Original I Know What You Did Last Summer stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are set to reprise their respective roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson for the upcoming legacy sequel, and co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar might just be joining them.
The Buffy The Vampire Slayer star recently reminded an interviewer that her character, beauty queen Helen Shivers, was killed off in the first movie, but it looks like she may still return in some capacity if this photo the actress shared from the set is anything to go by.
Check out Gellar's post at the link below.
Riverdale alum Camila Mendes recently parted ways with Sony Pictures' upcoming slasher "requel" after signing on to play the female lead in Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films' Masters of the Universe movie, in which she'll play Teela. Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Hauer-King are still on board for supporting roles in IKWYDLS, but character details are under wraps.
Of course, I Know What You Did Last Summer already has a couple of sequels in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, but neither was as successful as the first, so it's hardly surprising that Sony would be taking a page out of the new Halloween trilogy's play book and ignoring everything that came after the original.
Prime Video also released a small-screen spin-off in 2021, but the show was cancelled after a single season.
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge, Someone Great) has signed on to direct the new movie, with Leah McKendrick (Deviant Love; M.F.A.) penning the script, which is based on an original sequel idea she developed with Robinson.
