"Wet Hot American Summer" was a flop when it was released in theaters back in 2011, but has since become a cult classic when people realized they could just enjoy the film on DVD.
Netflix is reportedly in talks about a deal with movie creators David Wain and Michael Showalter for a prequel series based on the film, according to aceshowbiz.
If the prequel series was given the green light, Wain and Showalter would write the scripts for Netflix, with Universal "mulling boarding" the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Although Netflix has yet to comment on whether the prequel for "Wet Hot American Summer" will be streaming on the website, sources have reportedly confirmed it to The Hollywood Reporter after Variety announced the big news.
The original cast of the film is reportedly set to return for the prequel series, despite most of them being in their 40s now.
The cast members, including Hyde Pierce, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Christopher Meloni, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper and Amy Poehler, are not expected to appear in every episode of the series.
The cast may shoot their scenes in just a few days.
The film grossed less than $300,000 in the U.S. when it was initially released.
David Wain revealed that he had plans to make a sequel or prequel to "Wet Hot American Summer" in 2011, but was rejected.
"I told them we would be willing to do a new prequel teaser short for it and new interviews and new material but they were like, 'No, nobody buys it. Nobody cares,'" stated the creator.
Back in 2012, Showalter had expressed that he was preparing a follow-up for the comedy as well.
"We are working on a prequel; it's six months to a year earlier than when the original movie was - except the actors playing those characters are 10 years older," stated Showalter during an interview with "Geeking Out With Kerri Doherty.
Wain had stated in February 2012 that, despite their work on a potential script, it would be unclear whether a prequel would actually be happening.
"What I'm saying is we're writing the script and sort of making the initial preparations. No movie is a guarantee until it's in theaters. But we're at that stage of the process and we intend to make it. Can I guarantee that it's going to happen? Of course not," concluded Wain.
