Legacy Continues: New & Old Faces in ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ 2025

In 2025, the latest installment of the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” series will be released, marking a return after 27 years from its last cinema debut and four years following an unsuccessful TV adaptation. This new movie isn’t disregarding the previous cinematic versions but instead introduces a fresh set of characters who find themselves in a remarkably familiar predicament.

In the upcoming sequel to “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” a band of five friends conceal their guilt following a lethal car crash. To dodge the repercussions of their actions, they swear an oath of silence. But a year on, a sinister figure disguised as a fisherman starts hunting them individually to force them to confront their past mistakes – prompting them to seek assistance from the two survivors of the 1997 Southport Massacre, as they find themselves entangled in a chilling echo of history that unites old and new characters.
