The Inbetweeners Reboot: Everything You Need to Know
Twelve years after the last film concluded, the beloved teen comedy The Inbetweeners is making a highly anticipated comeback. Writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have repurchased the rights to produce new episodes, sparking excitement among fans worldwide.
Confirmed Return and Development Status
Joe Thomas, who portrays the lovestruck Simon Cooper, recently confirmed that the creators have begun writing season four. In an interview with The Sun, Thomas expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "I’m really excited. I don’t know what they’re doing. I just know they’re writing something, and I would really love to do it." This announcement follows the original 2025 news where Beesley and Morris said, "Incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends."
Release Date Speculations
While no official release date has been announced, rumors suggest the revival could air in 2026. The creators are currently penning new material, which may take the form of a TV series, another movie, or even a stage production. Fans are hopeful that season four will hit screens this year, though details remain tentative.
Original Cast Set to Return
The reboot will reportedly feature all four original actors and their iconic characters:
- Simon Bird as Will McKenzie
- James Buckley as Jay Cartwright
- Joe Thomas as Simon Cooper
- Blake Harrison as Neil Sutherland
It is unclear whether supporting characters like Mr. Gilbert, Carli D'Amato, and Charlotte Hinchcliffe will make appearances. The series originally aired on E4 from 2008 to 2010, capturing the awkwardness of adolescence with two successful films following in 2011 and 2014.
Storyline Hints and Character Evolution
Joe Thomas has hinted at potential storylines, noting that the characters' delusions—a core element of the show—may evolve as they age. He explained, "When you get older, your delusions fall away, you look at life as it is. It means you get into less stupid situations, I suppose, also the challenges get bigger." While fans might not see the same cringeworthy school trip mishaps, the new series promises to entertain with fresh, relatable scenarios for the now-adult friends.
The Inbetweeners reboot marks a significant moment for comedy television, blending nostalgia with new adventures. With the original team back on board, audiences can expect the same humor and heart that made the series a smash hit.
