Nearly three decades after the original 1997 teen slasher became a cult classic, I Know What You Did Last Summer is making a highly-anticipated return — this time with a fresh-faced cast and a modern twist. A slick reimagining rather than a direct sequel, the 2025 film promises to honour its roots while delivering a darker, edgier take. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the reboot is set to hit cinemas worldwide on August 14th. Here’s what we know so far:
What’s the Plot?
Set in a remote coastal town, the story follows a group of high school graduates who, after a tragic accident on graduation night, make a pact to keep it secret — until, one year later, a chilling message appears: “I know what you did last summer.” From there, things spiral into paranoia, betrayal, and brutal revenge, with Robinson describing the reboot as a “psychological slasher” blending classic horror tropes with Gen Z’s very modern anxieties.
Who’s in the Cast?
The film stars a host of Hollywood’s rising stars, from Outer Banks’ Madelyn Cline, to Chase Sui Wonders (The Studio), Jonah Hauer-King (The Tattooist of Auschwitz), and up-and-comer Tyriq Withers, alongside supporting cast members Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, and Austin Nichols, with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt reprising their roles from the first two films.
