'Inbetweeners' set for return

'The Inbetweeners' is returning for a surprise fourth series.

'The Inbetweeners' is returning for a surprise fourth series.

The TV show – which tells the tale of school boys Will, Simon, Neil and Jay and their escapades – will be making a comeback after the success of a big-screen instalment, but James Buckley, who plays Jay, has confirmed one of the characters will be killed off.

He said: "We have to see what happens. Maybe one of them dies and the other three have to join up for the funeral.

"But the question is, who are they gonna get rid of?"

According to the Daily Star, the new series would see the boys starting at college or going on in their working lives.

The film version – which saw the group head off to the Greek island of Crete on a summer holiday to celebrate their departure from school - made £45m (€55m) at the box office, despite a production budget of just £3.5 million.

Simon Bird – who plays unlucky-in-love Will in the series – previously claimed making the movie was "carnage".

He said: "We filmed in Malia in May and I think it just proved to us that we had to come back in winter because it was basically impossible to get anything done.

"Briefcase w****r is the catchphrase people usually yelled at me. We had a certain level of security with the film, so when there's a scene being shot the road will be closed off. But we were overrun in Malia, there were just more people than we could deal with. It was carnage."
