The great news is that Netflix has revealed that pretty much everyone who starred in the film Wet Hot American Summer is returning for the new series that we’re all excited about. The even better news, which actually came first, is that Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Ken Marino, Christopher Meloni and everyone else are being joined by some other wonderful actors, including John Slattery, Josh Charles, Lake Bell, Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel, among others. If that’s the entire cast, it’s pretty impressive.
But according to Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva, Netflix isn’t done adding star power to Wet Hot American Summer, as the follow-up series to the 2001 comedy is rumored to have tapped Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Jason Schwartzman and Chris Pine for “guest starring/recurring roles.” If you’re attempting to keep track of the number of celebrities being packed into this eight-episode series, I believe the current total is all of them.
