'Wet Hot American Summer' News: Amy Poehler Talks Netflix Series

Fans of 2001's 'Wet Hot American Summer' are in high anticipation for the movie's prequel series to kick off on Netflix later this month.

The series is see many of the film's original stars reprise their roles, along with many other notable actors along for the reunion.

In a recent interview with EW, actress Amy Poehler spoke about the experience and what we can all expect.

"It's been really cool," Poehler states. "Because the people that are shooting the series love the movie.... It does have that vibe, that feeling of, "Can we pull this off?", which I think can be important in comedy. It's so much better than it being this gigantic, luxurious, indulgent production. You can feel a scrappiness to it that was in the original film, which was good. And it's just the right amount of dirty and weird.... It's just been a lot of us laughing and talking about the past 15 years. It's very strange that you get to punctuate your life in that way, circle back around and be like, "Look at these same people!" Just like the shooting of the film, it feels really fun, and also no one is taking it too seriously, which is important. I mean, we're saying ridiculous things."

She also goes on to explain what differences we'll see in her character Susie.

"We're going to see that she's a sexual person. Maybe in the movie, you were like, "What's her deal?" And then in the show, you realize, "Ahh, she's not getting laid." And it's bothering her. She's like, "Why doesn't my boyfriend like me?" Her boyfriend, played by Bradley, is just not into it.... And then enter Claude Dumet [a Broadway director played by John Slattery who comes to Camp Firewood to stage a staff musical]. She's very impressed by his long list of credits."

'Wet Hot American Summer' premieres on Netflix on July 31.
