A beloved British sitcom will make its long-awaited comeback after 15 years. The revival ushers in a new era for the hit comedy. It reunites the original creators and teases fresh adventures for its unforgettable characters.

The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have confirmed the comedy’s return after more than a decade. Fudge Park Productions partnered with Banijay UK to “pave the way for the return of the hit comedy.” In a joint statement, the two said, “Incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh friends)” (via The Independent).

According to Banijay UK, the new agreement unlocks rights “to bring The Inbetweeners back for new audiences across a range of platforms including film, TV, and stage.” Banijay UK CEO Patrick Holland said he was “delighted to pick up the conversation about the future of The Inbetweeners.” He added that the creators’ “infectious creative vision for the brand” will connect with both longtime and new fans.

The original E4 sitcom aired between 2008 and 2010. It followed four friends: Will McKenzie (Simon Bird), Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas), Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison), and Jay Cartwright (James Buckley).

The show became a cultural phenomenon and won a BAFTA Audience Award. It also inspired two hit films, The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014). Together, the films grossed over £100 million worldwide.

Fudge Park’s managing director, Jonathan Blyth, said, “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 added that “exciting conversations are afoot and more news to follow.”

Joe Thomas recently confirmed that the cast is open to reuniting, though the format of the revival remains uncertain. He said the team has discussed “a stag do in Las Vegas” as a possible premise.
