So our beloved Inbetweeners have made it so big, that MTV USA has decided to make their own version of the show – which is great news! The bad news is that their version won't star our much-loved actors Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and James Buckley but instead there will four brand new fellas playing the cheeky characters of Simon, Will, Neil and Jay.
So here's the first promotional shot from the US version – as you can see, although the faces have changed, Simon's bright yellow Cinquecento has remained the same. As has Will's briefcase. Hurrah!
The Inbetweeners USA is due to kick off in the States on 20 August and will be aired on MTV, while the Brit' flick starring our originals will be released in America in September.
Thankfully, it seems the crew behind the original cast are loving what America have done with the show – despite some of the jokes getting a little bit lost in translation.
Anthony Head, who played Will's dad in the film, admitted, "I have to say, sometimes you wonder about translations [but] it's good actually. They followed [the original] very close. It's themes are pretty common."
It's not known yet whether we'll get a chance to see the series over here in the UK yet, but if it is successful, we bet it'll just be a matter of time before it's sent across the pond. In the meantime, we'll just have to keep hoping Joe, Simon, Blake and Jay decide they missing playing filthy-mouthed sixth-formers so much that they come back to announce a sequel to the movie. Now that would make us very happy.
