The I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise is making a chilling comeback with a brand-new prequel. Fans of the classic '90s slasher series can expect fresh thrills as the next chapter delves deeper into the story that terrified a generation.
Originally released in 1997, I Know What You Did Last Summer was loosely based on Lois Duncan’s novel of the same name. The film became a massive box office success, securing its place as a horror classic. According to Box Office Mojo, it ranked as the seventh highest-grossing slasher film as of 2021, cementing its legacy in the genre.
The upcoming prequel will serve as a continuation of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, the 1998 sequel. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the new instalment will see the return of two original cast members, with Jennifer Love Hewitt reprising her role as Julie James and Freddie Prinze Jr. stepping back into the shoes of Ray Bronson. Their comeback has sparked excitement among longtime fans, eager to see how the story will unfold.
Production on the highly anticipated film began in October 2024, and filming officially wrapped last month. While plot details remain under wraps, the return of the franchise promises to bring a fresh dose of suspense and nostalgia to audiences.
With horror revivals gaining momentum in Hollywood, I Know What You Did Last Summer is set to make a triumphant return, delivering a new take on the tale of secrets, revenge, and the past that never stays buried.
