The Inbetweeners’ Joe Thomas said he’d be up for doing it
The Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas has said there have been conversations about how a possible comeback for the iconic comedy could happen.
Appearing on the Always be Comedy with James Gill podcast, Thomas was naturally asked whether there had been any discussions on the possibility that we might ever see more of The Inbetweeners.
When you do something as big as The Inbetweeners, you’re pretty much going to be asked about it for the rest of your life.
We’ve had three series, two movies and a reunion special but it’s been five years since the last Inbetweeners thing and 10 years since we last saw the actual characters on screens.
Thomas was quizzed on whether he would ‘get the gang back together’ if The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris said they wanted to bring the show back in some form or another.
When asked ‘has that conversation ever happened’, the Inbetweeners star said it had ‘happened in various forms and all of us feel like it would be nice’.

He spoke about how highly he thought of Simon Bird, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, adding that he would ‘always work with them again’ and described what a possible Inbetweeners comeback could look like.
Thomas reckoned that it would probably have to be a film and not a series, and wondered how they’d tackle the fact that he was now 40.
It’s not like the boys could all meet up back at school, as he floated the possibility of some kind of ‘stag do’ to Las Vegas, but then said we wouldn’t really be seeing Simon, Will, Jay and Neil as they normally were if that was happening.
The idea of the quartet being part of a five-a-side team together so they could stay in touch as adults was also suggested.
“I don’t think they could do another series. You’d have to be a movie. You’d have to have a very, very clever device for doing another series,” he said.
“A movie, I think works with the right idea. It would be challenging to do another series, just because of the timeline. But with the film, there are all sorts of options.”

In the past some cast members have said they probably wouldn’t return to The Inbetweeners, with James Buckley and Simon Bird agreeing that it would be ‘sad and creepy’ to go back now they’re in their 30s and 40s.
It wouldn’t be the show we all loved, but Joe Thomas told Always Be Comedy that everyone involved still likes each other and if there was a good enough idea something could happen.
He said: “We’re all still around, we’re all still in each other’s lives. We all still like each other. And if it was something that came up, I think we would want to do it.
“I feel like we all still really like each other. We’ve all been able to go away and get various monkeys off our backs, in terms of things that we felt we needed to do other than The Inbetweeners to prove something to ourselves.
“Everybody’s anxiety would be, ‘Will it be as good?’. That is what we would be going in with.”
Would you be up for a third Inbetweeners movie where the boys are married with mortgages?
