James Buckley shares reunion picture teasing new Inbetweeners series

James Dawson

It’s got fans very excited.

James Buckley – AKA Jay from The Inbetweeners – shared a picture to social media last night that either made every fan’s dream come true or was a massive, massive troll. Probably the latter.

After meeting up with his co-stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison from the classic Channel 4 show, he captioned a picture of them together: “Inbetweeners series 4 pre production meal.”

The reunion comes days after the 10th anniversary of the show’s first episode.

Tens of thousands of people have favourited and retweeted the post, with fans asking the actor if what he was saying was true or just a wind-up. Though, sadly, he has yet to respond.

The good news, however, is that in a previous interview, Joe Thomas (Simon) was optimistic about a potential reunion – although it would likely be a bit different than the show’s original incarnation.

He told The Sun: “I think that we are ­definitely too old now to do anything that is set in a sixth form. If it’s the case that you want to do a show about some sixth formers then obviously we can’t be involved in that, with the best will in the world. But we could do the ­originals ten years down the line, married with kids.”

He added: “I mean, we can do that now. I would jump at any chance to work with those guys again — in any context, really.”
