The Return of a Horror Classic

The chilling first trailer for *I Know What You Did Last Summer* grabs you right from the start! Released by Sony, the trailer made its debut online following a sneak peek at CinemaCon last month. Mark your calendars—this hotly anticipated sequel hits theaters on July 18!

A Familiar Face and New Faces in the Fright!

Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, this sequel breathes new life into the horror franchise that first terrified audiences back in 1997. Starring Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King, and Chase Sui Wonders, the film also sees the return of fan favorites Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., reprising their iconic roles from the original film and its 1998 follow-up.

Plot Twists That Will Keep You Guessing!

The gripping story unfolds around a tight-knit group of five friends who find themselves ensnared in a web of horror after making a pact to keep quiet about a tragic car accident. As their guilt festers, they become embroiled with two survivors of the infamous Southport Massacre from 1997.

"This isn’t the first time there’s been violence like this in Southport," Prinze ominously warns in the trailer. As tension mounts, Hewitt's character poses a haunting question that sets the stage for the thriller: "What did you do last summer?"

From the Minds Behind the Original!

With a gripping screenplay penned by Robinson and Sam Lansky, derived from an initial script by Leah McKendrick, the film promises to deliver a fresh yet familiar experience. Neal Moritz, a producer from the original film, is back to ensure this sequel lives up to its legacy.

Nostalgic Connections and Fan Desires!

The original *I Know What You Did Last Summer* took the world by storm upon its release on October 17, 1997, featuring a star-studded cast, including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe. With a story crafted by *Scream* writer Kevin Williamson, based on Lois Duncan’s novel, it captivated horror fans with its unforgettable villain wielding a hook.

Fans are buzzing about the possibility of seeing familiar faces return. Brandy, who co-starred in the earlier films, expressed her eagerness to contribute to the new project last year: "I need them to give me a call because I survived in that movie!" Her passion for the franchise showcases just how deeply this horror story has lodged itself in the heart of its fans.

Get Ready for a Thrilling Summer!

As excitement builds for the sequel, one thing is clear: *I Know What You Did Last Summer* is ready to chill spines once again. Will you be brave enough to face the darkness on July 18?
