Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for its sequel to the 1997 slasher hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer," setting a U.S. theatrical release date of 18 July 2025. Marketing for the picture ramped up with new character posters published on 23 June and a round of publicity interviews in early July. Original cast members Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. return to reprise their roles, telling Entertainment Tonight that the film leans heavily on the franchise’s 1990s roots while introducing a new storyline aimed at contemporary audiences. The studio has not yet disclosed the film’s official title or budget, but emphasized that the project is designed as a direct continuation of the first movie rather than a reboot.
