The Inbetweeners movie sequel confirmed

The Inbetweeners co-creator Damon Beesley has confirmed plans for a movie sequel.

Beesley revealed that a follow-up to 2011’s The Inbetweeners Movie is currently in the early stages, which will see Joe Thomas, James Buckley, Simon Bird and Blake Harrison return for a second outing.

“I don’t want to give too much away at this stage but yes, we have been developing an idea for a sequel,” he told The Sun.

“We miss working with Simon, Joe, James and even Blake too much not to give it a go.”

Co-creator Iain Morris also confirmed Beesley’s comment on Twitter. When asked if the movie plans were true, he said: “Yes, but it’s far from signed and like Damon said we want to make sure we have a good enough story to tell.”

Beesley added that he hoped “to make sure that we can do justice to a follow-up”.

The film’s four stars will reportedly net £2.5 million ($4 million) each in the project, after getting up to £500,000 ($787,177) in total from the first instalment.

A source added: “The Inbetweeners took off like a rocket, far beyond many expectations.

“The budget was low and no one got shedloads of money up front, so understandably everyone wants to cash in the second time round.”
