Inbetweeners Star's Update Dashes Hopes for New Season
Fans of the iconic British sitcom The Inbetweeners have been holding onto a glimmer of hope for a reunion or even a new season, but recent comments from one of the stars have unfortunately dashed those expectations.
Joe Thomas, who played the lovable and awkward Simon Cooper in the series, recently spoke out about the possibility of a revival. While he expressed fond memories of the show and his time working with the cast, he admitted that a new season is unlikely to happen.
"I think we're all at a point in our careers where we're doing different things," Thomas said in an interview. "It's difficult to imagine getting everyone back together for a new season. It would be a big ask, and I'm not sure if it would be worth it."
This statement comes as a blow to fans who have been clamoring for more of the awkward and hilarious adventures of Simon, Will, Jay, and Neil. The show, which aired from 2008 to 2010, achieved cult status and remains a popular rewatch option for its relatable humor and cringeworthy moments.
While a full-blown new season may not be in the cards, Thomas did hint at the possibility of a special or a one-off reunion episode. He expressed interest in exploring the characters' lives now, years after their time at Rudge Park Comprehensive.
"I think it would be fun to see where they are now, but I don't know if it would work as a full-fledged season," he said. "Maybe a special or something like that could be fun."
Despite the lack of concrete plans for a revival, fans can still enjoy the original three seasons and the 2011 movie, which served as a fitting end to the characters' journey. The Inbetweeners remains a beloved classic and a testament to the power of great writing, relatable characters, and a healthy dose of awkward humor.
While a new season may be a distant dream, the possibility of a reunion special keeps the hope alive for more Inbetweeners shenanigans. Until then, fans can continue to enjoy the original episodes and dream of the day they see their favorite characters back on their screens.
