I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot gets a release date

Sony Pictures has announced the release date of the new I know What You Did Last Summer film. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson of Do Revenge (2022) fame, the reboot of the slasher flick is scheduled to be released in theatres on July 18, 2025.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson co-wrote the screenplay along with Sam Lansky after an initial script from Leah McKendrick. Neal Moritz produces the film.

The new movie will be the fourth film entry in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. The original film, directed by Jim Gillespie, was released in October 1997. It was followed by 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and 2006’s I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. In 2021, the franchise was reimagined as a television series that debuted on Prime Video.

The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. were in talks to reprise their roles from the first film, but there is no confirmation on the same.

Filmmaker Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is also known for their work in 2019’s Someone Great. Robinson also co-wrote Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder, which was released in 2022, with Taika Waititi.

I know What You Did Last Summer will be clashing with Naked Gun reboot at the box office. The latter is directed by Akiva Schaffer that features Liam Neeson as bumbling detective Frank Drebin.
