Inbetweeners fans convinced reboot of iconic E4 comedy is happening

Fans of The Inbetweeners have been left totally convinced that a reunion is on the cards. The E4 comedyoriginally aired over the course of three series from 2008 until 2010 and also spawned two films that came out in 2011 and 2014 but fresh hope has been sparked that more could be on the way.

The series followed Joe Thomas, James Buckley, Simon Bird and Blake Harrison as four sixth formers and ran for a total of 18 episodes. But when Joe, who played Simon Cooper, and James, who shot to fame as Jay Cartwright, shared a cryptic Instagram post, fans got excited.

In the photos posted onto the social media platform, Joe and James stood beside each other for a photoshoot. The pair did not give anything away, and James captioned the post: "Working on something..." It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show.

One fan asked: "Inbetweeners 3?" whilst another listed their wishes should a reunion come about as they wrote: "We need an inbetweeners reunion. Set 10/15 years later. Jay gets married and carnage ensues. American Pioe reunion showed that it can be done well," and finished their comment off with a fingers crossed emoji.

A third fan simply wrote: "Inbetweeners 3, we waiting," and another joked: "Where are the other two melons?"

A fifth fan said: "We definitely do need more inbetweeners. For those that don't agree, just pretended that it finished when it did. Don't have to watch anything new if you don't agree!"

Since The Inbetweeners ended, the boys have continued to be active in the industry in one way or another. Joe joined the cast of Fresh Meat in 2011, and then joined James in the sitcom White Gold. Simon, since leaving his alter-ego of straight-laced Will behind, has starred in Friday Night Dinner and has since turned to directing as he helmed the BBC sitcom Such Brave Girls.

Blake, who become known to audiences as the dopey Neil, has made numerous appearances in TV staples like Doctor Who and Death In Paradise amongst a host of others, and starred as the on-screen nephew of Brenda Blethyn in Kate & Koji from 2020 until 2022.

What's more, James has carved out a second career on social media with his wife Clair as they host the YouTube series At Home with the Buckleys, and he has made areported £1 million from his profile on the celebrity greetings website Cameo.

And last year, James, who has sons Harrison, 14, and 12-year-old Jude with Clair, admitted that signing on to star in the role that made him famous once again would be the best thing he could for his bank balance. He told OK!: "It’s no secret that would be the most profitable thing I could go into right now.

"I do have children, I do have a family, I do have bills, and sometimes you’ve got to take that into consideration, just as a practical thing, a boring, dull, provider of a family thing.

"All that stuff I do think about and what’s great is I know, if four of us boys get together — and [writers] Iain Morris and Damon — and we all have a little chat and we said ‘Shall we go again?’ I know it would be greenlit straight away!"
