The cast of The Inbetweeners (L-R) James Buckley, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and Simon Bird during the National Television Awards 2010.
The TV show was launched on E4 in 2008 and became such a hit that it was immediately commissioned for a second series and bumped up to Channel 4's main line-up.
After three series and steadily increasing viewing figures, it was announced that the story of the quartet of British sixth-form students would come to an end with a feature film.
That film, about the gruesome love failures of four school friends Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, who went on a booze-fuelled coming-of-age holiday in Malia, Crete, became the biggest surprise hit of 2011.
Taking £45 million at the summer box office, a healthy return on a £3.5m production budget, it earned the most money on an opening weekend ever, beating previous record holders Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and The Hangover: Part 2.
What would you like to see happen in The Inbetweeners Movie sequel?
PHOTOS: This sequel is in demand, but here are some that were really just unnecessary...
Unnecessary Sequels
'Teen Wolf Too'(01 of14)
Open Image Modal
Grammar jokes! The key to any good movie sequel? Jason Bateman gamely mocked his first movie role with Jimmy Fallon last year.
'American Reunion'(02 of14)
Open Image Modal
Nine years after "American Wedding," Universal got the "American Pie" gang back together for their 12-year high school reunion. Unfortunately, audiences didn't care: the fourth film in the franchise earned just $56 million after its release this April, roughly half of what "Wedding" grabbed. Stale pie, anyone? (Groan, but really.)
'Cars 2'(03 of14)
Open Image Modal
Despite massive ticket sales and toy-merchandising revenue, "Cars" was the least-liked Pixar film -- at least judging from Rotten Tomatoes, where it received just a 74 percent positive rating from critics. Of course, critics don't pay the bills, and Pixar went ahead with "Cars 2" -- a sequel that was seemingly unnecessary for everyone but the Disney accountants. The film grossed $559 million worldwide last year.
'Jaws: The Revenge'(04 of14)
Open Image Modal
"Jaws 3D" couldn't kill the "Jaws" franchise, but making it personal sure could! "Jaws: The Revenge" cast original "Jaws" star Lorraine Gray -- who played Chief Brody's wife, Ellen -- in the film alongside Michael Caine and a revenge-seeking shark. And you thought movies were bad nowadays!
'Speed 2: Cruise Control'(05 of14)
Open Image Modal
The original "Speed" was a sleeper hit with critics and audiences. Its sequel -- which recast Keanu Reeves with Jason Patric, but kept Sandra Bullock -- was not. Pop quiz, hot shot: you're on a cruise ship that has to stay above 20 knots? Ugh, never mind.
'Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'(06 of14)
Open Image Modal
"You know what the Indiana Jones franchise needs after the perfect ending of 'The Last Crusade'? A movie where Indy fights aliens!" -- No one.
'Major League II'(07 of14)
Open Image Modal
All the stuff you loved about "Major League" disappears in this grating sequel -- which actually spawned another sequel, "Major League: Back to the Minors." Back when he was winning and hashtagging, Charlie Sheen threatened to make "Major League 4," but that hasn't happened. Yet.
'Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace'(08 of14)
Open Image Modal
Technically not a sequel, but it's hard to argue with the "Star Wars" prequels being necessary. After all, they pretty much ruined "Star Wars" for a generation of Original Trilogy fans. (Just us?)
'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'(09 of14)
Open Image Modal
More like "Wall Street: Puts You To Sleep." Oliver Stone's ill-fated sequel to "Wall Street" felt toothless, especially in the wake of superior films about the 2008 financial collapse, like "Margin Call."
'Dumb & Dumberer'(10 of14)
Open Image Modal
Don't take our word for it that "Dumb & Dumberer" was unnecessary, listen to original "Dumb & Dumber" director Peter Farrelly. "You know, I never saw it. That's the truth," he told HuffPost.
'The Godfather Part III'(11 of14)
Open Image Modal
Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in with an unnecessary -- though not totally bad -- threquel to the classic first parts of "The Godfather." Anyone want some gnocchi?
'Caddyshack II'(12 of14)

Rodney Dangerfield >>>>>>>>>> Jackie Mason.
'Basic Instinct 2'(13 of14)
Open Image Modal
Actual IMDb plot summary for "Basic Instinct 2," which arrived in theaters 14 years after the sexy-stylish first film: "Novelist Catherine Tramell is once again in trouble with the law, and Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass to evaluate her." OK, then, Scotland Yard! Perhaps Sharon Stone needed the check.
'Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2'(14 of14)
Open Image Modal
Let's make a sequel to the shaky-cam faux-documentary sensation that was "The Blair Witch Project," but without the shaky-cam faux-documentary part. Good call, all!
