US remake for Inbetweeners
E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners is headed for a US remake.
US network ABC has ordered a pilot from creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, who will adapt the show with a US writer.
The network has also given the pair a second blind script commitment for a future project.
Morris and Beesley's indie Bwark is currently in production on a second series of the comedy, which was E4's first original sitcom.
It centres around four teenage boys in suburbia and their doomed quest to meet girls, buy alcohol and get into the best parties.
Morris and Beesley pitched it to ABC as Superbad meets Freeks and Geeks and plan to set the remake in a US high school.
The pair also wrote an episode of the first series of HBO's Flight of the Conchords.
