Fans of British comedy have reason to celebrate — The Inbetweeners revival is officially in the works. The show’s creators, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, have confirmed that the hit sitcom will return more than ten years after its finale, promising “more adventures” with the beloved and hilariously awkward foursome.
Comedy Classic Returns
The Inbetweeners, which first aired on Channel 4 in 2008, followed the lives of four suburban teenage boys — Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil — as they stumbled through school, parties, and painfully awkward social encounters. The show became a cultural phenomenon, earning a loyal fan base and spawning two box office hits: The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014).
Now, the creators’ production company, Fudge Park, has signed a new partnership deal with Banijay UK, setting the stage for the franchise’s return to screens.
A Deal to Bring the Lads Back
The partnership between Fudge Park and Banijay UK “paves the way for the return of the hit comedy title,” according to an official statement. This agreement reportedly unlocks the rights and creative freedom needed to revive The Inbetweeners across multiple platforms — including film, television, and even stage productions.
In their joint announcement, Beesley and Morris said, “It’s incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh friends).” Their playful tone instantly reignited excitement among fans who have long hoped for a reunion.

“A Wonderful Moment for Fans”
Jonathan Blyth, managing director of Fudge Park, expressed enthusiasm about the new collaboration. “We are thrilled to announce this exciting partnership with Banijay, who share our vision and ambition for one of the most iconic comedies in British history,” he said. “This is a wonderful moment for fans, there are exciting conversations afoot and more news to follow.”
His remarks hint at major plans ahead, though no details have been revealed about whether the comeback will be a brand-new series, a film sequel, or a spin-off featuring the original characters.
Banijay’s Vision for the Revival
Patrick Holland, CEO of Banijay UK, echoed the excitement, confirming that talks about the show’s future are already underway. “We’re delighted to pick up the conversation about the future of The Inbetweeners with Iain and Damon,” Holland said. “They have an infectious creative vision for the brand that will resonate with audiences old and new, and I can’t wait to get going.”
Banijay UK, known for producing hit shows like Peaky Blinders and Big Brother, is expected to provide the resources and reach needed to bring The Inbetweeners to a new generation of viewers.
Remembering the Original Series
During its original run, The Inbetweeners stood out for its unfiltered humor, sharp writing, and painfully relatable teenage moments. The show starred Simon Bird as the socially awkward Will, Joe Thomas as the lovesick Simon, James Buckley as the bragging Jay, and Blake Harrison as the naive Neil.
The series ran for three seasons, followed by two feature films that saw the boys’ chaotic antics continue on holiday adventures. Despite its relatively short run, the show became one of the most influential British comedies of the 2000s, often compared to Gavin & Stacey and The Office for its cultural impact.
What to Expect Next
While exact details remain under wraps, the creators’ comments suggest that the revival will stay true to the show’s roots — capturing the raw humor, cringe-worthy mishaps, and endearing friendship that made the original so beloved.
Industry insiders speculate that the revival might explore the characters’ adult lives, possibly showing where they’ve ended up years after school. Whether they are still close friends or have drifted apart, fans can expect the same brand of uncomfortable comedy that defined the series.
The partnership’s mention of “a range of platforms” also hints at creative flexibility. It opens possibilities for a streaming series, a one-off film, or even a live stage adaptation, expanding The Inbetweeners universe in fresh directions.
Nostalgia Meets New Audiences
The timing of the revival could not be better. In recent years, reboots and nostalgic comebacks have gained huge popularity among both original fans and younger viewers discovering these classics for the first time. Shows like The Office, Friends, and Frasier have found renewed success through streaming platforms — and The Inbetweeners seems poised to follow the trend.
Banijay and Fudge Park aim to introduce the awkward adventures of Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil to a new generation while keeping longtime fans hooked.
A Cultural Staple Reimagined
Since its debut, The Inbetweeners has remained a defining portrait of British adolescence. Its unforgettable one-liners, crude humor, and relatable coming-of-age themes turned it into a comedy classic. Even after its finale in 2010, reruns and online clips kept the show alive in pop culture.
Now, with its return on the horizon, the creators face the challenge of balancing nostalgia with fresh storytelling. Fans can expect the same outrageous energy but perhaps with a new twist that reflects modern teenage life.
More Awkward Adventures Ahead
For now, fans will have to wait for more details, including casting news and release plans. But one thing is clear: the spirit of The Inbetweeners — chaotic, hilarious, and unfiltered — is coming back.
As Damon Beesley and Iain Morris prepare to revive their iconic creation, audiences old and new can look forward to more painfully funny moments from the four friends who defined a generation of British comedy. The boys may have grown up, but their misadventures are far from over.
