Novel

[edit]
Main article: I Know What You Did Last Summer (novel)

In 1973, Lois Duncan's I Know What You Did Last Summer was published. It was republished as a tie-in to the film in 1997 and once again in 2018 with some of its content modernized. The film adaptation reenvisioned the story of the novel as a violent slasher film, as opposed to the slow-burn mystery nature of the novel.

In September 2014, Sony Pictures revealed plans to remake the film, with Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard writing the script. The film was a high priority and was initially set for release in 2016. The project required an estimated budget of $15–20 million.[1][2] Flanagan confirmed that his new iteration of the franchise would be a reboot and not include elements of the 1973 novel nor of the 1997 feature film.[3] The project was ultimately never made and was subsequently canceled.[4]

In February 2023, after years of remaining in development hell, a legacy sequel was announced to be in development with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. in negotiations to reprise their respective roles.[5] In March, however, Prinze Jr. stated that he had not yet signed on to reprise his co-starring role.[6][7][8] In December, Hewitt stated that she would definitely reprise her lead role.[9][10] Prinze Jr. was confirmed as part of the cast in September 2024,[11] and the untitled film is scheduled for a release date of July 18, 2025.[12]
