I Know What You Did Last Summer, loosely based on Lois Duncan’s novel of the same name, hit the big screens in 1997 – and will now return later this year 

Production for the highly-anticipated film started in October 2024 and filming wrapped up last month.  

The synopsis reads: ‘When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. 

‘A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. 

‘As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.’

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer was released in 1998, followed by I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer in 2006.
