The Inbetweeners could be back on TV after 15 years
The Inbetweeners followed the misadventures of teenager Will MacKenzie and his friends Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland and Jay Cartwright
www.liverpoolecho.co.ukHere are the latest developments I can share based on recent reports:
- The Inbetweeners creators have struck a deal with Banijay UK through their production company, unlocking rights and paving the way for a revival across film, TV, and stage. This has generated excitement about potential new adventures featuring the original cast.[1][9]
- Public statements from producers and Banijay indicate there are ongoing discussions and “exciting conversations” about returning the series to new and multiple platforms, with involvement from the original writers and creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley.[4][9][1]
- Several outlets have reported that discussions have centered on reviving The Inbetweeners for today’s audiences, with the expectation that the core cast—Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, James Buckley, and Blake Harrison—could be involved, though specifics about format (new series, film, or stage) have not been finalized.[2][3][4]
- Media coverage since 2024 has highlighted continued interest from fans and the industry, including comments suggesting that talks have occurred in various forms and that a revival is plausible in the coming years.[5][1]
Illustration: a revival could take multiple forms (new TV series, a feature film, or a stage production) and would likely aim to appeal to both longtime fans and new generations, similar to how other classic comedies have been reimagined.
