Netflix relaunched the cult classic movie Wet Hot American Summer last July with an eight-episode miniseries dubbed Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. Now the streaming giant is back at it again, dropping a teaser on Wednesday announcing a new eight-episode arc set ten years after the original 2001 film to be released some time in 2017.
The clip didn't reveal anything new—it was pulled straight from the movie in which the gang of "teenagers" at Camp Firewood agree to meet up again ten years later. As Michael Ian Black's McKinley points out, the characters will all be in their late twenties (though played by a cast much older in age).
The film and miniseries was set in the summer of 1981 and was full of tacky ’80s references, so one should expect a lot of ’90s stereotypes in the new series including but not limited to scrunchies, Nirvana and Tim Allen.
Like the other two installments, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later will be co-written by Michael Showalter and David Wain, with Wain holding down the director's chair.
