The Inbetweeners are back! Netflix announce third film has started production – with teaser showing stars sitting in Simon's iconic yellow car — Published: 09:11 BST, 7 September 2026 | Updated: 09:56 BST, 7 September 2026
The Inbetweeners are back, with a third movie set to his screens.
It was revealed that filming started on Monday in the UK on The Inbetweeners 3, with Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas reprising their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper.
A teaser clip for the film, saw the foursome sitting in Simon's iconic yellow 1996 Fiat Cinquecento Hawaii edition, with the car failing to start much to their chagrin – as Simon is seeing sighing and saying: 'Oh for f***'s sake. Come on'. 
The news follows months of speculation over the revival of the sitcom, which was originally broadcast on Channel 4 between 2008 and 2010 before the release of two films in 2011 and 2014 and a reunion in 2019. 
Creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have returned to write and direct the film, which will be produced by Claire Jones alongside Banijay's Patrick Holland and Fudge Park Production's Mark Lesbirel.
Damon and Iain said of the film: '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.'

Their statement makes reference to iconic quotes from the show, including the boys teasing Jay over having a new 'Friend' and Neil repeatedly saying: 'No Problemo'. 
They will also serve as executive producers alongside Caroline Levy, Caroline Leddy, Phil Gilbert, Suzanne Knight, Tom Jordan and Farhana Bhula.
Despite excitement over the return, it has been reported that streaming bosses aren't satisfied with just the main men returning – they also want to see Emily Atack, 36, reprise her role as Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe.
The move comes as a surprise after Emily was axed from the Inbetweeners reunion five years ago following a 'past fling' with James.
A source told the publication: 'The creators of the show have written the script and are ready to roll – but Emily is one of the missing pieces in the project they're keen to get in place.
'Fans will already be delighted that the four main leads are returning as there was concern that a reboot might see new, younger actors cast in the roles of the lads, who were all supposed to be teenagers in the show.
