Inbetweeners 3: Original Cast Returns for Netflix Film
Confirmed
In Short: The Inbetweeners original cast is reuniting for a third film, with production starting today.
The Inbetweeners original cast is reuniting for a third film, with production starting today. Netflix has confirmed that Will, Simon, Neil, and Jay will return to their iconic roles, alongside the show's creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, who will also direct the movie. The film will follow the story of the characters from their original sitcom, with the promise of no problemos, as the creators put it.
Production began on Monday, with the same four actors and the same two writers who built the show in the first place. The Inbetweeners ended its Channel 4 run in 2010, and the two films that followed felt like a proper full stop. However, Netflix has now announced that the sequel is back, with the same cast and creators, promising to bring back the fun and humor that made the original series a hit.
The first film made history as the biggest opening weekend for a UK comedy at the time, according to Netflix, while the sequel also broke box office records. The Inbetweeners 3 will be a continuation of the story, with the iconic quartet reuniting for a new adventure. The film is set to follow the characters as they navigate new challenges and adventures, with the same energy and humor that fans have come to love.
Emily Atack, who starred as Charlotte "Big Jugs" Hinchcliffe in the series, will not be appearing alongside the lads in the new film. The actress was axed from the Inbetweeners reunion five years ago following a 'past fling' with co-star James Buckley. Despite this, the group got together for The Inbetweeners: Fwends Reunited special on Channel 4 in 2019, but the special was widely panned as an awkward, cringeworthy disaster that left fans disappointed and Buckley publicly apologising.
The Inbetweeners 3 is set to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans, with the original cast and creators bringing back the humor and energy that made the original series a hit. With production already underway, fans can look forward to seeing the iconic quartet back on screen, with the promise of no problemos.
What's confirmed
What's still developing
- Alongside the announcement, Netflix released a teaser video which showed Will, Simon, Neil and Jay return to their iconic yellow Fiat.
- The show has gained new fans over the years due to some of its best bits finding new life on social media, as well as through the film sequels.
- The third instalment follows two sequels backed by Film4, which were released in 2011 and 2014.
- “It’s been super-fun hanging out with our friends again, and we’re going to work hard every week to ensure there are no problemos making this new film for humans,” said Beesley and Iain Morris, who will also serve as executive producers alongside Caroline Levy, Caroline Leddy, Phil Gilbert, Suzanne Knight, Tom Jordan and Farhana Bhula for Film4.
- Earlier this year, it was reported by The Sun newspaper that a new Inbetweeners movie was on the horizon.
- Yet as of today, cameras are rolling in the UK on The Inbetweeners 3, and Netflix has confirmed the one thing that actually makes this news rather than just nostalgia bait: every single original lead is back.
