📋DMV (2025): CBS Turns the Dreaded DMV Into a Comedy Goldmine – Cast, Plot, Release Date & Where to Watch 🎭✨

The Department of Motor Vehicles—few places inspire as much groaning, sighing, and meme-worthy frustration. But what if the dreaded DMV wasn’t just a place for long lines and endless paperwork, but the setting for a workplace comedy about quirky employees making the best of it? That’s exactly what CBS is serving up this fall with DMV, a brand-new sitcom premiering on October 13, 2025.

Created by Dana Klein, this upcoming series transforms a space most of us loathe into a hilarious, character-driven comedy where minimum-wage workers find laughter, friendship, and unexpected heart while navigating annoyed customers and chaotic coworkers.

🚦 The Premise: Chaos, Quirks, and Coping Mechanisms

At its core, DMV is a workplace comedy that leans into the absurdity of one of the most universally dreaded government offices. The show follows a ragtag crew of DMV employees who may not love their jobs but find meaning—and plenty of comedy—by leaning on one another.

As the tagline might suggest, it’s not about the license renewals or paperwork. It’s about the people behind the counter. Think The Office meets Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but set in a government agency everyone has a story about.

🎭 Cast: Quirky Employees, Quirky Stories

The series has a stacked ensemble cast that blends comedy veterans with rising stars, ensuring plenty of sharp humor and heart:

• Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live, The Goldbergs) as Gregg, a veteran DMV worker who’s seen it all and isn’t impressed.

• Harriet Dyer (American Auto) as Colette, the sarcastic, sharp-witted employee who secretly cares more than she lets on.

• Molly Kearney (Saturday Night Live) as Barbara, whose chaotic energy makes her the wildcard of the office.

• Alex Tarrant (NCIS: Hawai‘i) as Noa, the charming but often distracted clerk.

• Tony Cavalero (The Righteous Gemstones) as Vic, the DMV’s wannabe tough guy with a soft side.

• Gigi Zumbado (Gigi & Nate) as Ceci, the optimistic employee who somehow keeps smiling through the chaos.

Additional cast includes Samantha Helt, Gerry Dee, and Chance Jones, expanding the eccentric energy of this workplace setting.

🎬 Behind the Counter: The Creative Team

Dana Klein leads the charge as creator and executive producer, bringing her proven sitcom chops to the series. The project

also has heavy hitters behind the camera:

• Trent O’Donnell (Ghosts, Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

• Aaron Kaplan (A Million Little Things)

• Wendi Trilling

• Robyn Meisinger

Produced by Liscolaide Productions, TrillTV, Anonymous Content, Kapital Entertainment, and CBS Studios, the show was filmed in Montreal, giving it that polished sitcom look with just enough grit to keep the DMV setting believable.

📺 Release Date and Where to Watch

Mark your calendars! DMV premieres October 13, 2025, on CBS. It will also be available for streaming on Paramount+ after broadcast, perfect for fans who prefer to binge their comedies instead of waiting in long lines—ironically, the exact opposite of the DMV experience.

📝 Why DMV Could Be CBS’s Next Big Comedy

Comedy thrives on relatability, and almost everyone has a DMV horror story. By blending this familiar frustration with sharp writing and a lovable cast, DMV could follow in the footsteps of The Office or Superstore, becoming CBS’s next watercooler comedy.

As one character quips in the trailer: “You don’t come to the DMV for joy—you come for survival.” And it’s in that survival that the comedy truly shines.

⭐ Final Verdict: If you’ve ever groaned in a DMV line, rolled your eyes at the counter, or bonded with strangers over the wait, this show might just be the perfect laugh you didn’t know you needed.
