OKAY NOBODY FREAK OUT BUT ACCORDING TO VARIETY NETFLIX IS IN TALKS TO PRODUCE A WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER PREQUEL SERIES THAT WILL STAR AND BE PRODUCED BY THE ORIGINAL TEAM BEHIND THE 2001 CULT CLASSIC.
AND IT GETS BETTER.
Executive produced by the movie’s creators, David Wain and Michael Showalter, the serialized “Hot” would seek to reunite many of the original cast members who would play high-school-age characters despite the fact many of the actors are currently in their 40s.
While it might seem a tall order to reunite the original cast, the plan is to make it happen by having each of the actors shoot their scenes in just a few days because not every character will appear in every episode.
As a reminder, that cast and crew of 40 year olds, many of whom would be portraying teenagers, includes these people, whose names may ring a bell here in 2014:
- Paul Rudd
- Bradley Cooper
- Amy Poeher
- Elizabeth Banks
- Ken Marino
- Molly Shannon
- Christopher Meloni
- Janeane Garofalo
- David Hyde Pierce
- Michael Ian Black
- Joe Lo Truglio
- Michael Showalter
- David Wain
Yes, please.
