Not all Netflix original series are hits, but the company sure knows how to buy its way into the hearts of cult-comedy fans.
Today the company unveiled its first full trailer for Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, an eight-episode prequel to the 2001 cult film Wet Hot American Summer. As we said last year, the film served as a launchpad for celebrities like Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, and Elizabeth Banks. Somehow, Netflix convinced the star cast to return for what is essentially a made-for-TV reboot -- and I couldn't be happier.
For Netflix, another cult series will serve as ammo as traditional television networks launch their own online streaming services.
Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp will debut on July 31.
