James Buckley leaks plot detail in first set photos for The Inbetweeners 3


The chaotic world of The Inbetweeners is gearing up for a reunion, and the news is dripping with the same brand of delightful absurdity that made the original series iconic. While the production of the third film is underway on Netflix, a recent celebrity moment has thrown a wrench into the plot, revealing a glimpse of what lies ahead.

Star James Buckley, who brings the wonderfully foul-mouthed Jay Cartwright to life, accidentally spilled a major plot detail during a recent Cameo video. While recording a personal message for a fan, Buckley, in costume, seemed to inadvertently confirm something juicy about Jay’s future—specifically, a congratulation to a couple expecting twins.

The video itself was a delightful mix of the series’ signature catchphrases and genuine fan interaction, but it also offered a peek behind the curtain of production. Buckley was seen sporting a blue polo shirt and a hi-vis yellow jacket adorned with a badge reading Cartwright Plant. This small detail hinted at a major shift in Jay’s life, suggesting that his character might be taking on a permanent role at his father’s construction business.

This kind of accidental revelation perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the show, which has always thrived on the characters’ delightful delusions. In the past, viewers have enjoyed Jay bragging about outrageous lies, such as claiming a successful DJ career, which perfectly mirrored the show’s ethos: that the characters were often wonderfully, gloriously delusional.

The creative team, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, are back in charge of helming this new chapter, aiming to ensure that the reunion is filled with the same anarchic fun.

Beyond the celebrity glimpses, the initial on-set photos for The Inbetweeners 3 have also surfaced, offering a glimpse into the cast’s social side. The images feature Buckley alongside co-stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, and Blake Harrison, all dressed in wedding attire, suggesting that the characters are planning a very formal—and perhaps even equally chaotic—event.

The photos also confirm the return of key figures, including Emily Head and Martin Trenaman, further cementing the nostalgic appeal of the group. It’s a reminder that while the characters may be prone to delusion, they are deeply connected by a shared, wonderfully silly history.

As the production continues, the question remains whether this reunion will manage to balance the adolescent chaos of the characters with a touch of maturity, or if it will simply lean further into the delightful absurdity that has made The Inbetweeners an enduring hit.
