Get ready to dust off your rucksacks and practise your best friend-mum insults - The Inbetweeners are officially returning to our screens after more than a decade away.
The iconic British comedy that defined a generation of teenage awkwardness is set for a major comeback, with creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris confirming they're developing a new project featuring the original four cast members.
Original Gang Back Together

Speaking about the highly-anticipated reunion, co-creator Damon Beesley revealed: "We are indeed working on an Inbetweeners-related project. There's a very good chance it will involve the four stars. It may or may not be a film, we're still working out the details."
From Cult Classic to Cultural Phenomenon
First airing on E4 in 2008, The Inbetweeners became an instant cult classic, capturing the brutal honesty of teenage life with its cringe-inducing humour and painfully relatable scenarios. The series spanned three hugely successful seasons and spawned two blockbuster movies that smashed UK box office records.
The show's unique blend of awkward adolescence and outrageous humour earned it a dedicated fanbase that has only grown in the years since its conclusion, with streaming services introducing the comedy to new generations of viewers.
