The Inbetweeners Season 4 Rumours Denied By Co-Creator
The Inbetweeners co-creators say a fourth series is not being worked on right now.
The Inbetweeners co-creator Iain Morris has denied rumours that the hit show is set to return for a fourth series. The Daily Star reported yesterday that a new series was in the works and even quoted James Buckley - who plays Jay in the E4 comedy - to say it was happening, allegedly hinting that one of the characters would even be killed off. "Maybe one of them dies and the other three have to join up for the funeral," Buckley was quoted as saying during a trip to the States. "But the question is - who are they gonna get rid of?". Morris took to Twitter and dismissed the claims outright by replying to a user's question with"is 'total b*llocks' succinct enough? for those that care, the last time james was in the US was my wedding last year, so the story is either a; v old or b; totally made up". Writer and the other co-creator of the show Damon Beesley added;
"the thing about the daily star story is that people are getting excited, and now we look a**eholes by just maintaining our position "it's really unfair of them, and i'm sorry if it got you excited. I really am. i seem to have disappointed quite a lot of people today by doing nothing. i'm genuinely sorry hopes were raised, but i didn't raise them."James Buckley and the other cast members of The Inbetweeners - Joe Thomas (Simon Cooper), Simon Bird (Will McKenzie) and Blake Harrison (Neil Sutherland) - have all distanced themselves from another series with the big-screen film The Inbetweeners Movie seen as the last hurrah for a while. However after that film grossed a massive $76 million in the UK alone, becoming one of the biggest ever Brit films of all time, a sequel seems a certainty within the next couple of years. There was enough hints in the last series and movie that the next chapter for the Inbetweeners would revolve around a university setting.
