Netflix will travel into the future for a Wet Hot American Summer sequel taking place ten years after the conclusion of the cult film, which was originally set in 1981.
The forthcoming series, titled Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, will comprise eight 30-minute episodes and debuts in 2017. Check out a teaser below, featuring a scene from the original film in which the group of counselors — as played by Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, and more — promises to reunite exactly 10 years after their last day at camp.

Last year, Netflix debuted a series titled Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, which served as a prequel to the film. Subsequently, co-creator and co-star Michael Showalter said that more episodes were definitely possible — though rounding up the star-studded cast of the original film, which the team has presumably done for Ten Years later, is no small feat.
“I always thought of the characters from Wet Hot American Summer as comic book characters and there is no shortage of stories we could tell about them,” Showalter said last year.
Ten Years Later will be written by Showalter and David Wain, and Wain will direct. Showalter, Wain, Peter Principato, Jonathan Stern, and Howard Bernstein will serve as executive producers.
