1''Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later'' is the much-belated follow-up to ''Film/WetHotAmericanSummer''. Just like its predecessor ''Series/WetHotAmericanSummerFirstDayOfCamp'', the series focuses on a single day at the camp, this time with all the characters grown up and gone their separate ways. ''Ten Years Later'' effectively wraps up the ''Wet Hot American Summer'' franchise.

3The series premiered on Netflix August 4th, 2017.

7!!This series contains examples of:
8* TheNineties: Specifically during UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush's term.
9* BaitAndSwitch: Andy doing donuts. When a motorcyclist roars into camp and rides around in circles, everyone gets excited. Then the camera pans over to what they're really looking at: Andy who is just standing there playing with two donuts.
10* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:After losing his fiancee and getting rejected by Katie again, Coop finally loses his optimism.]]
11* BrickJoke: Arty was originally just a kid voiced by Creator/SammLevine. 10 years later he's played by Samm Levine.
12* CharacterAgedWithTheActor: Though this time it works for the series.
13* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Steve is the only character that doesn't make a comeback. Justified in a sense, as he was a camper and didn't socialise.
14* ClassReunion: Summer camp reunion.
15* ComplexityAddiction: Ronald Reagan and George Bush are conspiring to buy the camp and destroy it, going so far as to use a nuclear missile to deal with any protestors. [[spoiler:Then we find out the whole thing was a ruse to boost the morale of the main characters.]]
16** [[spoiler:Every single plot point was part of the president's scheming, even unrelated stuff like Ben and [=McKinley=]'s psychotic nanny.]]
17* HappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:The camp is saved. Victor pops his cherry (albeit in a creepy three-way), Neil gets back with Shari, Gary opens up a new restaurant with Gene being his head chef, Andy reconnects with a woman he got pregnant, Coop gets his book published and his publisher reveals that she's in love with him. Finally, Mitch is revealed to have turned back into a human a year after the events of the reunion.]]
18* IBangedYourMom: Andy delivers a classic one against his successor.
19-->'''Andy:''' I'm your second-worst nightmare.\
20'''Camper:''' What's my first?\
21'''Andy:''' Me fucking your Mom.
22* KickTheDog: Ronald Reagan destroys a diorama, pisses on it and then takes a dump on it. He even pressures George Bush into taking a dump on top of his dump.
23* TheOtherDarrin: Ben was originally played by Bradley Cooper, but was replaced with Creator/AdamScott. It's remarked in-universe as having undergone rhinoplasty.
24* RememberTheNewGuy: Claire and Mark are obviously tacked-on, with a subplot that J.J. is secretly in love with Claire.
25* WillTheyOrWontThey: Coop and Katie's romance finally reaches its conclusion. [[spoiler:Coop's fiancée leaves him after seeing them kiss and Katie rebuffs Coop because she doesn't want to be his rebound girl. Coop starts dating his publisher instead.]]
