Netflix’s ‘Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later’ Debuts Aug. 4

Netflix debuts the latest in the Wet Hot American Summer series Aug. 4. There will be eight episodes of Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, from David Wain and Michael Showalter.

That pair was behind the 2001 cult classic film and the 2015 prequel, Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, which had eight episodes on Netflix.

The film did not pop in terms of box office, but its soon-to-be-famous cast and campy humor made it a cult hit.
