The cast of The Inbetweeners said they were probably "saying goodbye" to their on-screen alter egos and told fans not expect a trilogy.

Actors Simon Bird, James Buckley, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison were all present on the red carpet for the premiere of the sequel to The Inbetweeners Movie, The Inbetweeners 2.

Bird, 29, who plays Will, said: "Once you see the film you'll see it feels like they've all moved on with their lives, so unfortunately this is it. It's a great way of saying goodbye."

Thomas, 30, who plays Simon, said: "We've had a great time making this film but it can't keep going forever. This is probably it but it's a nice way to go."

Stars at The Inbetweeners 2 premiere

1/16

The Channel 4 sitcom followed Will, Jay, Simon and Neil through the trials of life outside of the high school popular crowd and their first film sent them to Malia on a post-exam boozy break.

In the sequel, the group of mates head Down Under for a gap year trip to Australia, where they might be a little bit older but are still not much wiser and find themselves entangled in the usual humiliating incidents.

Also on the red carpet were Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, who wrote and directed The Inbetweeners 2. It is the first film they have directed.

Show stars including Greg Davies and Martin Tredegar and the film's female lead Emily Berrington were also there.

The Inbetweeners 2 is released in cinemas on August 6.
