By Today News Hours Editorial Desk

Netflix announced on September 7, 2026, that production has officially begun in the United Kingdom on The Inbetweeners 3, a new feature film continuing the story of the popular sitcom and its two previous record-breaking movies.

Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas will return to play their original characters — Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper.

The film will be written and directed by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, the original creators of The Inbetweeners. It will be produced by Claire Jones, along with Patrick Holland of Banijay and Mark Lesbirel of Fudge Park Productions. Caroline Levy, Caroline Leddy, Phil Gilbert, Suzanne Knight, Tom Jordan, Farhana Bhula, Iain Morris and Damon Beesley will serve as executive producers.

In a joint statement, Beesley and Morris said, "It's been super-fun hanging out with our friends again, and we're going to work hard every week to ensure there are no problemos making this new film for humans."

The Inbetweeners originally aired on Channel 4 between 2008 and 2010, following suburban teenager Will McKenzie and his friends Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland and Jay Cartwright as they navigated school life, friendship and awkward romantic mishaps at the fictional Rudge Park Comprehensive. The show ran for three series, breaking ratings records for the channel and winning several awards.

Two Film4-backed movie adaptations followed, released in 2011 and 2014. The first film debuted at No. 1 at the box office and set a record at the time for the biggest opening weekend for a UK comedy. The sequel also broke box office records.

Netflix, one of the world's leading entertainment platforms, offers series, films, games and live programming across many genres and languages, allowing members to watch content anytime and adjust their subscription plans as needed.
