The past won’t stay buried, and neither will this franchise. Sony’s just dropped the official trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer, and it’s bringing some serious ‘90s horror nostalgia back with a bloody vengeance. Set to hit theaters July 18, this reboot-sequel hybrid aims to carve out its place in a genre now dominated by reboots and legacy characters.
This time, it’s a new crop of unlucky twenty-somethings who find themselves tangled in a familiar nightmare. After a car crash with deadly consequences, five friends choose silence over confession. A year later, someone decides to remind them that secrets don’t stay buried — and neither does guilt.
Enter: the survivors. Fans of the OG 1997 slasher will be thrilled to see Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. back in action, reprising their iconic roles. Their characters connect with the new victims as the familiar pattern of stalking and slashing unfolds. And yes, the past may be more connected to the present than anyone’s ready for.
Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, and others round out the fresh cast, stepping into a franchise that has haunted teen dreams for decades. Meanwhile, director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is keeping some cards close to the chest — especially when it comes to whether Brandy might return as Karla. Her response? “You’ll have to go see the movie.”
The original film — featuring Hewitt, Prinze, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe — became a defining teen horror hit, spawning two sequels and a legion of imitators. The latest entry isn’t just a remake. It’s a resurrection, one that connects the blood-soaked legacy of Southport with a new generation of scream queens and doomed protagonists.
Get ready to run — or don’t, because it never helps. I Know What You Did Last Summer opens July 18, and judging by the trailer, the killer hasn’t lost his edge… or his hook.
