The Inbetweeners was an American comedy television series developed by Brad Copeland for MTV. The show stars Joey Pollari, Bubba Lewis, Mark L. Young, Zack Pearlman, Alex Frnka and Brett Gelman. The show is a remake of the original UK series of the same name written and created by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, who serve as executive producers alongside Copeland, Aaron Kaplan and Lauren Corra. The show premiered on MTV on August 20, 2012. On November 28, 2012, MTV decided to cancel the show due to low ratings.
After an unsuccessful attempt by ABC to create an American version of The Inbetweeners in 2008, MTV announced in late September, 2010 that it had hired noted comedy writer Brad Copeland (known for writing on American comedies such as Arrested Development and My Name Is Earl) to write the script for an American Inbetweeners series.Taika Waititi was chosen to direct the pilot.
On March 31, 2011, MTV officially announced that it had picked-up The Inbetweeners for an additional eleven episodes, creating a twelve-episode first season. Copeland served as executive producer and showrunner.
Late November 2012 brought the news that MTV had decided not to go forward with a second season of the series.MTV said to The Wrap, "While we won't be moving forward with another season of The Inbetweeners, we enjoyed working with the show's creators and such a talented, funny cast."
The American version was also extremely unpopular with British viewers, with many newspapers reporting that it had 'flopped'. It was listed by Metro as one of the 'Top 10 British comedies whose US remakes have flopped'.
