Actor Simon Bird has hinted he could reunite with his Inbetweeners co-stars for a third film.
The 37-year-old admits “anything’s possible” regarding the future of the franchise, in which he starred with Blake Harrison, James Buckley and Joe Thomas from 2008 to 2010 – followed by two films.
However, he is reluctant to play an older version of his character Will McKenzie in a small screen return.
When asked if there was a chance of the main characters playing “embarrassing parents”, he said: “It’s a hard no, I’m afraid, much better to leave it as a happy memory.”
Despite confirming that the group will not reunite for a fourth season, Simon did suggest that another film could be on the way in the not so near future.

“Cut to us all doing a third film for Netflix next year, anything’s possible,” he teased to The Guardian.
Simon spoke after James Buckley, who played sex-mad Jay Cartwright in the E4 comedy, recently said: “All we did was muck around all day long and they filmed us doing it, and, at the end of the day, we might have had an episode … or a film or something.
“But it might – you know, as I’m getting older – it’s looking like it might be the only thing that I do professionally that is universally loved.

“As I’m getting older it’s looking like it might be the only thing I do professionally that is universally loved.
“There’s not enough money in the world for me to spoil that.”
Speaking to Radio X presenter Chris Moyles on his breakfast show, James added: “You can either go two ways with that.
“You can sit there and sort of go, ‘Oh, that’s not me, I’d like to move on and do other things now,’ or you can sit there and go, ‘You know, I quite liked doing it and I thought it was fun at the time, and people seem to still enjoy it.’

“As an actor, it’s difficult professionally for me to move away from that character.
“But you can’t have it all, can you? You can’t be in a big hit sitcom and then moan about it after!”
Buckley and his Inbetweeners co-stars took part in a 10th-anniversary special, called Fwends Reunited, on Channel 4 on New Year’s Day in 2019.
