When is The Inbetweeners 3 being released?
Netflix has confirmed that The Inbetweeners 3 is officially in production, but a release date has not yet been announced.
Filming is due to begin on Monday, with further details about the movie expected as production gets underway.

Who is in The Inbetweeners 3 cast?
Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas will all return for the new film.
They will reprise their respective roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper.
The four actors originally played the characters throughout all three seasons of The Inbetweeners, which aired on E4 between 2008 and 2010.
The rest of the cast has not yet been confirmed.

What is The Inbetweeners 3 about?
Netflix has not revealed the full storyline for the third movie.
However, the film will continue the story of Will, Simon, Neil and Jay as they reunite once again.
A teaser released alongside the announcement gives fans their first glimpse of the gang back together.
The clip shows the four friends getting into their famous yellow Fiat, with Simon struggling to get the car started.
After some encouragement from the others, the engine finally kicks into life and the group drive away from what appears to be a storage unit.
Who created The Inbetweeners 3?
The new film is being written and directed by The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris.
The pair were behind the original sitcom and are returning to work with the original characters for the third movie.
Beesley and Morris said it had been "super fun" hanging out with friends again.

"We're going to work hard every week to ensure there are no problemos making this new film for humans," they added.
When did The Inbetweeners first air?
The Inbetweeners first aired on E4 in 2008 and quickly became one of Britain's most recognisable coming-of-age comedies.
The sitcom followed Will, Simon, Jay and Neil as they navigated life as suburban teenagers at the fictional Rudge Park Comprehensive.
Across three series, the characters became known for their disastrous attempts to impress girls, survive school and find their place among their friends.
The show originally ran until 2010.
How many Inbetweeners films have there been?
The new Netflix movie will be the third feature film based on The Inbetweeners.
The first movie, The Inbetweeners Movie, was released in 2011 and followed the four friends on a holiday to Crete.
A second film, The Inbetweeners 2, followed in 2014 and saw the group head to Australia.
Both films were backed by Film4.
The third instalment will now bring the original four characters back together more than a decade after the second movie.
Why is The Inbetweeners still so popular?
The Inbetweeners has remained hugely popular years after the original series ended.
Clips and memorable moments from the sitcom have continued to find new audiences on social media, while the two existing movies have helped keep the characters familiar to a new generation.
The return of Simon, Jay, Neil and Will is therefore likely to be one of the biggest nostalgia comebacks for fans of British comedy.
