“I am dead.”
Sarah Michelle Gellar wants you to know she won’t be back for any new I Know What You Did Last Summer.
In her usual hilarious candor, the actress shared her excitement for the franchise’s return, which includes her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., making a comeback.
Bluntly, SMG says, “I am dead,” referring to her character, Helen Shivers’ fate. She adds, “My best friend [Jennifer Kaytin Robinson] is directing it, so we joke that I have an unofficial job, which is I am continuity. So I’m always the one telling her, ‘Well, that would happen, or that wouldn’t happen with those characters,’ so I do have kind of an unofficial job title.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt joins Prinze Jr. in the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, which also stars Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Haur-King.
“Jen’s put together such an amazing cast, and I’m so happy and excited for all of them,” Gellar hypes. “I will be there with moral support behind the camera.”
I Know What You Did Last Summer follows a group of teenagers who were part of a tragic hit-and-run and covered it up. One year later they are each stalked by a man wielding a hook who claims to know what they did and is out for revenge. It was released in 1997 and was followed by a sequel in 1998, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
The I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot will be released in theaters on July 18, 2025.
