The Inbetweeners Movie 2 has been confirmed, and will arrive in cinemas across the UK in August 2014.
The film will see Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison returning to their roles as Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, four hapless teenagers awkwardly making their way through education and the inevitable trials and tribulations that come with it.
The original Inbetweeners Movie proved to be the most successful UK comedy film of all time, placing the boys in Malia as they tried to overcome all the obstacles that inevitably befall those attending their first “lads holiday.” This time the cast will be venturing to Australia, and creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley are excited for what lies ahead. Speaking in a Channel 4 press release, Morris and Beesley said: “We couldn’t be more excited to be making another Inbetweeners movie with Simon, Joe, James and Blake. Frankly it’s pathetic how much we’ve all missed each other. A new chapter in the lives of the Inbetweeners feels like the very least we can do to thank the fans for their phenomenal response to the first movie.”
Its predecessor raked in £45million at the UK Box Office, so The Inbetweeners Movie 2 certainly has a lot to live up to. Hopefully it’ll get rid of the sour taste that was left in our mouths by the awful US remake of the show, which was canned after just one series.
