It’s back, and it’s got blood on its hands. The new I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer has dropped, dragging the cult ’90s slasher into 2025 with a savage grin and a familiar hook. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge), this instalment isn’t just a reboot. It’s a continuation, picking up after I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and reuniting us with terrorised sweethearts Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.).
The I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer reveals Southport’s curse lives on, but this time it’s a fresh crew of doomed twenty somethings who’ve got blood on their hands. Quite literally, after a hit and run that would make the OG gang proud. The trailer wastes no time serving up the goods either. Tense stares, seaside screams and the iconic “What are you waiting for?!” line that defined a generation of horror nerds. Nostalgia? Check. Brutality? Double check.
Joining the carnage are Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King and Sarah Pidgeon. The vibe is slick, stylish and dripping with dread, blending glossy modern horror with that salty, small town paranoia that made the original films stick. Robinson isn’t shying away from gore or heart, there’s a sense this flick knows exactly what fans want. A guilty pleasure slasher with teeth!
Set to hit cinemas on 18 July 2025, I Know What You Did Last Summer looks ready to reclaim its place in the horror hall of fame. Or at least in your guilty pleasure rotation. Whether you’re here for the body count or the callbacks, one thing’s clear. This summer, the past is ready to mess you up.
So, whether you’re craving pure slasher chaos or that sweet hit of ’90s nostalgia, this flick looks set to deliver both, with blood to spare.
