MTV’s US remake of Channel 4 comedy series The Inbetweeners debuts in the states this August, and to whet the American audience’s appetite, a first cast picture has now arrived online. As you can see, it shows the US versions of Simon (Bubba Lewis), Will (Joey Pollari), Neil (Mark L Young) and Jay (Zack Pearlman) complete with traditional car door and briefcase accessories.

So, first impressions then. What do we all make of tall, dark, and handsome Will, gurning podgy Jay and a Neil that seems to be channelling his namesake from The Young Ones?

We took a closer look at the prospects of MTV’s The Inbetweeners and a number of other UK-to-US telly remakes here, for anyone who fancies finding out more about what’s coming up over the next few months.
