A revival of The Inbetweeners has been confirmed, with Netflix publishing a preview clip for a forthcoming third feature film.
Production is underway on the project, which will feature the return of the principal cast members Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and James Buckley.
The trailer was published on Monday, September 7 across Netflix UK and Ireland’s social media channels.
The footage depicts the four actors reuniting in the distinctive 1996 Fiat Cinquecento Hawaii edition vehicle that featured prominently in the original television series.
The engine fails to start in the preview, and the numeral three is visible on the rear window, indicating the new production will serve as a continuation following the two preceding films.
The initiative follows an agreement finalised in 2025 between rights-holder Banijay UK and the programme’s creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley.
The arrangement was described at the time as intended to facilitate the franchise’s return, though the specific format—whether a television revival, special episode or cinematic release—remained unspecified.
The original television series premiered on E4 in 2008 and concluded in 2010.
The show chronicled the experiences of sixth-form student Will MacKenzie alongside companions Simon, Neil and Jay as they navigated adolescence, camaraderie and ill-fated romantic pursuits.
The television programme generated two commercially successful adaptations for the big screen, arriving in cinemas in 2011 and 2014.
The inaugural film achieved the highest domestic box-office performance for a British comedy production, while the follow-up likewise surpassed previous records for the genre.
In prior remarks regarding the franchise’s resurgence, Morris and Beesley characterised the prospect of creating additional escapades for their four central characters as an exhilarating development.
Representatives for Netflix have declined to provide public commentary on the forthcoming film.
James Buckley was present in Oxfordshire during the previous month, appearing at The Big Feastival held at the venue operated by Alex James.
An image circulated online depicted him arriving at The Feathers Hotel in Woodstock, where he had also lodged during the previous year and had referred to the accommodation as an enjoyable visit.
