The Netflix Inbetweeners movie has entered production in the United Kingdom, bringing the original four leads back for a third feature film. The announcement gives the long-running comedy franchise a confirmed production update, although Netflix has not announced a release date.

Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas will reprise their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper. Netflix’s announcement identifies the project as a continuation of the sitcom and its two earlier films.

The film also reunites the creators. Damon Beesley and Iain Morris are returning as writers and directors. Claire Jones is producing alongside Banijay’s Patrick Holland and Fudge Park Production’s Mark Lesbirel. The production has support from Film4, according to Screen Daily’s report on the start of filming.

The project is moving ahead in the United Kingdom after Netflix released the production news on Sept. 7. The Guardian separately reported that the original cast members are returning and that the film follows the Channel 4 comedy, which ran from 2008 to 2010.

The earlier screen history is part of the reason the announcement has drawn attention. The television series followed four friends through school, friendship and awkward attempts at growing up. It was followed by films released in 2011 and 2014. Screen Daily described both earlier features as successful in the UK and Ireland.

Netflix has not published a plot summary for the new film in the production announcement. That leaves the confirmed story focused on the return of the cast, the reunion of the writers and directors, and the beginning of filming rather than on unannounced story details.

The production update also does not establish where the film will premiere or when it will be available to stream. Those details may be announced later by Netflix or the production partners. For now, the official information is limited to the title, the returning cast, the creative team and the fact that filming is underway.

The new movie is therefore a confirmed production, not a confirmed release. Viewers searching for The Inbetweeners movie news should treat any claimed date, additional cast list or plot outline as unconfirmed unless it comes from Netflix, the production companies or established reporting that cites a direct announcement.
