Inbetweeners creators hope to work with cast again

The Inbetweeners creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley aren't quite done with the cast of the sitcom just yet.

Together, the pair have just created the brand-new football comedy series The First Team, which stars the likes of Will Arnett and Chris Geere.

And while there may be plenty more projects the pair explore first, they've made it clear that they intend to reunite with The Inbetweeners boys at some point in the future, even if it's for a completely different show.
