Netflix is set to revive The Inbetweeners in a film that could arrive next year, bringing back the E4 sitcom that ran for three series between 2008 and 2010 and spawned two feature films. The original cast, including Emily Atack, Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, may feature.
Simon Bird, who played Will, has remained a familiar face, appearing in Friday Night Dinner and Channel 4's Everyone Else Burns. The 41-year-old also co-created and starred in Sky's Chickens, made his West End debut in 2017 and voiced Trainline adverts. He has been married to writer Lisa Owens since 2012, with the couple having two sons.
Joe Thomas, who portrayed Simon Cooper, went on to star in Fresh Meat, White Gold and the sci-fi comedy We Are Not Alone. He and partner Hannah Tointon welcomed a daughter in 2022. Thomas previously joked about their on-screen romance: "I can't really see how those scenes kindled romance because they were all her being sick into my mouth... but I'm really into that so obviously it was fine!"
Blake Harrison, best known for playing Neil, has taken a different path, featuring in A Very English Scandal, Dad's Army and Agatha and the Truth of Murder, as well as voicing a Bob the Builder reboot. He also hosts The MMA Fan Show, a podcast he describes as presented by "two over-excited lads having a blast".
Joe Thomas confirmed last year that the cast were prepared for a reunion. The show's two films earned nearly £67 million at the box office, and the series remains a beloved coming-of-age comedy.
