The Inbetweeners Comeback Confirmed: Cast and Creators Tease Exciting Return
One of Britain’s most cherished slapsticks looks set to make a long-awaited return. suckers of The Inbetweeners may soon see their favourite awkward teenagers back on defense after further than a decade.
The E4 sitcom, which first aired from 2008 to 2010, captured the chaotic world of four British teens floundering through nonage.
The series spawned two flicks in 2011 and 2014, cementing its place in ultramodern UK comedy history.
Now, a new deal between Fudge Park products, the company innovated by the show’s generators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, and Banijay UK has reignited a stopgap for a full-scale comeback.
The agreement gives the directors the rights to bring The Inbetweeners back across television, film, and indeed stage acclimations.

Beesley and Morris described the prospect as: “incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh friends).”
Fudge Park managing director Jonathan Blyth added: “We are thrilled to announce this exciting partnership with Banijay, who share our vision and ambition for one of the most iconic comedies in British history.
This is a wonderful moment for fans, there are exciting conversations afoot and more news to follow.”
The cast also seems on board. Joe Thomas, 41, who played Simon, previously said: “We’re all still around… We’re all still in each other’s lives. We all still like each other. And if it was something that came up, I think we would want to do it.”
Banijay UK chief executive Patrick Holland echoed the enthusiasm: “They have an infectious creative vision for the brand which will resonate with audiences old and new.”
The company confirmed that the deal “unlocks the rights and potential to bring The Inbetweeners back for new audiences across a range of platforms, including film, TV, and stage.”
Hints of a reunion first surfaced last summer when Thomas and Simon Bird (who played Will) shared cryptic social media posts.
One Instagram photo, captioned simply, “Working on something…”, sparked immediate speculation among fans.
Emily Atack, who played Charlotte Hinchcliffe, is also rumoured to be returning if the reboot goes ahead, which would mark the first time in over a decade that the main cast reunites on screen.
Still, suckers may be conservative. The 2019 reunion special, The Inbetweeners Fwends Reunited, hosted by Jimmy Carr, faced significant counterreaction.
Many viewers described it as “awkward,” and James Buckley, who played Jay, later called the episode a “disaster,” criticising Carr for interrupting actors’ stories.
Buckley added that the special had been “rushed” and admitted, “I was just as disappointed as everyone else when that thing came out.”
Despite the scepticism, excitement is erupting across social media and addict communities. The possibility of a fresh season, new flicks, or indeed stage performances has cult buzz.
For now, the details remain under wraps, but one thing is clear The Inbetweeners comeback is officially on the horizon, and suckers are ready to relive the awkward jocundity of nonage with the cast that started it all.
