HIT comedy The Inbetweeners is poised to return next year — with its four stars all keen to reunite.
The show’s creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley said: “It’s incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh, friends)”.

The pair have struck a deal with production giant Banijay UK.
Its chief exec, Patrick Holland, said he was “delighted to pick up the conversation about the future of The Inbetweeners with them”.
He added: “They have an infectious creative vision for the brand which will resonate with audiences old and new.”
The company said the deal “unlocks the rights and potential to bring The Inbetweeners back for new audiences across a range of platforms including film, tv and stage”.
Actor Joe Thomas, 41, who played Simon said last year that the four main stars would all be keen to reboot the show.
Asked if conversations for a comeback had started, he said: “Yes, it’s happened in various forms.
“All of us feel it would be nice to do.”
He said all were still good mates and told a podcast: “We’re all still around.
“We’re all still in each other’s lives. We all still like each other.
“And if it was something that came up, I think we would want to do it.”
The coming-of-age show had three TV series on E4 from 2008 to 2010, plus films in 2011 and 2014.
It starred Joe, Simon Bird as Will, James Buckley as Jay and Blake Harrison as Neil.
Emily Atack, 35, was also a regular, playing Charlotte, one year above the high school lads, who briefly dated Will.
The new deal could see the show return as a TV series, film, stage show or all three.
