Will, Simon, Jay and Neil are back, and they're heading down under.

The first teaser for The Inbetweeners 2 has been released online, with the cast reunited for a sequel set in Australia.

In the 60-second, the hapless teenagers are seen driving up to a group of Aborigines gathered around a campfire, before the England football shirt-wearing Jay yells "Fire w**kers!" out of the window. Nice.

Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and James Buckley are reprising their roles, with Emily Berrington, Freddie Stroma and David Field among the new additions.

Creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have written and directed the movie. "There will be kangaroos and Australians and possibly koalas," the team last December.

Thomas has promised that The Inbetweeners 2 will be "funnier than the first" despite some fans of the hit TV series expressing concern that it will be a flop.

"Hopefully it will be better than the last film," one fan wrote under the first official Facebook post last year. "Series was amazing, film was cringe."

The 2011 movie followed the awkward gang as they embarked on a school-leavers holiday to Crete. It took £45 million at the box office to become the most successful British comedy film of all-time.

The Inbetweeners 2 hits UK cinemas on 6 August.
