Hopefully, nothing that you did last summer is going to come back and haunt you (literally) like the characters in the 2025 new movie I Know What You Did Last Summer. That’s right, the 90s horror movie franchise is back almost 30 years after the original, with a refresh that puts new characters at the center of the story, while bringing back some of the original stars.
We’ve seen this formula recently with the Scream franchise, with Scream (2022) and Scream VI being well received by critics and earning solid money at the box office. I Know What You Did Last Summer is hoping for a similar result, and not a repeat of the short-lived TV adaptation that premiered in 2021.
Before we find out which result comes true, here’s what you need to know about I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Here is the official synopsis for the I Know What You Did Last Summer refresh:
“When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the massacre of 1997 for help.”
