July 31 seems so far away, but Netflix offered up some bait for Wet Hot American Summer fans today.
The Netflix prequel—helmed by original creators David Wain and Michael Showalter and titled Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp—returns to Camp Firewood on the first day of camp in 1981 to show how the summer progresses. In a press release, co-creator Showalter said, “We thought it was funny that in the original we played a bunch of thirty-year-olds playing teenagers. Now we’re in our forties and our characters are even younger.”
Original cast members Bradley Cooper, Janeane Garofalo, Christopher Meloni, Ken Marino, Paul Rudd, and Amy Poehler return, and there are some new faces, too. You can see photos of them right now:
