It’s been 12 years since the one-generation show, The Inbetweeners, ended. The show originally aired on E4 from 2008 and ran for three series and spun into two feature films that combined over £ 150 million.
There was also a television reunion, Fwends Reunited, which was … slightly difficult, but nonetheless, fans still loved the very teenage-humorous comedy that brought a lot of nasty moments and inappropriate fingertips.
Most recently, Neil – played by Blake Harrison – will be performing at The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, in March 2022 and you can read more about it, here.

Simon Bird – Will
Simon, 37, who played the nerdy but lovely Will McKenzie, is arguably the most successful of the top four bet winners. Since The Inbetweeners, Bird has played the most famous Channel 4 sitcom Friday Night Dinner, earning higher viewers than even The Inbetweeners. He also directed a film called Days of the Bagnold Summer, which premiered in 2019.
Simon married Lisa Owens in 2012, whom he met during his time at Cambridge University, and has two children with her.

Joe, 38, who played the impossible not to root for Simon Cooper, has had a similarly successful career since the conclusion of The Inbetweeners. From the back of his Inbetweeners fame, he was cast as Kingsley Owen in the university-based sitcom Fresh Meat alongside Jack Whitehall. Joe has also worked with The Inbetweeners creators on the 2018 film The Festival and the BBC’s 1980s comedy drama White Gold, which also starred Ed Westwick in Gossips Girl. He additionally appeared in series eight of Channel Four’s celebrity game show Taskmaster.
Joe is currently engaged to his one-time Inbetweeners love interest Hannah Tointon which shows that he has not picked up any tips from his unfortunate Inbetweeners character Simon.
James Buckley – Jay
James, 34, is still best remembered for his iconic portrait of Jay Cartwright, the tragically funny know-it-all. But the Croydon-born actor is still very busy. He embodied the childhood version of Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses Prequel Rock & Chips and co-starred in White Gold with Joe Thomas.
In addition, James washed himself in several avenues to act away from the screen. He runs two YouTube channels, a game channel called Completed It Mate (a reference to The Inbetweeners) and a vlog channel called At Home With The Buckleys, which Buckley runs with his wife of 10 years. In addition, Buckley is productive on the Cameo app and produces over 10,000 videos for his fans, with an estimated profit of £ 300,000.
Blake Harrison – Neil

Harrison was Private Pike in the 2016 Dad’s Army movie remake of the classic series.
He still acts frequently, most recently in Doctor Who and The Great. He is also the voice of Scoop in Bob the Builder. Currently, Harrison is also organizing a UFC podcast called The MMA Fan Podcast. Blake has been living in Kent with his wife, Dawn Keenan since 2016, and his two children.
