In order to follow up in their plans to release triple the amount of content that they did last year, Netflix is plunking down a big pile of IOUs, around a billon of them in fact.
The online streaming service is set to release 320 hours of their own content, which will include the Wet Hot American Summer mini-series, the next season of BoJack Horseman, and Aziz Ansari’s Live at Madison Square Garden just to name a few.
The four picture deal with The Duplass Brothers just struck at Sundance will probably benefit from this as well.
All told, Netflix seems like it’s full-fledged major studio/network as opposed to just an online streaming service.
The mini series for Wet Hot American Summer is indeed coming along with the cast of the original movie to Netflix. In fact, it’s set for release this Summer.
Here’s the first teaser to prove all of that’s true.

It’s fantastic that almost the entire original cast of Wet Hot American Summer is returning to do the upcoming Netflix series.
It’s also pretty great that they’ll have some new “members” with some of indie comedy’s favorite players including Michaela Watkins, Randall Park (who you saw as Kim Jong-Un in The Interview), Lake Bell, John Slattery, Jayma Mays, Paul Scheer, and Rob Huebel.
It would almost seem that the first poster alone for this new Wet Hot American Summer will be barely able to contain this even bigger, great ensemble cast.

Not only is Wet Hot American Summer now set to come back to your life, it’s going to come back as a series at Netflix with nearly everyone you came to love in the original Wet Hot American Summer.
