 -- Who's ready to go back to camp?

Many of the stars from "Wet Hot American Summer" signed on to the Netflix revival of the 2001 film, and now fans have a sneak peek as to what to expect.

"For us, the original movie was about the notion of finishing unfinished business. That idea that you have one day to do all the things you wish you'd done but were too afraid," said writer-director David Wain. "The series is about establishing your identity."
