The Inbetweeners‘ reunion is officially on.
Almost a year after a comeback for the iconic UK show was revealed, Netflix has confirmed, via Variety, that production on a third film is officially in the works.
The original cast – Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas – will all return for the film, while creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris will write and direct.
“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,” the directors said in a statement.
Check out the official teaser below.
The Inbetweeners ran for three seasons between 2008-2010, and followed up with two feature films in 2011 and 2014 respectively. The 2011 movie set the record for the biggest opening weekend for a comedy at the time of release, while the sequel was set and filmed in Australia.
In November 2018, the cast took part in a special reunion show to mark the show’s 10 year anniversary, however it was panned by fans of the show as it was delivered as more of a variety programme rather than a celebration. Buckley even issued a public apology at the time, writing in a post: “I’m sorry to anyone who feels let down with last night’s show… I’m especially upset as it really is the fans that made The Inbetweeners a success, it certainly wasn’t me.”

In the years since, the cast has largely dismissed talks of a comeback.
More recently, Thomas and Buckley launched a new podcast together, Joe and James Fact Up.
