The Inbetweeners Comeback
Well, well… looks like Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil might be dusting off their school bags and heading back to Rudge Park over a decade after we thought we’d seen the last of them. Yep, The Inbetweeners is officially plotting a comeback.
Show creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley have teamed up with Banijay UK in a deal that essentially unlocks everything TV, film, and even stage show possibilities. They’ve hinted pretty heavily that any return will centre around the original four idiots we know and love. No official word yet on whether it’s going to be a new series, a movie, or something completely unexpected, but the fact they’re actually talking “more adventures” has fans grinning… and probably already quoting the old lines. X user @superTV247 has shared that The Inbetweeners is set to return, with the original cast all planning to reprise their roles.
One of the user @StokeyyG2 has announced that The Inbetweeners is returning, with the show’s creators striking a deal with Banijay to produce a new series in 2026 featuring the entire original cast.
It’s a bit of a turnaround, too. Cast members had previously been skeptical. Simon Bird once said revisiting the characters might not work with them being older. But now? Actor Joe Thomas (Simon) reckons they’d all be keen, pointing out they’re still good mates and in each other’s lives. Which, let’s be honest, is kind of the charm of the whole thing; it’s always been about that awkward friendship that somehow survives every embarrassing disaster.
Between 2008 and 2010, The Inbetweeners smashed E4’s viewing records and nailed that sweet spot of cringe, filth, and relatability. Then came two box office-blasting movies in 2011 and 2014, cementing it as one of the UK’s most iconic comedies.
Of course, bringing it back means walking a fine line. Nostalgia is powerful but risky. Will we get the same chaotic magic, or will it feel like the lads have grown up a bit too much? Either way, something is exciting about the thought of stepping into their world again. And honestly… if Neil’s still clueless, Jay’s still lying, Simon’s still awkward, and Will’s still moaning, I think we’ll be just fine.
Where to Watch The Inbetweeners?
If all this nostalgia has you itching to rewatch the original, you can find The Inbetweeners streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Channel 4’s on-demand platform in the UK. Viewers outside the UK can usually catch it on streaming services like Netflix, though availability varies by region. So, brace yourself, the cringe, chaos, and charm of The Inbetweeners might be about to make an epic, expletive-filled return.
