This Friday, Netflix will release the sequel seriesWet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later. True to its subtitle, the upcoming series will take place ten years after the events of the 2001 movie and the 2015 prequel seriesWet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. Almost everyone involved with those projects is returning including (deep breath): A.D. Miles, Amy Poehler, Beth Dover, Chris Meloni, Chris Pine, David Hyde Pierce, David Wain, Elizabeth Banks, Eric Nenninger, H. Jon Benjamin, Janeane Garofalo, Jason Schwartzman, Joe Lo Truglio, John Early, Josh Charles, Ken Marino, Kristen Wiig, Lake Bell, Marguerite Moreau, Marisa Ryan, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, Molly Shannon, Nina Hellman, Paul Rudd, Rich Sommer, Sarah Burns, andZak Orth.
However, one cast member who won’t be back isBradley Cooper. He had a scheduling conflict, but they still wanted to involve the Ben character, so they recast the role withAdam Scott. The joke in the new series, as this clip explains, is that Ben had plastic surgery, so this is the miniParks and Recreationreunion you’ve been waiting for (as opposed toA.C.O.D.where Scott’s character calls Poehler’s character the c-word).
Check out theWet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Laterclip below. All eight episodes premiere on Netflix on Friday. New cast members includeSkyler Gisondo, Samm Levine, Mark Feuerstein, Marlo Thomas, Joey Bragg, Jai Courtney, Dax Shepard, andAlyssa Milano.
