Inbetweeners Cast Reunion: A Decade of New Ventures

A decade after the screen foursome last appeared together, ‘The Inbetweeners’ much-loved cast are reportedly preparing for a reunion that is bound to excite fans of the UK’s favourite sitcom. ITV star Joe Thomas, who portrayed Simon Cooper, revealed talks are ongoing, and the project will likely not take the form of a TV series but a new movie.

The main cast have pursued different paths in both their professional and private lives in the ten years since the show ended and the two subsequent films were made, grossing nearly $90 million.

Simon Bird, ‘Will’ from ‘The Inbetweeners’, has primarily remained on television and also featured at ‘Friday Night Dinner’ and ‘Everyone Else Burns’. He has also worked in directing and acting and starred in the West End play ‘The Philanthropist.’ Off-set he lives a quiet family life with his wife, Lisa Owens, and their two sons.

Joe Thomas not only made a living in a few acting appearances in the ‘Fresh Meat’ and ‘White Gold’ series, but he also found personal happiness with his girlfriend Hannah Tointon, whom he met when they worked together. They recently welcomed their first child.

Blake Harrison, ‘Neil’ from ‘The Inbetweeners, tried out other acting engagements in ‘A Very English Scandal’ and also made his voice heard in the new season of ‘Bob the Builder’. He is the ‘MMA Fan Show’ podcast host, in which he talks about his interest in mixed martial arts.

James Buckley earned a small fortune through Cameo thanks to his inclusion in the cult show, becoming the first UK star to crack the $ one million milestone. After ‘The Inbetweeners’, he starred in ‘White Gold’ and also visited the ‘Doctor Who’ series.

The cast potentially reuniting would not only put a smile on fans’ faces but also contribute to the revitalisation of British comedy on a global scale. The original series and films highlight the popularity of peculiar British humour on an international level and the success with which such shows can hold the interest of audiences across the globe.

The reunion will be highly anticipated even though it also raises questions about the development of comedy over the past ten years. With changes in social views and the growing availability of digital platforms, The Inbetweeners brand of humour might need to modernise in order to appeal to both its original audience and younger viewers.

Moreover, the existing tensions between the cast members, reportedly starring James Buckley and Emily Atack, could impact the public’s view of the reunion and the project in general. If the episodes address these issues in a more inclusive and existing view of the relationships between men and women, this might contribute to the reinvention of other legacy show when considering their potential reunions.

The members of the Inbetweeners cast continue to evaluate opportunities in their professional and personal lives considering the successes they have achieved. The reunion will undoubtedly present several challenges to them, but it will also constitute another exciting moment in their careers, as well as in the lives of the viewers. Additionally, it may highlight another trend in the entertainment industry, showcasing the significant impacts of cultural shows and phenomenas on the world and the world of cinema.
