The reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer is all set to arrive on OTT two months after its arrival in theatres. Writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's helmed the film which revolved around a group of friends who cover up a murder and agree to keep it a secret among themselves. However, someone who knows their secret keeps stalking them one by one, wielding a large fish hook as his main weapon—reminiscent of the villain from the 1997 film. The slasher thriller is set to premiere on Netflix on October 18.
The cast features Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King, Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Austin Nichols, Joshua Orpin and Gabbriette. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt reprised their roles as Ray Bronson and Julie James from the original 1997 film.
Upon its theatrical release, the film was received with mixed reviews from audiences and critics. Our CE review of the film read, "I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) wants to be an entertaining film that provides a safe thrill. But it ends up boring the audience that tries to dip their toe into a new franchise by having nothing to care about. It ends up letting down the fans of the original through a plot that subverts the legacy of the original."
The script was co-written by Robinson and Sam Lansky, based on an earlier draft by Leah McKendrick. The original film too centred on a similar plot. Based loosely on Lois Duncan's novel, the success of the film led to the 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. A third film, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006), was a stand-alone installment with a different storyline and cast.
