BREAKING: CBS’s latest workplace comedy, DMV, premieres tonight, July 15, 2025, and promises to bring hilarity from one of the most dreaded locations: the Department of Motor Vehicles. Viewers are eager to find out if this new series offers fresh laughs or simply rehashes familiar comedic tropes.

The show stars Harriet Dyer as Collette, a driving test examiner navigating the chaos of the DMV in East Hollywood. Accompanied by quirky colleagues like Vic, played by Tony Cavalero, and seasoned examiner Gregg, portrayed by Tim Meadows, the series dives into the absurdity of public service with a comedic twist.

What sets DMV apart? The show features a cast of eccentric characters dealing with the public, including a senior citizen who struggles during her driving test and an irate customer upset over expired documents. These interactions are the backbone of the comedy, echoing the everyday frustrations of DMV visitors.

In tonight’s premiere, Collette finds herself awkwardly attracted to the new clerk, Noa, played by Alex Tarrant. As romantic tension builds, hilarity ensues, particularly when Collette experiences a series of embarrassing mishaps, including an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. The comedic chemistry among the cast is palpable, with enough laugh-out-loud moments to keep audiences engaged.

VIEWING DETAILS: New episodes of DMV will air on Mondays at 8 PM ET on CBS. For those who prefer streaming, Paramount+ offers live viewing for Premium subscribers, while Essential subscribers can catch the show the following day. Subscription options start at $7.99/month, with a seven-day free trial available for newcomers.

With its unique setting and potential for humor, DMV aims to carve its niche among workplace comedies. The question remains: will it stand out in a crowded genre? Critics suggest that while the premise is novel, the character dynamics echo those seen in other series like American Auto and The Paper, raising expectations for originality.

As the premiere approaches, social media buzz is building. Early reviews highlight the show’s relatable humor and the strong performances from its cast. Will DMV resonate with audiences, or will it fall flat? Tune in tonight to find out!

Stay tuned for updates as more audience reactions pour in following the premiere. This could be the comedy everyone is talking about—or just another forgettable sitcom.
