I Know What You Did Last Summer Trailer Brings the Hook Back to Southport

The classic horror movie series “I Know What You Did Last Summer” from the 90s is making a comeback, with a fresh take set to hit cinemas this summer. Here’s the complete trailer for this new chapter in the franchise that you can watch below. Long-time fans will be thrilled to see Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their roles, while newer audiences might appreciate the addition of rising stars like Madelyn Cline (“Outer Banks”), Chase Sui Wonders (“The Studio”), Jonah Hauer-King (Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”), Tyriq Withers (“Him”), Sarah Pidgeon (“Tiny Beautiful Things”) and others joining the cast.

The complete trailer for “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (2025) begins by showcasing a few main characters, Cline and Hauer-King, joyfully making their way towards their wedding day. However, a chilling reminder of the ominous phrase “I Know What You Did Last Summer” crashes their engagement party, leading to a chain of events where bodies start mysteriously dropping, as the fisherman killer targets their group of friends, one after another. With no other options left, the survivors seek help from those who survived the Southport Massacres of the ’90s: Julie James (Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Prize Jr.).

From a cinephile’s perspective, I can’t help but ponder: “Karma’s a real game-changer.” The intrigue lies in whether this revival will successfully inject fresh twists into the classic Young Adult horror tale penned by Lois Duncan. Will the legacy characters be reimagined in innovative ways? Who among them could potentially be the sinister force at work, or even multiple malefactors?

The tagline’s allusion to “karma” implies that an old character might make a shocking comeback, creating a link between the remake and its original form in a way we didn’t anticipate.

In a fresh take on storytelling, Amazon’s TV series adaptation of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (2021) managed an innovative approach but unfortunately didn’t escape cancellation after just one season. This upcoming movie reboot aspires to emulate the success of the “Scream” franchise, which successfully resurrected itself through a legacy sequel/reboot in 2022, popularly known as “Scream V”. Notably, July 2025 is poised to be one of the busiest months at the cinema in recent memory, with releases like “Jurassic World Rebirth”, “Superman” and “Fantastic Four: First Steps”. However, “I Know What You Did Last Summer” will stand out as a unique horror alternative to these blockbuster franchise offerings.

I Know What You Did Last Summer will be released in theaters on July 18th.
