If you’ve never loved anything before, apart from a car or a sandwich or The Inbetweeners, this news is for you! Netflix unveiled on Monday that a third movie in the raunchy franchise is moving ahead, with production beginning on Monday in the U.K. on The Inbetweeners 3, which the streamer described as “a continuation of the hugely popular sitcom and its two record-breaking films.”
Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas will reprise their roles as the protagonist trio Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper who get into all sorts of misadventures. And The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris are back to write and direct the film.
The film is produced by Claire Jones alongside Banijay’s Patrick Holland and Fudge Park Production’s Mark Lesbirel. Caroline Levy, Caroline Leddy, Phil Gilbert, Suzanne Knight, Tom Jordan, Farhana Bhula, Iain Morris and Damon Beesley serve as executive producers.
“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,” said Beesley and Morris.
The coming-of-age sitcom was originally broadcast on Channel 4 between 2008 and 2010, following the misadventures of suburban teenager Will McKenzie and his friends Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland and Jay Cartwright at the fictional Rudge Park Comprehensive as they navigated school life, friendship and failed sexual encounters.
Over three seasons, the series set ratings records for the British broadcaster and won multiple awards. Two Film4-backed movies followed, released in 2011 and 2014, respectively. The first one set a record for the biggest opening weekend for a U.K. comedy at the time of its release, with the sequel also breaking records.
Talk about a third Inbetweeners movie has been a recurring feature over the years. Last year, rights holder Banijay U.K. unveiled a deal with creators Morris and Beesley via their production firm Fudge Park Productions. That was seen as a strong sign of an eventual return of the hit comedy, with Netflix now officially its home.
