First Footage Revealed for 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Sequel

At CinemaCon, fans were given a sneak peek of the highly anticipated sequel to 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' featuring original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles as they mentor a new cast led by Madelyn Cline and Joshua Orpin. The trailer showcases a young couple's peaceful evening that turns deadly when a hook-wielding killer strikes, echoing the plot of the 1997 original where five friends are haunted by their past after a fatal accident. Prinze Jr. and Hewitt's characters serve as supporting figures rather than leads, with Prinze ominously stating, 'this isn’t the first time there has been violence like this in Southport.' The film aims to blend nostalgia with new suspense, set to release on July 18, 2025. Attendees reacted enthusiastically to the iconic lines from Hewitt, especially when she asked, 'What did you do last summer?' The project is directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who co-wrote the script with Sam Lansky.
