Get ready to head back to Camp Firewood, because Wet Hot American Summer is coming to Netflix for an eight-episode long camp reunion.

Following in the steps of the revival of cult classic Arrested Development, [Deadline reports] (http://deadline.com/2015/01/wet-hot-american-summer-netflix-limited-series-original-cast-return-1201342994/) that the long hoped-for follow-up to the campy camp comedy has started filming a limited series for Netflix.

"It's true, camp is back in session. #WetHotAmericanSummer will return for 8 all new episodes," [Netflix's official account] (https://twitter.com/netflix/status/553760968933511169) tweeted to its followers yesterday, which the film's director David Wain re-tweeted. Plus, a new Wet Hot American Summer account appeared on Twitter, which is all the proof necessary to prove this is not a dream.

Wain once again teamed up with his The State co-star Michael Showalter to write the script for the new series and they will both serve as executive producers.

The 2001 film was set at a summer camp in 1981 and had an all-star cast of nascent celebrities, many of whom —like Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler—traded their short shorts, whistles and knee-high socks for A-list status. Other cast members include The State’s Michael Ian Black, former 30 Rock star Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Ken Marino, Zak Orth, Frasier star David Hyde Pierce, Joe LoTruglio, Law & Order: SVU stalwart Christopher Meloni, SNL star Molly Shannon, and Showalter. It's rumored that Archer star H. Jon Benjamin will once again provide his trademark voice, although it’s unclear whether he will be reprising his role as a mouthy can of vegetables.

While few other details have been announced, it seems likely that the series will be a prequel to the film. Back in May, Variety reported that such was being discussed. Plus both Wain and [Marino] (http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/q-a-ken-marino-talks-wet-hot-prequel-the-state-reunion-and-burning-love-20121019), who played luckless in love camp counselor Victor Pulak in the film, have hinted that a prequel was being developed

Of course, if the series flashes back too far, Benjamin’s can of mixed vegetables might still be out growing in a farm and the campers could still be in diapers—and there’s no chance any of these counselors would change them.

It seems like the film’s cast is as excited as fans. Lo Truglio tweeted: “It's on like Donkey Kong bc Donkey Kong happened in 1981, just like this movie,” while Marino [sent out ] (https://twitter.com/KenMarino/status/553739893147312128) a special dedication to his character’s love interest, “I hope Abby Bernstein’s still waiting for me.”

While the original film tanked at the box office, its afterlife as a cult favorite and the newfound celebrity status of much of its cast pretty much ensures the new series will be at the top of a lot of Netflix queues.
