I'm not alone in those thoughts, as it grossed £13.2 million in it's opening weekend (the highest ever for a comedy in the UK), going on to make over £45 million by the end of it's run. Not to mention selling over half a million copies on DVD on it's release day! Everyone and their Mum likes The Inbetweeners.
So it was only a matter of time before rumours of a sequel had surfaced. And have surfaced every few months since. The shows creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have spoken about it time after time, denying these rumours, stating that unless they had a good idea, they wouldn't be doing it. Apparently they're not in it for the money. I respect that. Nothing worse than cashing in and making a poor sequel. I'd respect it more though had this not have happened:
But it did. Thankfully it was indeed killed with fire before it could lay movie eggs. How will they recover from this though?!
Well rumours of a movie sequel are afoot again. According to the Sun, they're all returning and this time it'll see the lads head Down Under. The Sun seem to always have these exclusives so I always read them with a pinch of salt. HOWEVER, this time these rumours weren't squashed!! Well, not quite. This is from the official facebook page:

'Fwends' - we told you you'd be the first to hear about Inbetweeners
stuff, and although that's still true The Sun went rifling and found
some stuff out about a sequel. Nothing's signed yet, and Australia is
just one of the ideas we're kicking around, but we hope to have a new
and definitiely final film for you some time next year.
