Wet Hot American Summer is coming to Netflix as a new original series on the streaming service, from the creators of the cult-classic 2001 summer camp parody film. So what should we expect 14 years later in 2015? How about a prequel with the same actors, now older, playing younger characters? Not only are creators David Wain and Michael Showalter returning, but the entire cast is back as well, including some of the bigger stars like Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks and Bradley Cooper. Amy Poehler, H. Jon Benjamin, Michael Ian Black, Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Nina Hellman, Ken Marino, Zak Orth, David Hyde Pierce, Joe LoTruglio, Christopher Meloni, A.D. Miles, Marguerite Moreau, Marisa Ryan, Molly Shannon, and Kevin Sussman are all back for this bizarre new series!

According to Slash Film, filming on the new Netflix show has already started this week, with 8 episodes in the works. Reports are claiming that Wet Hot will take queues from the recent Arrested Development season 4 reboot and film scenes with only a few stars at a time. This way, the busier cast members can work around their schedules and still make it into the series.
Numerous sources are pointing out that this is most likely a prequel, and that would be amazingly ridiculous, but totally in the vein of the cult comedy. We'll be seeing these 40-something actors portraying teenagers - that's pretty nuts, right?
If you haven't seen Wet Hot American Summer, it's a must-see at this point. We'd try to explain it to you, but it's more of an experience, really. All we can say is that you'll see some familiar faces in very outlandish situations, saying the funniest things. Now just imagine a TV series coming out of that!
