Jennifer Love Hewitt Teases Possible Return to ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Reboot (Exclusive)
I know what we’re doing this summer.
And it involves seeing Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. try to help a new crop of kids survive a hook-wielding killer—nearly 30 years after their two harrowing encounters. As the trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer proves, Southport, North Carolina, is in for a gruesome summer.
This time around, Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Haur-King will be the ones that fall victim to the mysterious hook-wielding killer after making a pact to keep their involvement in a fatal car accident to themselves.
And whether the gruesome events teased in the trailer—such as Haur-King’s character being repeatedly speared with a harpoon while the unsuspecting Outer Banks actress is soaking in a tub in the other room—are a gruesome manifestation of karma or a series of senseless crimes, it is nothing less than horrifying.
Along with the fresh faces joining the cast, Hewitt and Prinze will be reprising their roles from the 1997 film of the same name and its 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
“This isn’t the first time there’s been violence like this in Southport,” Prinze’s Ray Bronson stated in a chilling moment during the trailer. “It’s not going to stop.”
And a few moments later, Hewitt turns around in a perfectly dramatic moment, recognizing the pattern of events the new group of teenagers are experiencing all too well.
“I just have one question,” her character Julie James asks the teens during the suspenseful moment. “What did you do last summer?”
As for whether the other OG cast members—including Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar—will be making an appearance in the sequel? Gellar admitted that, for her, it seems unlikely. As she emphasized to People last October, “I am dead.”
But while her character may not have her redemption arc, the 48-year-old shared that she still has a small role in the making of the movie after visiting her husband Prinze and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson on set.

"My best friend is directing it,” the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star said of Robinson, “so we joke that I have an unofficial job, which is I am continuity. So I'm always the one telling her, 'Well, that would happen, or that wouldn't happen with those characters,' so I do have kind of an unofficial job title."
I Know What You Did Last Summer releases in theaters July 18. For more new and upcoming movies this year, keep reading.
