*I Know What You Did Last Summer* (2025) – Official Trailer | Madelyn Cline, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King 🔪🌊
Get hooked on the chilling legacy sequel to the ‘90s slasher classic, *I Know What You Did Last Summer*, slashing into theaters July 18, 2025! Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (*Do Revenge*, *Thor: Love and Thunder*), who co-wrote the screenplay with Sam Lansky from a story by Leah McKendrick, this R-rated horror thriller is the fourth film in the franchise and a direct sequel to *I Still Know What You Did Last Summer* (1998). Five friends—played by Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, and Sarah Pidgeon—cover up a deadly car accident, only to be stalked a year later by a hook-wielding killer who knows their secret. Desperate, they turn to Southport Massacre survivors Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.), reprising their iconic roles from 1997. With Billy Campbell, Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Austin Nichols, and Gabbriette Bechtel, the film promises “brutal” kills and “popcorn summer fun” (People). Shot in Sydney, Australia, with a $20M budget, its trailer, featuring a nod to Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and set to a Type O Negative vibe, hit 178.7M views in 24 hours (Deadline). Critics call it a “nostalgic, bloody throwback” with a *Jaws*-inspired coastal aesthetic (Hollywood Reporter). Can the new teens outrun the Fisherman’s revenge? 🛥️💉

🎬 In theaters July 18, 2025, from Sony Pictures Releasing, Columbia Pictures, and Original Film!
