What is The Inbetweeners 3 about?
The Inbetweeners 3 continues the story of Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Simon Cooper and Neil Sutherland, more than a decade on from where The Inbetweeners 2 left off. Netflix and the production team have kept the plot under wraps. The only clue so far comes from the first teaser, which shows the group reunited with Simon’s battered yellow Fiat Cinquecento, struggling to get it started. Netflix has not revealed the premise.
Fans should treat any storyline claims circulating online as speculation until Netflix confirms further details.
Who is returning for The Inbetweeners 3?
Netflix confirmed that all four leads from the original sitcom and films are back.
| Character | Actor |

| Neil Sutherland | Blake Harrison |
| Simon Cooper | Joe Thomas |
Series creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have returned to write and direct the film. It will be produced by Claire Jones alongside Patrick Holland from Banijay and Mark Lesbirel from Fudge Park Productions.
Netflix has only confirmed the four main characters so far. Details about returning supporting characters, including Charlotte Hinchcliffe (Emily Atack) and Carli D’Amato (Emily Head), have not yet been announced.
Is there a release date for The Inbetweeners 3?
No official release date has been announced. Filming only started on 7 September 2026, so Netflix has not confirmed when the film will land on the platform. Given typical timelines for a comedy feature of this scale, a 2027 release is plausible, but this has not been confirmed by Netflix and readers should be wary of any site claiming an exact date at this stage.
Is there a trailer for The Inbetweeners 3?
Netflix has released a first-look teaser announcing the film’s production, but a full trailer has not yet been released. The teaser shows the four leads getting back into the iconic Fiat Cinquecento. A complete trailer is expected closer to release, once Netflix confirms a date.

Why are fans excited about The Inbetweeners 3?
The reunion has generated strong interest for a few reasons:

- Nostalgia value, given how popular the first two films were at the UK box office
- It is the franchise’s first new film in over a decade
- Netflix brings the series to a new streaming audience alongside its existing fanbase
The Inbetweeners films so far
The Inbetweeners began as an E4 sitcom, running for three series between 2008 and 2010. It was followed by two films: The Inbetweeners Movie in 2011 and The Inbetweeners 2 in 2014, both UK box office successes. The Inbetweeners 3 will be the franchise’s first major screen instalment in more than a decade, and the first film released through Netflix.
