Here’s the teaser/clip Netflix released forseason two:
LikeFirst Day of Camp,10 Years Lateris eight half-hour episodes. How many seasons Wain and all involved have in mind is unknown, but Wain has said before they’d “love to keep going,” and he doesn’t “think we’ll ever run out of stories to tell about these characters” (Source:Rolling Stone):
When the dust settles, we’ll think about whether there’s more to do on it … I think this world is somehow just endlessly interesting to me. Summer camp was a true defining experience in my own personal life, and so I’m not surprised that their tends to be more places to go there.
Besides those comments, the writer, producer, and director has said little about season two ofWet Hot American Summer. WhenUSA Todayrecently tried to press him for details, he revealed nothing. We do know Alyssa Milano isn’t the only latest addition to the series' ensemble, though. Joining the actress — who currently has a show in the works at the CW based on her graphic novel “Hacktivist” — isMark Feuerstein(Royal Pains). Feuerstein is playing a brand new character who’s always been an essential part of the camp’s team, as described byDeadline, which sounds like the kind of silliness we expect and hope for fromWet Hot American Summer.
