This “Meet The Staff Orientation Video” maintains the movie’s very 80’s vibe, mostly thanks to the extremely poor video quality and, of course, the counselors’ hairstyles and clothes. You’ll see most of the old Camp Firewood gang, along with a new staff member: Greg, played by Jason Schwartzmann. The series hits Netflix on July 31. ### 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/3961834/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-orientation-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3961834/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-orientation-video/"},"headline":"Meet the Counselors From Wet Hot American Summer in This New Orientation Video","datePublished":"2015-07-16T21:38:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:15.056Z","description":"Including a new Camp Firewood staffer played by Jason Schwartzmann","url":"https://time.com/3961834/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-orientation-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3961834/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-orientation-video/","name":"Meet the Counselors From Wet Hot American Summer in This New Orientation Video"}}]}] ```
