No sequel but I'll take it. Looks like they're going with the Arrested Development shooting strategy.

Exec produced by the movie’s creators, David Wain and Michael Showalter, the serialized “Wet Hot” would seek to reunite many of the original cast members who would play high-school-age characters despite the fact many of the actors are currently in their 40s.

While it might seem a tall order to reunite the original cast, the plan is to make it happen by having each of the actors shoot their scenes in just a few days because not every character will appear in every episode. The original cast included Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, Ken Marino, Molly Shannon, Christopher Meloni, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Ian Black, Joe Lo Truglio and Showalter. Wain also directed the movie...

As long as Michael Showalter is creating things for me to watch then I am happy.

 

[Parallax]

I hope they show a bunch of kids getting pushed out cars

I love the absurdity of this lol.

 

[bistromathics]

I love the absurdity of this lol.

I heard someone from Wet Hot (maybe Ken Marino?) on a podcast saying they wanted to do something like this for a sequel. I think it could work pretty well as a Netflix series

 

[LaneDS]

Apparently it's a go:

Damn, this is excellent news.

 

[Ceebs]

This will be amazing.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Btw everyone should listen to the Topics podcast with Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black. I just listened to them talk about the movie Interstellar for half an hour

Spoiler

despite neither one of them actually having seen it

Nice!

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

[Jarnet87]

i did a paul rudd double take of excitement.

 

[Bread]

I can't believe it's actually happening

 

[depths20XX]

My favorite comedy. I hope the series is good.

 

[jb1234]

That's one hell of a cast. Damn, I wonder how they pulled this off?

 

[C4Lukins]

I think the only people they could not get back as regulars, are Rudd, Poehler, Banks, and Cooper. And I am sure they would be up for cameos. Still a hell of a cast without those major stars.

 

[Sobriquet]

Guys? It's official.

edit: lol I missed this:

They are all confirmed to be in it, which is why it's so impressive.

(Well, maybe not confirmed as the articles are a bit vague but it's very highly likely...)

I imagine that we could see a lot of actors from Childrens Hospital involved in some way as well.

 

[tycoonheart]

The movie is one of my favorites. Christopher Meloni is fucking awesome in it.

And David Hyde Pierce

"i want you inside me"
"what?"
"nothing, just saying hi from before"

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

My favorite comedy. I hope the series is good.

I've only seen it once and that was years ago. Time for a rewatch.

 

[Bread]

The movie is one of my favorites. Christopher Meloni is fucking awesome in it.

And David Hyde Pierce

"oh fuck my cock"
"what?"
"nothing, just saying hi"

Not sure that's what he says after " oh fuck my cock" but I'll give you points for posting part of my favorite quote!

 

[Duress]

You like pizza? Yeah, well...

 

[tycoonheart]

Not sure how that's what he says after " oh fuck my cock" but I'll give you points for posting part of my favorite quote!

Oh shit, its "I want you inside me"

HAHA

my bad, i f'ed up.

 

[the_firewithin]

I hope this is good. So so good.

 

[zychi]

Watched the movie earlier this year, was really bored and didn't like it. The cast going on and being insanely famous is awesome tho. Maybe the show will be better than the movie?

if the show is better than the movie then it will be the greatest show in human history

 

[LaneDS]

Pretty much down for anything David Wain does. Getting the original cast for a limited series is quite something and I feel like this'll actually work versus Arrested Devolpment's Netflix attempt.

 

[DiscoJon]

 

[xenist]

Even half of that cast is insane.

Fuck. They don't even have to write a script.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I always liked Stella. I should watch this. I didn't realize it was the same guys.

 

[Akibastman]

Big fan of Wain and of the movie but I'm not sure I want to see that

 

[xenist]

I hope one of the episodes is just a training montage.
