Will watch.

 

[lucebuce12]

I... didn't even know they were making another series.

Will watch.

 

[Skinny Pete]

I had no idea this was happening. Will def watch.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I enjoyed the first series on Netflix, so I'll check this out too. Is the whole cast back?

 

[outunderthestars]

August 4th for those unable to watch the trailer.....

 

[Sane_Man]

How did I miss that they were making this. So hyped.

 

[hydruxo]

Well this came out of nowhere, I also had no idea they were doing another series

Looks hilarious

 

[Broken Joystick]

fuck yeah

 

[barik]

Just going to echo that I had no idea this was coming, and it looks great.

 

[PolishQ]

EVEN THE CAN!

 

[suddenlyissoon]

Absolutely cannot wait.

 

[cr0w]

Looking forward to it.

 

[Sotha Sil]

In.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Awesome. Can not wait.

 

[Broken Joystick]

just realized Bradley Cooper isn't returning, which is ironic because he's the one who says they should meet up

 

[The Elite]

Can't wait.

Don't worry, we get Jai Courtney instead.

 

[DeathyBoy]

The fact they got him back for the prequel was a miracle.

Speaking of, the opening to an episode with Hyde Pierce's character acting out the crazy shit he described in the film was masterful. Absolutely insanely hilarious.

 

[VistraNorrez]

August 4, right before my Birthday. Perfect!

 

[thecouncil]

The prequel series was great.

That trailer didn't have enough Showalter.

 

[Belfast]

Seems no David Hyde Pierce, either.

 

[Xater]

Loved the first series, so I am in as well.

Like a lot of others here I didn't know this was happening.

 

[smokeymicpot]

He was green screened in the last one during a few scenes. It sucks but I guess he couldn't find the time.

 

[Anoregon]

Show me the fever
Into the fire
Taking it higher and higher
Nothing to fear
It's only desire
Taking you higher and higher!

 

[digita1alchemy]

just realized Bradley Cooper isn't returning, which is ironic because he's the one who says they should meet up

I'm certain this will be addressed in the most hilarious way possible.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Loved the prequel series. This looks just as great.

 

[i_am_ben]

just realized Bradley Cooper isn't returning, which is ironic because he's the one who says they should meet up

It doesn't look like David Hyde Pierce is returning either.

 

[MMarston]

Like its two predecessors, this looks like the dumbest and most embarassing parody of the 80s/90s out there.



And I'm all in for it.

 

[-griffy-]

I wouldn't be surprised if he still shows up some how, even if it's like how they ended up having his character wear a mask and Cooper did VO for a bit in the first season.

 

[Blader]

I was literally just thinking yesterday when they would announce a date for this.

 

[red731]

This looks so freaking funny! I need to watch the first one(s?)!

 

[strafer]

Also, Meloni should do more comedy, the man is an absolute riot.

 

[bremon]

Pssh. Pffft. Psst. Pssh. Pfft. This is the perfect news to start my Thursday. This will be hilarious. August 4 can't come soon enough!

 

[teruterubozu]

At least it keeps Janeane Garofalo working.

 

[kai3345]

looks great but no bradley cooper is a shame

 

[Previous]

I can't wait for this.

 

[Enduin]

Amazing. Didn't realize they had filmed this yet.

 

[UncleMeat]

Fantastic news! First season was hilarious.

 

[hughesta]

this looks fantastic. Can't wait!

 

[Ravelle]

Nice, wasn't expected this at all.

 

[HStallion]

looks great but no bradley cooper is a shame

They had people wearing a bag over their head pretending to be his character in the prequel series because he was only able to be there for filming for an incredibly short amount of time.

 

[strafer]

Bradley is a busy man these days.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I watched the original Wet Hot American Summer movie around when it first came out. I appreciated it as a growing cult movie but it wasn't my favorite thing.

But I L O V E First Day of Camp. Like, it's one of my most precious miracle projects like Scott Pilgrim vs the World where you just can't believe the right pieces fell in place to make it happen. I would make a case that First Day of Camp is one of the most successful prequel works ever produced and provides a model for how it should be done. I think it not only enriches the original material, but drastically excels it.

I didn't think they would do a season 2, but I'm very interested and super stoked. Let's see if they can do a sequel as impactful and essential as their prequel.

 

[Duxxy3]

Love it.

 

[Zatoth]

Loved what they did with season 1. Looking forward to it.

 

[Sotha Sil]

Seems no David Hyde Pierce, either.

Nooo ! That's a shame.

 

[Apple Turnover]

Guess I have a rewatch coming in the next few weeks to prepare. Best out of the blue announcement ever!

 

[SpookyFries]

The best part about it is that you can tell that they all come back because they genuinely enjoy doing it. Paul Rudd is probably really busy with Infinity War and Ant Man 2 but he found the time to come back to this silly project.

The world always needs more David Wayne projects

 

[ahoyhoy]

Wet Hot American Summer took a bit to grow on me but now I'm all in on anything else they do.

Hypeee

 

[BlueTsunami]

The writing on these things is almost directly aligned with what I find funny.
