Bus wankers, briefcase wankers, and now… Netflix wankers? A Inbetweeners reunion movie is in the works at Netflix, with the original four leads understood to be attached while final deals are still being locked. Netflix has declined to comment. The rights path that made any of this possible is already on the record.

The Banijay unlock that started it
In late 2025, rights holder Banijay UK announced a deal with creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley via their company Fudge Park Productions. Banijay’s own framing: the agreement “paves the way for the return of the hit comedy title” across film, TV, and stage after the rights tangle that followed Bwark’s sale into Zodiak/Banijay.
Fudge Park MD Jonathan Blyth said at the time:
We are thrilled to announce this exciting partnership with Banijay who share our vision and ambition for one of the most iconic comedies in British history. This is a wonderful moment for fans, there are exciting conversations afoot and more news to follow….
