Starting January 25th, BBC America brings to the US “a comedy for the Facebook generation” with the American premiere of The Inbetweeners. The Inbetweeners “offers a painfully funny take on the squirming humiliations of teenage life” from a British perspective. Written and created by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris (Peep Show, Flight of the Conchords) the show was named the best new sitcom of 2008 at the British Comedy Awards. It begins with the new kid in town, Will (Simon Bird), who has unwillingly had to move, change schools and, as a result, make new friends. He soon meets Simon (Joe Thomas), Jay (James Buckley) and Neil (Blake Harrison), who are neither that cool nor that credible. Marooned in middle-class suburbia, The Inbetweeners follows the four friends who get drunk too quickly, ride roller coasters and crush on the girl next door. The Inbetweeners premieres with back to back episodes Monday, January 25th, 9:00p.m. ET/PT. All future episodes premiere on Wednesdays, 9:30p.m. ET/PT.
