Inbetweeners Reunion: Netflix Confirms Third Film
Confirmed
In Short: The Inbetweeners original cast is set to return for a third film, with production starting on Monday.
The Inbetweeners, the popular British sitcom that first aired on Channel 4 in 2009, is making a triumphant return with a third film, confirmed by Netflix. The original cast of Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison, and Joe Thomas will reprise their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland, and Simon Cooper, respectively. According to reports, the film will follow the story of these characters, continuing their adventures. Netflix has also announced that the creators, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, will return to write and direct the film, having previously directed the second installment in 2014.
Production for The Inbetweeners 3 began on Monday, with the iconic quartet reuniting to bring their characters back to the big screen. The teaser video released by Netflix showed the lead stars returning to their iconic yellow Fiat, setting the stage for the new film. The original cast members expressed excitement about the project, stating, "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," as quoted by Deadline.
The Inbetweeners has gained new fans over the years, with some of its best bits finding new life on social media and through the film sequels. 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 third instalment will follow two previous sequels backed by Film4, which were released in 2011 and 2014. The show ended its Channel 4 run in 2010, and the two films that followed felt like a proper full stop, but now, eight years later, the promise of a third film is finally being fulfilled.
Emily Atack, who starred as Charlotte "Big Jugs" Hinchcliffe in the series, will not be appearing alongside the lads in the new film. Atack was axed from the Inbetweeners reunion five years ago following a 'past fling' with co-star James Buckley. 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. Despite this, the original cast is eager to bring their characters back to the screen, promising to work hard to ensure the film is a success.
