WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER seems like one of those "love it/hate it" things. It's so weird and idiosyncratic, with many of its jokes simply based on period accurate aesthetics, or having a guy hump a refrigerator, that it makes sense it's a cult classic and not more well-known (not that it's necessarily a hidden gem either – it's hard to hide that cast). As for me, I happen to love it, and also enjoyed the prequel series FIRST DAY AT CAMP Netflix premiered a couple years, where the joke was it was set ten years in the past even though the cast was clearly older.
Anyway, another sequel series (this time an actual sequel instead of prequel) is coming again to Netflix. Here's the official synopsis:
Welcome to the Camp Firewood Ten Year Reunion! From David Wain and Michael Showalter, the masterminds that brought the original 2001 cult classic film and the 2015 acclaimed prequel series by the same name, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later is the hilarious new eight-part limited series starring the original cast, plus an all-star lineup of new cast members.
Returning cast includes A.D. Miles, Amy Poehler, Beth Dover, Chris Meloni, Chris Pine, David Hyde Pierce, David Wain, Elizabeth Banks, Eric Nenninger, H. Jon Benjamin, Janeane Garofalo, Jason Schwartzman, Joe Lo Truglio, John Early, Josh Charles, Ken Marino, Kristen Wiig, Lake Bell, Marguerite Moreau, Marisa Ryan, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, Molly Shannon, Nina Hellman, Paul Rudd, Rich Sommer, Sarah Burns and Zak Orth.
