Counselors and campers check in for what's billed as "the summer of your life" at Maine's Camp Firewood in 1981. The Netflix original is a prequel to the 2001 cult film "Wet Hot American Summer," and features many of the same actors, portraying even younger versions of themselves than they did in the film. Reuniting the original cast was no small feat, given the busy careers of Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Meloni, Janeane Garofalo, Bradley Cooper and Amy Poehler. New to camp in 2015 are Chris Pine, Jon Hamm and Kirsten Wiig. Original director David Wain helms the series, and he and Michael Showalter penned the scripts.

Critics Consensus

By owning its own ridiculousness, 10 Years Later is a fan-pleasing addition to the cult classic series.

Johanna Schneller Toronto Star There's only so much parodying of lameness you can do before you become a lame parody of yourself. May 16, 2019 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald The goofy charm endures. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Brilliantly slides back and forth between intelligent satire and ridiculous physical comedy. Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Rachel Leishman Culturess The first episode of Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later is exactly what we'd want it to be. A perfect reminder of the show and movie we love mixed with a great returning cast! May 16, 2019 Full Review Audra Schroeder The Daily Dot [Wet Hot American Summer:] Ten Years Later still feels confined by a joke made 16 years ago. May 16, 2019 Full Review Carrie Wittmer Business Insider Despite its flaws, [Wet Hot American Summer:] 10 Years Later is definitely worth watching, and it's not bad by any means. Compared to most comedies, it's great. It's funny, fun, and a quick watch if you have zero plans for the weekend May 16, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The weakest entry in the saga, "Ten Years Later" tries to recreate what "First Day Of Camp" achieved but doesn't quite get there. It's simply not that funny nor that often funny, the plot bites off more than it can chew, Bradley Cooper's absence is felt, and the various incidents somehow feel minor and repetitive. The second half is arguably a little better, as it restores some of the franchise's reckless ridiculousness, and great moments aren't absent, but the spark is largely missing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Although this follow up is tough when it comes to matching the first, it's still memorable, and heck, I would still watch this premise again. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Complete garbage. Brain numbing idiocy. And not in a good way, more in a propaganda way. . . Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe I'm deluding myself, but I think Ten Years Later might be highly ambitious. I am no jazz expert, but I think it's kind of like a free jazz cover of a standard. It constantly sets up scenes we've seen a million times before, but then instead of the expected payoff, we get bizarre improvisations. It's like a song where none of the chords resolve. That may be why it often feels like it's trying too hard. In the original and even the prequel series, it felt like the actors were having fun, but they seem burnt out here. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautifully stupid, redeemingly clever, and incredibly wholesome and comforting.
