The trailer might make you feel like you’re watching regional theater, you guys, but it’s still kind of cool. Netflix has released the first trailer for Wet Hot American Summer: First Day At Camp, the prequel series for the 2001 cult comedy.
It was made to look like an actual camp commercial from 1981, complete with the droll narration from H. Jon Benjamin, who voiced a can of vegetables in the film. You can spot most of the original cast, including everyone that you still can’t believe found time in their schedules for this. Yes, somehow Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon and Elizabeth Banks found time to make this.
The people you don’t see in the trailer are the stars who didn’t appear in the movie. New faces joining Wet Hot American Summer include John Slattery, Jason Schwartzman, Jon Hamm, Lake Bell and Kristen Wiig.
First Day At Camp will debut on July 31 with all eight episodes available at once. Original film writers Michael Showalter and David Wain created the new series.
