Watch The Hilarious Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later Trailer
The Camp Firewood gang is all back together in the new trailer for Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later. The eight-episode Netflix series will capitalize on the first film's promise for the friends to reunite in ten years, bringing back a whole host of original cast members and new stars for a hilarious summer romp.
The trailer begins with the clip from the original film, in which Bradley Cooper's Ben calls for everyone to meet up in ten years to see what kind of people they have blossomed into. It then flashes to 1991, where the cast is now ten years older, ten years hotter, and ten years wetter. "Lives change, people change, but some things never will," says a voiceover.
As it turns out, Camp Firewood might get sold, resulting in the whole gang working together to save it. Despite their new mission, this is still Wet Hot American Summer, so there is, of course, lots of sex, lots of laughs, and a surprising amount of violence, which the trailer uses for a gloriously bloody ending montage.
The show has quite the cast, featuring returning cast members 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, as well as new cast members Skyler Gisondo, Samm Levine, Mark Feuerstein, Marlo Thomas, Joey Bragg, Jai Courtney, Dax Shepard, Alyssa Milano, and Adam Scott. Cooper, despite being the character to originate the idea for the reunion, was unfortunately unable to return due to scheduling conflicts.
Wain and Showalter, the minds behind the original film and the 2015 series, returned to work behind-the-scenes on the show as well. The show is set to hit Netflix on Aug. 4; while we wait, see some of the streamer's best exclusive releases to date.
