The Inbetweeners may be returning, as a star from the show disclosed that conversations about a revival had taken place.
Speaking on the next steps for the series, Joe Thomas, who portrayed Simon Cooper in the Channel 4 sitcom and its two film adaptations, confirmed that there is a possibility for another film.
Will there be an The Inbetweeners Movie 3?
Speaking on the next steps for the series on the Always Be Comedy podcast, Thomas 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. I feel like we all still really like each other. We’ve all been able to go away and get various monkeys off our backs, in terms of things that we felt we needed to do other than the Inbetweeners to prove something to ourselves.”
But instead of a series, he insisted that they would make a film, adding: “I don’t think they could do another series. You’d have to be a movie. You’d have to have a very, very clever device for doing another series. A movie, I think works with the right idea. It would be challenging to do another series, just because of the timeline. But with the film, there are all sorts of options.
Thomas also clarified that a third film might centre on a bachelor party in Las Vegas.
He said: “I think that adolescents feel things very, very intensely, and I think their fears and their hopes are perhaps even bigger than adults. But in terms of writing a comedy show, the variables are fairly limited, and they operate within fairly narrow parameters. It’s basically ‘Are we going to get into that party, or not?’

In addition to Fresh Meat, Joe and Simon Bird reunited in the 2013 comedy series Chickens, which did not receive a second season renewal.
He went on to become a star in TV series, including White Gold and the science fiction comedy We Are Not Alone, which came out in 2022.
Thomas made a comeback to the big screen in 2018 with the comedy The Festival, in which his partner Hannah also starred.

Following the end of the series in 2010, Harrison co-starred with Hugh Grant in the popular drama A Very English Scandal and provided voiceovers for Bob the Builder’s revival.
In addition, he portrayed Greg Tullet in The Kindred, Travis Pickford in Agatha and the Truth of Murder, and Private Pike in Dad’s Army.
He tried his hand at both Bake Off and Agatha Christie adaptations, but he’s currently hosting the MMA Fan Show podcast.
The podcast is hosted by “two overexcited lads having a blast” who aren’t really qualified to host an MMA podcast because they haven’t both been in a cage.

Buckley and co-star Thomas starred in the TV series White Gold after the show’s success, and Buckley also made a guest appearance in a 2020 Doctor Who episode.
He also joined the Cameo app in March 2020.
Currently, though, the majority of his time is devoted to managing his two popular YouTube vlogs, At Home With The Buckleys and Completed It Mate, which are about gaming.
