The 36-year-old captioned the post: “So glad we grew out of that awkward teenage phase …” Fans immediately swarmed the post, with many demanding them to return for another series. One person wrote: “Will still never get over the fact that you guys only gave us 3 seasons”.
A second simply commented: “Season 4 please.” Echoing this, a third fan shared: “Time to get the band back together lads”. Someone else agreed: “If ever I wanted to see a series come back to our screens then this is it , the best tv series and films comedy wise ever to be put on our tv screens”.

While another chipped in: “Inbetweeners as parents… we’re all waiting.” One year after the series ended, the stars returned for The Inbetweeners Movie which followed the teenagers on holiday in Malia after finishing sixth form. They reunited for the final time in 2014, appearing in The Inbetweeners 2, set in Australia.
James recently revealed he won’t let his children watch the show for “obvious reasons”. The actor shares two sons; Harrison, 11, and Jude, nine, with wife Clair, who he married in 2012.

Speaking on their podcast In Sickness And In Health, James said: “I’ve never been able to impress them! There was an advert once on TV for something I was in… And I remember, because they haven’t seen a lot of the stuff I’ve been in, for obvious reasons.
“And I had to explain to Harrison like ‘you know what your dad does it pretty cool? Like some people are quite impressed.’ And he was like ‘yeah, whatever dad’.”
