After months of reports and speculation, it has now finally been confirmed that a third Inbetweeners film is on the way - and production has already begun.

The new film, titled The Inbetweeners 3, will see Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas reprising their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper.
Meanwhile, the Channel 4 show's original creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, will be returning to write and direct the movie.
Beesley and Morris said in a statement: "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 start of production was announced alongside the release of a short teaser, which sees the friends reunited in Simon's yellow Fiat with one red door - the one which infamously went into a lake at the end of the show's third and final season.
Simon struggles to start the car, before driving it out of a garage. On the back windscreen, the number three is seen written in the dirt.
Last year, distributor Banijay UK and production company Fudge Park Productions, the latter being the company founded by Morris and Beesley, struck an agreement to pave "the way for the return of the hit comedy title".

In a statement at the time, Morris and Beesley said: "Incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh friends)."
At that point, it wasn't clear whether the new iteration of The Inbetweeners, which was a school-based sitcom followed by two seasons set shortly after the characters had left school, would be a reboot or a revival. Now, it is clear that the team has gone down the latter route.
The Inbetweeners is available to stream on Channel 4. The Inbetweeners 3 will stream on Netflix. You can sign up to Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky TV and Virgin Media.
