Jun 23, 2015 5:04 PM UTC In the closing scene of _Wet Hot American Summer_, the counselors make a pact that they’ll meet again in the same spot ten years later. It’s been 14 years, but the gang is returning this summer, albeit in a new spot: Netflix. The series, a prequel to the movie, will focus on the first day of summer camp, when the counselors meet. Instead of directly promoting the new series, this trailer advertises its fictional setting: Camp Firewood. Narrated in a masterfully unenthused monotone by H. Jon Benjamin, who plays Christopher Meloni’s pep-talking Can of Vegetables in the original movie, the trailer plays like a grainy VHS video, complete with interludes of snowy static and some poor editing over a homemade sex tape. Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks and other members of the original cast — who were around a decade too old to play camp counselors the first time around and are now, consequently, two decades too old — return with a handful of new additions, including Kristen Wiig, Randall Park and Jon Hamm. _Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp_ debuts July 31 on Netflix. ### See Photos from Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp  Amy Poehler and Bradley Cooper in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix  From left: Zak Orth, Michael Showalter, Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio and Nina Hellman in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix  Elizabeth Banks in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix  Marguerite Moreau and Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Gemma La Mana—Netflix  Joe Lo Truglio and Ken Marino in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix  Christopher Meloni in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix  Nina Hellman, Molly Shannon and Judah Friedlander in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix  Janeane Garofalo in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp Saeed Adyani—Netflix ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3932271/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3932271/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-trailer/"},"headline":"Relive the Glory of Camp in the Trailer for Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp","datePublished":"2015-06-23T17:04:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:21.615Z","description":"“What are you doing this summer?”","url":"https://time.com/3932271/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-trailer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Netflix","Trailers"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt99fc1f3e42664393/698857f30a4a227bbd9c4d84/amy-poehler-bradley-cooper.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt99fc1f3e42664393/698857f30a4a227bbd9c4d84/amy-poehler-bradley-cooper.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Amy Poehler and Bradley Cooper attend the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards a on January 27, 2013 in Los Angeles.","caption":"Amy Poehler and Bradley Cooper attend the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards a on January 27, 2013 in Los Angeles.","creditText":"Kevin Winter--;WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3932271/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-trailer/","name":"Relive the Glory of Camp in the Trailer for Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The 14 Best Television Intros","description":"The best 30 seconds on TV come before the feature.
