New Inbetweeners film confirmed by Netflix as lead stars return
Confirmed
In Short: Netflix has announced the third installment of the popular British sitcom, reuniting the original cast for a new film.
Netflix has officially confirmed the production of The Inbetweeners 3, with the original cast of Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison, and Joe Thomas reprising their roles. The film will follow the story of the iconic quartet, Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland, and Simon Cooper, as they return to their familiar roles.
The Inbetweeners creators, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, will return to write and direct the film, following their previous work on the second installment in 2014. Beesley and Morris 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.
Production for The Inbetweeners 3 began on Monday, with the original cast and creators reuniting in the UK. The show 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, while the sequel also broke box office records.
According to reports, Netflix is keen for Emily Atack to reprise her role as Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe in the new film. The Inbetweeners 3 will continue the story of the original cast, eighteen years after the show's Channel 4 run ended in 2010. The creators and cast are excited to bring the characters back to the screen, promising a return to the fun and humor that made the original series and films so popular.
