Producers behind the upcoming Netflix revival of The Inbetweeners are reportedly making a major push to secure Emily Atack for a third film in the hit comedy franchise.
According to insider reports, streaming executives and show creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley have already locked in the core four lead actors: Simon Bird (Will), Joe Thomas (Simon), James Buckley (Jay), and Blake Harrison (Neil). This reassures fans that the roles will not be recast with younger actors. However, securing Atack to reprise her fan-favorite role as Charlotte “Big Jugs” Hinchcliffe is seen as a key remaining priority.
Key Details of the Project
- Script Ready: Creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley have already finalized the script for the third movie, following The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014).
- The “Final Piece”: Sources indicate Atack is considered “the cherry on top” for the project, with producers eager to get her on board before production begins.
- Scheduling Challenges: Production timing remains tricky due to the busy schedules of the core cast. Atack herself is currently in high demand, recently starring as Sarah Stratton in Disney+’s hit drama series Rivals.
History with the Franchise
Atack played Charlotte, Will McKenzie’s long-standing crush, across six episodes of the original Channel 4 series between 2008 and 2010. Though a standout character in the TV run, she did not appear in either of the feature-length movies.
Actor James Buckley recently teased that any prospective return to The Inbetweeners universe would stay true to the franchise’s roots, emphasizing that the team aims to preserve the show’s signature crude and unfiltered humor.
