The iconic slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer became a cult classic over 25 years ago and continues to be celebrated in the horror genre. Fans were thrilled when news of a long-awaited sequel was announced earlier this year. While it’s unclear if the sequel will follow the same path as the original, horror enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating its release.
Legacy sequels like the rebooted Halloween trilogy and Candyman (2021) have received praise from both critics and audiences. However, the recent Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) didn’t fare as well. The buzz surrounding the slasher sequel raises numerous unanswered questions, from the potential cast to the hardworking crew behind the scenes.
Which stars could return?
The original film’s stellar cast, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe, played a significant role in its massive success and cultural impact. However, it remains uncertain if any of the original stars will return for the sequel. Sarah Michelle Gellar recently addressed the sequel in an interview, noting the “interesting” fact that her close friend is directing it. She acknowledged the challenge of her character being deceased but didn’t rule out the possibility. Similarly, Ryan Phillippe expressed openness to involvement despite his character’s fate.
Who is writing and directing?
The highly-anticipated horror sequel will be helmed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, known for her work as the screenwriter of Thor: Love and Thunder and the director of Do Revenge. Robinson happens to be the close friend mentioned by Sarah Michelle Gellar in her recent interview. Additionally, screenwriter Leah McKendrick is attached to pen the screenplay, and there are discussions with Neal H. Moritz to return as the producer.
While details and conversations about the project are being kept under wraps, there are ongoing discussions for the potential involvement of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Nonetheless, our excitement for the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel remains unwavering.
