Watch the goofy retro trailer for Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer TV series
Next month, the beloved cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer returns as a Netflix series, and the streaming service has finally released a real glimpse of what Camp Firewood has in store:
The trailer reintroduces viewers to Camp Firewood, where campers can indulge in hobbies like archery, drama, and street dance. It also reintroduces, albeit briefly, the ridiculously stacked cast of actors reprising their roles from the movie, including Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Janeane Garofalo, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Ian Black.
"The summer of your life is just around the corner," promises the trailer. You can make your own return trip to Camp Firewood when Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp premieres on Netflix on July 31.
