'Wet Hot American Summer' is returning to Netflix ... 10 years later
'Wet Hot American Summer' is returning to Netflix ... 10 years later
Wet Hot American Summer isn't done with Netflix yet. Following last year's return to Camp Firewood with the eight-part series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, we're going to jump forward in time for Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, the streaming platform announced today.
Every Wet Hot fan knows that the counselors were always planning to meet up for a 10-year reunion, starting at 9 so everyone could be there by 9:30. We got a very brief glimpse of it at the end of the movie, and now Netflix is going to give us so much more.
Just like First Day, there will be eight episodes, written by Michael Showalter and David Wain and directed by Wain. Hopefully they'll be able to convince the cast to return, too, but Netflix hasn't said who is signed on to star (the video announcement simply showed a clip from the original movie -- no new footage yet). The series will premiere in 2017.

Man I want to watch the movie and the series again this weekend! I absolutely love "Wet Hot American Summer" because it is so horribly bad that it is so good.
If you haven't seen it before but have Netflix it is very VERY important to watch the movie first then watch the series. Else the series (which is technically a prequel to the movie and yes they have the same actors who were already a bit too old to play campers come back and play those same campers again. Nothing like 40 year old Bradley Cooper playing an 18 year old camper - but that was the joke!) won't make sense.
