16 Things We Want to See on Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
Break out your gum and BBQ sauce
We have been filling our gournal journal with hopes for a follow-up to Wet Hot American Summer since the cult comedy premiered in 2001. Now, 14 years later, Netflix is finally making our dreams a reality with an eight-episode prequel series, First Day of Camp.
Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler and the rest of our favorite fake 16-year-olds will all return for the series, which will take place on the first day of camp at Camp Firewood in 1981.
Normally, our gournal journal is only for three people - me, myself and I - but in honor of First Day of Camp's upcoming release, we're going to share with you our 16 deepest wishes for the anticipated series.
