The reboot, which will continue the 1997 slasher film, is set to be directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and is expected to open on July 18, 2025.

“Nothing’s a lock until there’s ink on paper, until the contract’s signed, but I’m definitely talking to them,” Prinze Jr. told Us Weekly recently. “And if we can make everything work — and I know they wanna make everything work, I know I wanna make everything work — then we’ll try and make it work. But we gotta make sure everyone’s schedules fit.”

Prinze Jr. says that “everybody has to be happy with the script” and knows the director of the reboot, adding, “I like Jen Robinson very much as a director and as a person. I think people like her are the future of this business. So there’s a lot of good things that make me want to do the movie.”

Sources recently told Deadline that Sony Pictures is in talks with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. to reprise their roles.

“I’m motivated, I know they’re motivated. I know both sides are trying to make it work. And hopefully we do,” Prinze Jr. said.

The new reboot has cast Camila Mendes, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Hauer-King in the leading roles.

Robinson co-wrote the screenplay with Sam Lansky after an initial script from Leah McKendrick.

The 1997 film, directed by Jim Gillespie and written by Kevin Williamson, was loosely based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel of the same name.

I Know What You Did Last Summer also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Johnny Galecki, and Bridgette Wilson. The film received a sequel in 1998, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and a third installment, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer , was released in 2006 with an all-new cast.

A television series was released in 2021 on Amazon’s Prime Video and was canceled after only one season.
