The Inbetweeners stars (L-R) Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and James BuckleyMore than a decade on from The Inbetweeners’ last outing, a revival of the hit British sitcom has been confirmed to be in the works.Late on Sunday night, Variety reported that a deal had been struck up between the production company Banijay UK and the two creators of The Inbetweeners, which “paves the way for the return of the hit comedy title”.Creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris said in a statement that they were “incredibly excited” to be “plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends”.“Ooh friends,” they, naturally, then added.The Inbetweeners began life as an original comedy on Channel 4’s sister station E4, revolving around four misfits at a sixth form college.Running for three seasons between 2008 and 2010, the show launched the careers of its lead actors, Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas, and went on to win a handful of British Comedy Awards as well as a TV Bafta in the fan-voted Audience Award category.The stars of The Inbetweeners pictured together in 2011After the show came to an end in 2010, The Inbetweeners inspired two spin-off movies, released in 2011 and 2014, both of which revolved around the group venturing on a lads’ holiday.In 2019, to commemorate the show’s 10th anniversary, the reunion special Fwends Reunited was put together by Channel 4, although this was heavily derided by some fans and critics, who felt disappointed by its content.Rumours about an Inbetweeners reunion or third film have swirled pretty consistently since 2014, and while Joe Thomas said last year that he and his former co-stars would all be up for reprising their roles, Simon Bird later insisted he could “emphatically” say “that there are no prospects of a reunion”.In 2022, James Buckley also claimed there is “not enough money in the world” for him to want to reprise the role of Jay, claiming he wouldn’t want to risk “spoiling” the legacy that The Inbetweeners already has.MORE TV NEWS:House Of Guinness Star Anthony Boyle Answers 1 Big Question About His Nude SceneKristin Davis Apologises To Sex And The City Co-Star: I Don t Think I Was That Nice To You Here s Why The White Lotus Fans Are Convinced This Cast Member Will Return For Season 4
