Four familiar names may be making a comeback in The Inbetweeners. Yes, you read that right - James Buckley, Blake Harrison, Joe Thomas, and Simon Bird could potentially be reuniting for some more hilarious antics. The beloved coming-of-age sitcom originally aired from 2008 to 2010 on a popular channel, before transitioning to two wildly successful films. And now, it seems there may be some more life left in the old dog!
For those unfamiliar, the show follows the misadventures of four students - William McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland, and Jay Cartwright - as they navigate through the trials and tribulations of adolescence. With its relatable characters and unforgettable quotes, the show has gained a cult following over the years. And it looks like fans may soon have some new catchphrases to endlessly quote at each other.
One of the show's lead stars, Joe Thomas, has teased the possibility of a comeback. At 40 years old, he is the one giving fans hope for a reunion filled with more "oh fwends" and "I thought it was a fart sir" moments. In a recent interview on the Always Be Comedy podcast, Joe revealed that there have been discussions about getting the gang back together. "Yes, it's happened in various forms," he said. "All of us feel it would be nice to do."
However, Joe also shared that there are concerns about the potential revival not living up to the standard of its original run. "Everybody's anxiety would be, 'Will it be as good?'" he admitted. "That is what we would be going in with." Some ideas for the storyline have been thrown around, including a Las Vegas stag do and a reunion on the football field instead of the college common room. But one thing is for sure - the cast is more than happy to be in each other's company again, as they have remained friends over the past decade.
"We're all still around, we're all still in each other's lives," Joe said. "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." He added, "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."
For Joe, the show holds a special place in his heart as he met his wife, Hannah Tointon, on set. Hannah played his character's girlfriend, Tara, and the two have been happily married with a child. And it seems the rest of the cast also has fond memories of the show. James Buckley, who played Jay Cartwright, previously shared that he still finds the scenes just as funny as when they were first created. "It might be a bit more cringy or embarrassing than being the actor who's so fed up with a character and too cool for school, but I still find it funny," he said. "I still find it as funny as when I first read it."
The Inbetweeners was a huge success, breaking viewership records and winning numerous awards. Its first movie, which followed the characters on a wild lads' holiday in Malia, earned over £13 million in its opening weekend. And for those who miss the show, fear not - it is still available to watch on Channel 4.
