We all know what happened on the last day of camp back in the summer of ‘81. Come to think of it, we also know what went down on the very first day at Camp Firewood. Many of us have been wondering what ever came of Beth, Coop, McKinley, Ben, Susie, Andy, Gail, Lindsay, Neil, Katie, Victor, J.J., Gary, Gene, Henry Newman and the rest of the crew. Well, wonder no more, as Netflix has just ordered up a new installment of the Wet Hot American Summer series entitled Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.
Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later is the sequel to the prequel of the 2001 cult comedy film Wet Hot American Summer, written by Michael Showalter and David Wain and directed by the latter. The 2015 eight-episode series prequel Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp must have been a success with viewers so as to warrant an update on this crazy cast of camp counselors. The forthcoming series extension should come as no surprise to fans of the Wet Hot franchise as the Netflix prequel follow-up far exceeded all expectations. Watch the announcement trailer here…
Ten Years Later will, again, be written by Wain and Showalter, with Wain taking on directorial duties. While the cast has not yet been confirmed, the eight-episode limited series follow-up, like its predecessor, will likely bring back much of the original cast members. Among them are Janeane Garofalo, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Amy Poehler, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Molly Shannon, A.D. Miles, Marguerite Moreau, Zak Orth, David Hyde Pierce, Judah Friedlander and Showalter. No word either on whether or not the First Day Of Camp cast additions Lake Bell, Jason Schwartzman, Kristen Wiig, Samm Levine, John Slattery, Chris Pine, H. Jon Benjamin, Jon Hamm, Jordan Peele, Randall Park, Michael Cera and Paul Scheer will return for the sequel.
