Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is the best prequel I've ever seen, enriching and recontextualizing the original movie while also being a laugh-out-loud comedy all on its own. So I'm pretty damn excited about the news that Netflix is going back to camp with creators Michael Showalter and David Wain yet again for a new batch of episodes entitled Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.

THR reports that the eight episode season will premiere sometime in 2017, with Showalter and Wain writing and Wain set to direct. No word yet on whether the original cast will return, but considering they all found time in their busy schedules for First Day of Camp, it seems promising that they'll be back once again. (If you aren't aware, the original movie featured appearances by a bunch of then-up-and-coming actors who have since become big stars, including Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, and more, and they all reprised their roles in the prequel series.)

First Day of Camp left a little tease about the fate of Chris Pine's character, so hopefully that will be tied up in the new Ten Years Later series. I'm super stoked about this, but what do you all think? I'm going to be listening to Jefferson Starship's "Jane" all day to celebrate this news.

Make it your beeswax to be there! Finally, fans can see what happens to their favorite campers and counselors ten years after the original film in a new Netflix original series "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later." The series will include eight all-new 30-minute episodes and is set to premiere in 2017.
