It’s Not Over Yet: I Know What You Did Last Summer Returns With Familiar Faces

This new installment isn’t a remake or a reboot. It’s a legacy sequel that picks up years after the original 1997 slasher hit. Think Scream or Halloween style.

The Thriller Movie You’ve Been Waiting For

Just when you thought the hook-wielding killer was gone for good, he’s back. And so are the original stars. That’s right, I Know What You Did Last Summer is making a comeback, and it’s bringing Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. with it.

This new installment isn’t a remake or a reboot. It’s a legacy sequel that picks up years after the original 1997 slasher hit. Think Scream or Halloween style. Same world, older (maybe wiser) characters, new chaos, and plenty of new victims.

This time the story moves to North Carolina, where a new group of characters gets tangled up in secrets, lies, and someone who definitely remembers what they did last summer. Plot details are still under wraps, but we do know both Hewitt and Prinze Jr. are returning, which is a major win for fans who grew up watching the original.

Joining them is a new cast of fresh faces, including Madison Iseman, Spencer Neville, and Lana Condor. The vibe? A mix of old-school suspense with a modern twist. The team behind the film promises the same creepy tone, small-town paranoia, and emotional stakes that made the original a cult favorite.

So what can you expect? Foggy docks, sketchy locals, way too many secrets, and of course, that iconic figure in a raincoat showing up at the worst possible time. Whether you loved the original for the mystery or the pure 90s drama, this one looks ready to deliver both.

The release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the film is expected to hit theaters either later this year or early next. Once that trailer drops, expect a full wave of nostalgia and probably a few sleepless nights.

If you still remember what they did last summer, well, so does someone else. And they’re back to make sure no one forgets.
