facet if such an end result occurs.
Lilly Singh roughly broke the information herself on Shifting Gears’ social media with a video from the set, as seen under:
