First Teaser Trailer for WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER Netflix Series
When David Wain directed 2001's Wet Hot American Summer, there's no way he could have known that half of the cast of his cult comedy would blow up and become major players in Hollywood. But a sequel has been whispered about for a long time, and now it's finally happening this summer as an eight-episode series on Netflix. The first teaser trailer for the show has been released, and it confirms the original cast is returning: Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Christopher Meloni, Marguerite Moreau, Zak Orth, Amy Poehler, David Hyde Pierce, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, and Michael Showalter.
And the best part? Even though the actors have aged fourteen years since the original's release, this series is going to be a prequel. What a genuinely great idea — I can't wait to head back to camp.
