If you need any further proof of Netflix's growing clout, just look at the cast they've assembled for their new comedy series, which has just arrived on their library.

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is a prequel TV series to the cult 2001 comedy film Wet Hot American Summer, starring a then-little known cast featuring some of the biggest comedy actors of today - including Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, Bradley Cooper, and Paul Rudd.

The eight-episode season takes place on – you guessed it – the first day of Camp Firewood, Maine in the summer of 1981. Not only have Netflix managed to reunite the entire original cast for the series, but they’ve brought incredible additions too. Take a look at all the actors, comedians and celebrities who have assembled for one of the starriest casts we've ever seen in, well, anything.

Though the original film is little-known in the UK despite its cult reputation, the series is another impressive addition to Netflix’s original programming – and for those hoping to watch the original film before they make a start on the series, you can even watch that on Netflix too. Say hello to your new weekend plan.
