The upcoming season of the hit Netflix series will take place in the summer of 1991, which means that it will take place during the initial height of Milano’s real life popularity on the ABC sitcom Who’s the Boss?
It’s the very specific time period of Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later that likely informed the decision to cast Alyssa Milano in the first place.
Sadly, no character information was unveiled, but we have an idea how the actress could play into things.
With that in mind, it seems like an incredibly clever move to cast a notable actress from the era to make an appearance in order to capitalize on 1990s nostalgia in a major way.
