Simon Bird, best known for his role in the hit sitcom The Inbetweeners, has recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of a reboot for the show. The coming-of-age series, which aired from 2008 to 2010, followed the hilarious and relatable adventures of four students: William McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland, and Jay Cartwright. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, the show has since become a cult classic comedy.
Last month, co-creator Joe Thomas hinted at the potential for a reunion, stating that he and the other main stars would be interested in a reboot. As fans eagerly awaited any news, Simon has now addressed the rumors, revealing that unfortunately, there are no plans for another season or movie.
"I'm afraid to be the one to pour cold water on this, but it's not happening," Simon stated. "I can tell you emphatically that there are no prospects of a reunion." He went on to explain that while the cast would be happy to reprise their roles, the decision ultimately lies with the show's writers, who are currently busy with other projects.
Simon also pointed out that the show "wouldn't be made now," referencing previous comments he made about the show being a product of its time. He reiterated that there have been no discussions about a new show or movie, and that the last movie was released in 2014.
Despite the show's enduring popularity and fans still quoting lines to him in public, Simon admitted that he no longer remembers his lines and has "no idea what they're talking about." However, he did mention that he is still in touch with the cast and that they try to meet up regularly.
While there have been some conversations about a reboot in various forms, Simon expressed concerns that it may not live up to the standard of the original run. The Inbetweeners can currently be streamed on Channel 4, and if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can get in touch with The Agency entertainment team through email or by visiting their Submit Stuff page.
