How the Cast of I Know What You Did Last Summer is Bringing Horror Back!

In other words, it can be relied upon that a reboot is constantly under consideration by movie studio executives whenever there’s a popular slasher franchise, along with the assurance of lots of violence.

Over the years, franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street have been reborn multiple times. Now, it’s I Know What You Did Last Summer’s turn to receive a follow-up in the series.

Since its initial release in 1997, the first film from the series was swiftly followed by a sequel the next year. However, fans have only seen occasional releases, such as a standalone movie released directly to DVD in 2006 and a TV series adaptation on Amazon Prime Video that came out in 2021.

Now, the franchise has returned to the big screen after a hiatus in the ’90s, featuring original actors Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr, as well as a fresh group of young talents.

Chase Sui Wonders plays Ava Brucks

Who is Ava Brucks? She’s one of five companions who face being pursued by The Fisherman, a year after they were involved in a car accident where they hit a pedestrian and concealed their misdeed. Ava steps up to spearhead the investigation into the unknown entity behind the enigmatic threats.

Has Chase Sui Wonders appeared in any other productions? Here are a few notable ones: She played significant roles in the comedy-slasher movie Bodies Bodies Bodies and Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire series The Studio, both released in 2025. You might also remember her from TV shows such as Generation and City on Fire, or her part in Sofia Coppola’s film On the Rocks.

Madelyn Cline plays Danica Richards

In the movie, we meet Danica Richards, one of the group friends who recently got engaged and may not be the most intellectually astute among them.

Has Madelyn Cline appeared in any other projects aside from Outer Banks and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery? Here are some films and series where she has also been featured: Boy Erased, This is the Night, and Stranger Things (season 2, with two episodes).

Jonah Hauer-King plays Milo Griffin

Who is Milo Griffin? He is Ava’s former partner and a member of the circle of friends that were being pursued by The Fisherman.

Has Jonah Hauer-King appeared in any other productions besides his roles on BBC dramas like Howards End (2017), Little Women (2017), World on Fire, The Little Mermaid live-action remake, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and Doctor Who where he played Conrad Clark?

Tyriq Withers plays Teddy Spencer

Who is Teddy Spencer within your circle of friends? Tyriq, who tends to be quite athletic, used to be betrothed to Danica.

As a movie critic, I’ve been pondering about Tyriq Withers’ impressive acting portfolio. Besides his captivating performances in “Atlanta,” “Tell Me Lies,” and “The Game,” he has graced our screens with his talent. Last year, he breathed new life into a ’90s classic black comedy, “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.” In the near future, keep an eye out for him in the Jordan Peele-produced horror film, “Him,” where he is set to deliver another unforgettable performance.

Sarah Pidgeon plays Stevie Ward

Who is Stevie Ward in this movie? She initially seems distant from her friends’ circle, yet she joins them for their road trip that eventually culminates in a tragic incident.

Has Sarah Pidgeon acted in any other productions, aside from The Wilds, Tiny Beautiful Things, and The Friend?

Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Julie James

What can be said about Julie James is that she is currently a psychology professor, but her past involves being a survivor of the 1997 Southport massacre and having left the town at some point thereafter.

Besides the teen drama “Party of Five,” Jennifer Love Hewitt made her major break with the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” Afterward, she has been part of various projects such as movies like “Heartbreakers,” “The Tuxedo,” and “Garfield: The Movie,” and TV shows including “Time of Your Life,” “Ghost Whisperer,” “Criminal Minds,” and the latest one being “9-1-1.” Additionally, she had a pop music career that spanned four albums from 1992 to 2002.

Freddie Prinze Jr plays Ray Bronson

Ray Bronson is an individual who survived from the initial movie, currently residing in Southport. He’s taken on the role as the proprietor and manager of a neighborhood tavern there.

What other movies or TV shows has Freddie Prinze Jr appeared in besides the I Know What You Did Last Summer series? He’s also known for roles in She’s All That, Down to You, Summer Catch, as well as the live-action Scooby-Doo films where he played Fred. On television, he starred in the sitcom Freddie and had a recurring role on 24. In animation, he voiced Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels and is currently hosting WWE Rivals.
