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.
Here is what we know about The Inbetweeners 3.
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.
“Also I don’t know where they would place us in terms of age. I think we could play younger, but not that much younger. It would need to be about blokes, I think. And there’s something about the adult world and how much more complicated it is than the world of adolescence.”
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?’
“Whereas when you’re an adult, there’s all this other stuff that you have to worry about. That’s why you need these set pieces, like the stag night or whatever. But then, of course, you’re not dealing with normality anymore, because, by definition, it’s a special occasion. So are you seeing them as they are, or are you seeing them as they are in Vegas, which isn’t really what they are?”
