Jennifer Love Hewitt shares a new glimpse at the production of I Know What You Did Last Summer's reboot in a new behind-the-scenes video. The upcoming 2025 slasher horror reboot returns to the world and characters of the 1997 movie, picking up from the events of its 1998 theatrically-released sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Alongside Hewitt, I Know What You Did Last Summer's reboot will see the return of Freddie Prinze Jr. to reprise the role of survivor Ray Bronson.

As filming continues on the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, Hewitt took to Instagram to share a new video from the set. While she cannot be seen directly on-screen in the video, the clip sees someone use a clapper board for the movie that seemingly affirms the reboot's title, all while set to a rendition of Julie James' theme. However, Hewitt's caption states that "it was...

I Know What You Did Last Summer sees the beloved '90s horror thriller get a modern-day remake, with new and legacy characters around for the scary ride. One of the Og film's stars, Jennifer Love Hewitt, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming reboot as it ramps up production.

Via Instagram, Hewitt shared snippets from the set of Sony Pictures' I Know What You Did Last Summer remake, which has been filming since last November. The short clip shows a clapperboard being used as the cameras are rolling. In the caption, Hewitt credits director and co-writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, insisting she "crushed it" and sharing how glad she was to be reacquainted with her franchise character, Julie James.

There’s a new sequel to the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and its 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here) coming our way from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge). Robinson’s Do Revenge star Camila Mendes (Riverdale) was attached to star in the film at one time, but had to drop out due to scheduling issues with the Masters of the Universe movie, where she plays the Teela character. Mendes was replaced by Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies) – and while speaking to People, Wonders said the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel is going to be “really fun.”

The I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel is highly anticipated among fans for a few reasons, not the least of which is the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt, who portrayed heroine Julie James in the first two films. Hewitt's return was long reported, but it took a bit of time for the news to become official, which caused some to worry that a deal couldn't be reached to bring her back. Nevertheless, a deal was made, and now Hewitt's return is being teased in a set image featuring a perfect callback to the 1997 horror hit that started it all.

Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson took to Instagram to tease fans about Hewitt's return with a behind-the-scenes image from the set of the I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel, which features a piece of mail addressed to one Julie James. Eagle-eyed fans of the franchise will...

There’s a new sequel to the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and its 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here) coming our way from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) – and while Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played heroine Julie James in the first two films, and Freddie Prinze Jr., who was Julie’s boyfriend Ray Bronson in those films, are both back for this sequel, they are not the leads this time around. That doesn’t mean that fans aren’t eager to see their characters again anyway, and Robinson has taken to social media to tease the return of Julie James. Robinson shared an image that shows the character has received a piece of mail in the new film – and the handwriting on the envelope is reminiscent of the notes Julie was receiving from a hook-wielding killer nearly thirty years ago.

Jennifer Love Hewitt will return as ’90s slasher heroine Julie James in this year’s I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel from Sony, and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) has taken to Instagram this week to tease Julie’s comeback.

Kaytin Robinson shared a behind the scenes photo from the set of the new I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, showing off a piece of mail received by Love Hewitt’s Julie James.

We have a good feeling what the message inside the envelope may be…

The ’90s slasher franchise will return to theaters on July 18, 2025.

Freddie Prinze Jr. will also reprise his role from the original two I Know What You Did Last Summer movies, 27 years after the release of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Hollywood Interview (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Jennifer Love Hewitt is peeling back the curtain on Hollywood’s dark past, revealing the disturbing way she was sexualized as a teenager in the spotlight.

At just the tender age of 18, Hewitt rose to prominence after starring in the 1997 hit slasher film ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ and its sequel, ‘I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,’ but the attention she received was far from glamorous.

Instead of focusing on her talent, the media became obsessed with her looks, often reducing her to a “sex symbol” before she even understood what that meant.

Danny Cannon has racked up a lot of directing credits over the last 35 years, including credits on episodes of CSI, CSI: Miami, Dark Blue, Nikita, Shameless, Gotham, Pennyworth, and Gotham Knights, among others – but he’s best known for making a couple of feature films back in the 1990s: the poorly received Sylvester Stallone comic book adaptation Judge Dredd and the slasher sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (which is indeed canon to the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel that’s being made). Now, Deadline reports that Cannon has signed on to direct a high-concept horror thriller called Obey, which Altitude will be presenting to potential buyers at the European Film Market.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Judge Dredd director Danny Cannon has signed on to helm Obey, Deadline reports.

The masked intruder, known as Flip Face, orders them to “obey” if they ever want to see their son again in the high-concept horror thriller.

The film will be produced by Ross Dinerstein (The Void) for Campfire Studios, Josh Kesselman (1922) and Michael Sugar (Spotlight) for Sugar23, and Lindsay Macadam (Brain On Fire) for Great Pacific Media, which is providing production services for the project.

Editor’s Note: this hot take isn’t meant to be the final word on the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel. We’re looking forward to it here on the site, and this article is meant to start a fun debate on a movie that could be great – or not.

Can stop this absurd notion that Julie James is as important to the horror world as Sidney Prescott? In my opinion, she’s hardly even important in her own (short) franchise. It feels like an insult to a character that has been put through the ringer for over 30 years like Sidney. Especially when Julie’s exploits took place over just one year (1997-1998) and was mostly self-inflicted. Maybe don’t dump the body of the guy you and your friends murdered. Sidney was simply a victim of something she couldn’t control (her...

Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Jennifer Love Hewitt’s unforgettable portrayal of Julie James in the 1997 slasher hit I Know What You Did Last Summer isn’t just another horror movie performance – it’s a cultural touchstone that helped define an entire era of teen horror.

The way she brought Julie to life, from those iconic screams to those intense emotional moments, gave us one of the most compelling final girls in horror history.

Jennifer Love Hewitt discussed the wildly inappropriate comments some men would say to her after she appeared as a teenager in the classic horror film, I Know What You Did Last Summer. A loose adaptation of the late author Lois Duncan’s 1973 young adult novel of the same name, Hewitt portrayed Julie James in the 1997 film and its follow-up, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998). The actress spoke about dealing with those troubling sexual comments while appearing on Mayim Bialik's Breakdown podcast. Hewitt said:

"In my 30s, I sort of went back and looked at that time again, and I was like, 'Oh my god!' There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts openly on a talk show — and people were laughing about it [...] Like, I really didn’t take that part of it in, but in hindsight, it was very strange to...

Celebrity culture comes with its fair share of public brutality in the form of obsessive fan mobs and relentless paparazzi. The inability of media to separate a star’s personal and professional spheres has troubled almost every actor in the industry. Jennifer Love Hewitt, too, has had to face similar struggles, even more so after being sexualized as a teenager in Hollywood.

Now, as a grown adult who has survived a brutal and turbulent career and lived through the Me Too era, the 9-1-1 actress has come to appreciate some of its essences while recognizing the shortcomings of being exposed to the male gaze at such a young age.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is about to get a new sequel with a new cast and its two main legacy characters, through which it’s officially fixing the second movie’s ending, but risks repeating a huge legacy sequel mistake. Despite some failures, the horror genre continues to thrive with reboots and legacy sequels, through which it has brought back to life franchises that had seemingly ended years ago. Among the most exciting additions to this trend is I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is returning after a forgotten direct-to-video sequel in 2006 and a failed TV show in 2021.

There’s a new sequel to the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and its 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here) coming our way from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) – and while Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played heroine Julie James in the first two films, and Freddie Prinze Jr., who was Julie’s boyfriend Ray Bronson in those films, are both back for this sequel, they are not the leads this time around… Which you might have assumed, given the fact that Hewitt’s deal to return wasn’t closed until after filming had already begun.

Prinze confirmed that he and Hewitt are not the leads during an interview on the Scale Talk Podcast with David Miniatures. He said, with thanks to our friends at Bloody Disgusting for the transcription, “[Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson] just took such good care of Love’s character,...

It’s been 28 years since the original teen horror/slasher flick I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) premiered with its all-star cast featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillippe. With the reboot film set for a Summer 2025 release, Prinze Jr. is giving a few details on the new take on I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Per Comic Book, Prinze Jr. sat down to chat about the new movie on the Scale Talk Podcast With David Miniatures and said that while he and Hewitt’s characters appear in the new film, don’t expect to see a lot of their respective characters, Ray Bronson and Julie James.

“(Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson) just took such good care of Love’s character, Julie James, and my character, Ray Bronson,” said the Scooby-Doo actor. “They’re not the leads of the movie by any stretch of the imagination,...

The iconic ’90s slasher franchise ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ is set to make a comeback on July 18, 2025. Fans will be thrilled to see Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the original film and its sequel. However, the focus of the new movie won’t be on Julie and Ray, as they’ll serve more as legacy characters supporting a fresh cast of faces.

In an interview with the Scale Talk Podcast with David Miniatures, Freddie Prinze Jr. shared details about the new direction of the franchise. “[Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson] just took such good care of Love’s character, Julie James, and my character, Ray Bronson,” Prinze Jr. said. “They’re not the leads of the movie by any stretch of the imagination.’ That wouldn’t make sense—especially considering where their stories left off. It’s a new generation’s turn,...

While plot details for the I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel remain under wraps, we're now learning that the reboot will not focus on Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt's characters. The two will reprise their roles as Ray Bronson and Julie James from the original film and its 1998 sequel, but according to Prinze Jr., he and Hewiitt are "not the leads of the movie by any stretch of the imagination." Prinze Jr. recently appeared on Scale Talk Podcast with David Miniatures, where he discussed how co-writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) integrated Julie and Ray into the upcoming movie.

"[Kaytin Robinson] just took such good care of Love's character, Julie James, and my character, Ray Bronson. They're not the leads of the movie by any stretch of the imagination," Prinze Jr. explains in his new chat with the show." He added: "[Kaytin Robinson] made them such...

After failing to meet box office expectations, Max and Sam Eggers' directorial debut, The Front Room, has become a streaming success. When the psychological horror thriller landed in theaters in September, it was projected to gross $5 million but fell a bit flat, bringing in barely its supposed budget, $3.2 million; it also became A24's lowest-rated movie of 2024 on Rotten Tomatoes. The critically divisive film (which currently holds a 42% rating on the review site) now sits at the number two spot in Max's most streamed movies, topped only by Clint Eastwood's Juror #2.

Based on the 2016 short story of the same name by Susan Hill, The Front Room stars Brandy Norwood as Belinda, a pregnant woman whose life is thrown into disarray when her aging mother-in-law, Solange (Kathryn Hunter), moves in with Belinda and her husband. Solange's arrival creates tension; her eccentric behavior and weird demands push Belinda beyond her limits.

As good as 2024 has been for horror, there’s always a ying to any yang, and the other side of the coin was pretty rough. While we saw some major bombs in the way of The Crow and disappointing box office performances via Cuckoo, We’re talking about the truly bad. And wouldn’t you know it, this year most of them have been produced by one company. Blumhouse. I’m not sure why it is that they’ve seemingly become completely creatively bankrupt but I’ve experienced it in the theaters. The moment that Blumhouse logo comes up and an entire audience collectively sighs. And it wasn’t that way just a few years ago. But after killer Teddy Bears, an AI killer house, and a haunted Swimming Pool, they’ve definitely lost the plot. This may as well be called the “What the Hell Happened To Blumhouse” video,...

With all the news surrounding the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise as of late, you’ll be surprised to know that the original classic is currently not available to stream anywhere. It’s available on all VOD platforms to rent or buy, but when it comes to just sitting back and enjoying the movie with one of your already dozens of subscriptions that you pay for, you’re out of luck. At least, that's the case for a few more days because the teen horror flick has finally found a new streaming home ahead of the highly-anticipated legacy sequel next year.

Per What’s on Netflix, I Know What You Did Last Summer is coming to the world’s most popular streaming platform on Jan.1, 2025, which makes it the perfect way to ring in the new year if you need a nostalgic fix. Released in 1997, the film...

Jennifer Love Hewitt is officially coming back to her iconic role as Julie James in the I Know What You Did Last Summer series, and fans are thrilled! She first played Julie back in 1997, when the slasher movie, inspired by Lois Duncan’s novel, became a huge hit. She then reprised her role in the first sequel in 1998, making her name as one of the most memorable “final girls” in horror history.

The upcoming movie, set to release in 2025, will continue the story as a legacy sequel. Alongside Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr. will also return as Ray Bronson, Julie’s love interest from the original films.

According to Variety, the new cast includes some fresh faces like Madelyn Cline, Jonah Hauer-King, Chase Sui Wonders, Austin Nichols, Sarah Pidgeon, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Tyriq Withers, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Lola Tung,...

Jennifer Love Hewitt is set to return for a third film in the I Know What You Did Last Summer series, she announced on social media Friday.

Jennifer Love Hewitt addressed rumors of her return to the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, before confirming she would officially be reprising her role.

The actress stopped by the I’ve Never Said This Before With Tommy Didario podcast for its episode dropping on Tuesday. While speaking with the host, she seemingly gave a hint about potentially reprising her role of Julie James for the upcoming sequel, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.

“I am possibly preparing for that,” Hewitt confessed in a clip from the episode exclusively obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “I am so close to being able to say something that’s exciting.”

Up until this point, her involvement in the latest sequel had only been speculated upon, but now everything has been finally signed, sealed, and delivered.

Hewitt took to social media to make the big announcement (seen below), posting a photo of herself on Instagram looking into a mirror with cards featuring the film’s title all around her. "It’s never too late to go back," she said in the caption, before adding:

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, best known for writing and directing the Netflix movie Do Revenge, is the writer and director on the upcoming film.

“I will say it is truly such an honor, at 45, to even be invited back. To be thought of in that way, to not just move on to the newer, better, younger versions, but [to be offered] to come back and play that part is really cool,” Jennifer told Variety.

Beef between celebrities is certainly not uncommon in the entertainment industry. While some may openly talk about their distaste for each other, others leave room for speculation. Now, netizens are noticing a possible underlying beef between I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) actresses, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

The slasher film follows the story of a group of young adults who accidentally commit a murder and decide to form a pact to bury the news. However, their past catches up to them rather quickly. Considered to be a timeless addition to the genre, I Know What You Did Last Summer is currently working on a reboot. Although, it looks like the two stars might not be too stoked to possibly be working with each other. Or at least that’s what the Internet believes.

One of A24's new horror releases this year is scheduled to make its official streaming debut this January. It's the psychological horror film The Front Room starring Brandy Norwood, and it's coming to Max early next month. It will debut on the popular streaming platform on Friday, Jan. 3, 2025. Then, the next day, it will make its linear debut on HBO at 8:00 p.m. Et.

Like many other horror movies, The Front Room is based on another piece of work. It's based on Susan Hill's short story of the same name. Creative brother duo, Max and Sam Eggers, wrote the script for the film as well as directed it.

A24 released The Front Room in theaters back in September, and sadly, the overall critic and audience response wasn't too great. What's even worse is that it didn't do well at the box office. The horror flick generated very low box office numbers,...

I Know What You Did Last Summer, penned by horror legend Kevin Williamson, will soon have a new streaming home. The film will be available on Netflix from Jan. 1, 2025.

Williamson's film debut began in 1996 with the release of Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer followed one year later. The film stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Philippe and Freddie Prinze Jr., four teenage friends who are stalked by a killer after they try to cover up the events of a car accident that supposedly killed a man. I Know What You Did Last Summer was released during 1997's Halloween season, grossing over $125 million against its budget of $17 million and maintaining the top spot at the U.S. box office for three consecutive weeks.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is revealing that she actually “got in a bit of trouble” for posting a photo from the set of the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot.

The actress, who starred in the original 1997 film, alongside now-husband Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Phillippe, shared an on-set photo on Nov. 27 of a chair with the film’s title on it, causing quite a stir on social media surrounding the remake.

It will ignore the 2006 film I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, which featured a completely different cast and was poorly received.

As with any reboot or sequel, I Know What You Did Last Summer risks misinterpreting the previous movies, which have gained a cult following over the past 26 years.

Ben Willis, aka The Fisherman, was the seemingly unkillable villain of the original trilogy. Believed to be a normal man who set out to take revenge on the group of teens who left him for dead in the first movie, he survived all manner of carnage in the two sequels with zero explanation.

Whether this will turn out to be Willis or a copycat killer remains to be seen.

The studio has also confirmed that both Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are set to reprise their respective roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson, but there's no mention of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Last week, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star posted an Instagram photo from the set,...

There’s a new sequel to the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and its 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here) coming our way from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) – and the project’s official X account has just unveiled a behind-the-scenes image to announce that production is underway!

The image shows a clapperboard for the filming of scene 50B, which involves a computer monitor that looks like it’s left over from the ’90s and a hook that has a slightly different design than the hooks we saw in the previous movies:

Robinson is directing the film from a screenplay by Leah McKendrick (M.F.A.), which has received some rewrites from Robinson and journalist Sam Lansky.

It's time to get hooked again, horror fans! I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of the latest films to get the legacy treatment, and as fans wait to hear if Sony has locked down a deal with Jennifer Love Hewitt to officially bring back Julie James, the studio is giving horror fans a little treat to let them know the Fisherman is ready to stalk again.

Per the official X page for the film, production has started on I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is shooting in Australia. The caption makes it clear that the film will be released exclusively in theaters and features an image of the Fisherman's infamous hook, which has become synonymous with the franchise. It's a nice little tease that should please fans as they hope the legacy sequel lives up to expectations when it's released next summer.

The Fisherman has returned! In a social media post announcing that production has commenced on the I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel, Sony has revealed the first look at the slasher franchise's antagonist, The Fisherman.

Shared on the official Instagram pages for I Know What You Did Last Summer and Sony Pictures, the behind-the-scenes image shows a clapperboard and The Fisherman, who is largely out of frame except for his right hand and the character's iconic fishing hook. "Production is underway for #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer. Exclusively in theatres this summer," the post's caption reads. The official I Know What You Did Last Summer post comes less than a week after Sarah Michelle Gellar shared an image from the sequel's set on her Instagram account. Gellar, who co-starred in the original movie with her future husband Freddie Prinze Jr., was likely on set to support Prinze, who is reprising his role as Ray Bronson.

Original I Know What You Did Last Summer stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. now look set to reprise their respective roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson for the upcoming legacy sequel, and co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar might just be joining them.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer star recently reminded an interviewer that her return was highly unlikely since her character, beauty queen Helen Shivers, was killed off in the first movie, but fans are now speculating that she might be set to reprise her role after all thanks to the following photo Gellar shared to Instagram.

While it's entirely possible Gellar has a role in the movie (and not necessarily the late miss Shivers), it's far from the only explanation for her presence on set. Gellar is married to Prinze Jr., and is also close friends with director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.

Some of our favorites will be returning for the upcoming sequel of ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ – think Freddie Prinze Jr and Jennifer Love Hewitt – and some won’t be – think Sarah Michelle Gellar. But that’s not a deal breaker because we’ve got a lot of exciting new stars ready to hop on the train of the slasher film.
