Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later ordered by Netflix

Finally, Camp Firewood's counsellors are fulfilling the promise they made on their last day of summer together

Fans of 2001's Wet Hot American Summer will remember the comedy ends with Camp Firewood's counsellors gathering on the porch to pledge to a 10-year reunion, to "see what kind of people we've blossomed into"; though the reunion's exact time becomes a slight issue amongst the crew, who can't determine whether their late '20s will spark a new found respect for timekeeping or not.

Well, it looks like those teens have actually kept their promise: Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later is coming to Netflix in 2017. Creators David Wain and Michael Showalter will create a follow-up to Netflix's eight-episode series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day at Camp, which acted as a prequel and a documentation of the first day of that epic '81 summer in Maine, with the original film covering the last day of that year's camp.

Ten Years Later will also feature eight 30-minute episodes, with both Wain and Showalter serving as writers and executive producers, and Wain returning to direct.

What was so incredible about First Day was the fact Wain and Showalter managed to bring back each of its original cast members, though so many of them have now catapulted to Hollywood fame; including the likes of Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, and Amy Poehler. It seems unlikely this new series would have been announced without that original cast's co-operation, though there's yet to be any confirmation on that front.

With the original film running with the joke of actors in their late-20s or early 30s playing teens; First Day of Camp went even further, with many of the actors now in their '40s, still playing those same teens. And now setting new events ten years down the line? Guaranteed Wain and Showalter will be having a whole bunch of fun with that concept.

The only problem this new series might face is where to get its crop of guest stars; considering First Day of Camp featured basically every cool person alive. Or perhaps we'll be seeing the return of Michael Cera, Kristen Wiig, and Chris Pine's characters to the camp? Considering logic isn't really a giant concern here; there's no reason why not, right?
