The Inbetweeners: Potential Revival in the Works
Fans of the beloved British comedy "The Inbetweeners" may have reason to celebrate. Joe Thomas, who portrayed Simon in the series, has revealed that discussions about a potential revival are currently underway. The 40-year-old actor shared that all the main cast members are enthusiastic about the possibility of reuniting, a decade after their last film outing.
Potential Revival Format
According to Thomas, the revival is more likely to take the form of a new film rather than a television series. This approach would allow the characters to be portrayed in situations far removed from their original school setting, where the Channel 4 sitcom began in 2008.
Cast Reunion
Thomas confirmed that he remains good friends with his former co-stars, including James Buckley, Simon Bird, and Blake Harrison. The potential reunion would bring together the quartet that captured audiences' hearts with their misadventures and awkward moments.
Possible Storylines
While details are scarce, Thomas hinted at some ideas being considered for the revival:
A stag party in Las Vegas
The group meeting for five-a-side football matches
These scenarios would reflect the characters' growth and current life stages, a significant departure from their school days.
Cautious Optimism
Despite the excitement, Thomas acknowledges there's a shared concern among the cast about maintaining the quality that made the original so popular. "Everybody's anxiety would be, 'Will it be as good?'. That is what we would be going in with," he admitted.
The Inbetweeners' Legacy
The comedy, which also featured Emily Atack, ran for three series between 2008 and 2010, gaining a devoted following. However, it was the subsequent films in 2011 and 2014 that catapulted "The Inbetweeners" to widespread popularity.
The second film, which saw the group travel to Australia, broke box office records by taking £2.75 million on its opening day in the UK.
Cultural Impact
The show's impact on popular culture remains evident, with Simon Bird noting that he still occasionally hears fans shouting catchphrases from the show. The main cast members have come to embrace the show's enduring success as they've moved on to other projects in their careers.
As talks continue, fans of "The Inbetweeners" can remain hopeful for a chance to see their favorite characters return to screens once more, albeit in a new chapter of their lives.
