A new Inbetweeners film might be in the works as Joe Thomas, who played Simon in the series, revealed that the cast has been discussing the possibility of a third film. The Inbetweeners originally aired on E4 in 2008 and enjoyed immense popularity.
During an interview on The Always Be Comedy podcast, Joe Thomas expressed the cast’s interest in reprising their roles. He mentioned that all the cast members are still in touch and have a good relationship, making a potential reunion even more appealing.
Although ideas such as a stag do in Las Vegas have been thrown around, there are concerns about whether a new film would live up to the success of the previous ones. Joe admitted that there is a level of anxiety surrounding a potential return to the big screen, with everyone wondering if they can recreate the magic of the original series and films.
However, not all cast members share the same enthusiasm for a revival. James Buckley, who played Jay, expressed his reservations about revisiting the series. He mentioned that while he treasures the memories of filming The Inbetweeners and cherishes the bonds formed with his co-stars, he believes that attempting a revival may come across as sad and desperate.
Similarly, Simon Bird, who portrayed Will in the series, echoed these sentiments. He described the idea of a revival as “sad and creepy,” indicating that the show’s charm and humour may not translate well if the characters were to be depicted in older, more mature roles.
It seems that while there is a shared nostalgia and affection among the cast members for The Inbetweeners, there are mixed feelings about the prospect of a new film or series. The original series and films hold a special place in the hearts of both the actors and the audience, and there is a fear that attempting to recreate that magic may not yield the same results.
As discussions continue among the cast, fans eagerly await any updates on a potential Inbetweeners revival. Whether it comes to fruition or remains a distant possibility, the legacy of the show remains intact, cherished by all those who enjoyed the misadventures of Simon, Will, Jay, and Neil.
