- Netflix confirmed a new Inbetweeners film is officially in the works, with production starting Monday following months of fan speculation
- Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison, and Joe Thomas will reprise their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland, and Simon Cooper respectively
- Creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris will return to write and direct, calling it "super fun" hanging out with friends again and promising "no problemos"
- The original Inbetweeners sitcom aired three seasons on E4 between 2008 and 2010, following suburban teenagers at fictional Rudge Park Comprehensive
- Netflix's teaser video shows the friend group returning to their iconic yellow Fiat, with Simon struggling to start the engine before they drive out of a storage unit
- The third film follows two prior sequels backed by Film4, which were released in 2011 and 2014
- Beyond the four confirmed leads, Netflix has yet to announce whether Emily Atack (Charlotte Hinchcliffe) or Emily Head (Carli D'Amato) will return
Why it matters: For Netflix, a reunion of all four original male leads plus the returning writer-director duo taps into a built-in nostalgia audience cultivated through 15+ years of E4 reruns and social media virality — but the unconfirmed supporting cast, including the fan-favorite female characters, leaves the film's full draw uncertain.
