    What "The Inbetweeners" Did Next

    Two new sitcoms starring three-quarters of The Inbetweeners start next week. Here's everything you need to know about Chickens and Big Bad World.

    Everyone is very excited that there's going to be another Inbetweeners movie.

    But that isn't all that the boys are up to.

    Chickens is the new project from writers and actors Simon Bird and Joe Thompson, along with friend Jonny Sweet. And it's a sitcom set in the First World War.

    Sir Barry Humphries stars in a recurring role as the lecherous headmaster at George's school.

    Emerald Fennell plays Agnes, Cecil’s sister.

    The other female lead is Winky, played by Sarah Daykin.

    Still, there are going to be some concerns about setting a sitcom in the First World War.

    The show was first piloted by Channel 4, who passed on the project before Sky picked it up.

    Early criticism was that this was just The Inbetweeners in period costume.

    Big Bad World starring Blake Harrison is a lot more different from The Inbetweeners.

    It's topical and it has a lot of heart.

    The guest cast is fantastic.
