Netflix Starts The Inbetweeners 3 in UK, Reviving a Franchise Last Seen in 2014

Summary
Production on The Inbetweeners 3 began in the UK on Sept. 7, with Netflix reviving the comedy franchise more than 12 years after the second film.
All 4 original stars — Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas — are returning, while creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris are back to write and direct.
The film extends a series that ran on Channel 4 from 2008 to 2010, then spawned 2 Film4-backed movies released in 2011 and 2014.
That track record helps explain Netflix’s bet: the first movie opened at No. 1 and set what was then a UK comedy record for opening weekend, with the sequel also breaking box-office records.
