Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is a 2015
satirical comedy television series written by
David Wain and
Michael Showalter, and directed by Wain. The eight-episode
Netflix series is a
prequel to Wain's 2001 film
Wet Hot American Summer, a parody of
teen sex comedies which has since developed a
cult following. Although many of the original film's ensemble cast have gone on to high-profile work, all of the then-adult actors returned for this series, playing even younger versions of their original roles. The episodes were released for online viewing at the end of July 2015.
