In the age of reboots and revivals, cult classics and fan favorites are making a return to the big screen and bringing in an entirely new audience with a modern twist on its story. The newest addition to the reboot family is I Know What You Did Last Summer, which was released in 1997. The new film, with the same name, brings in new stars like Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders. 

But the original film, which spanned three films and a limited series in 2021, deserves the same love as the new movie. Reminisce back to 1997 by catching up with the cast of the original I Know What You Did Last Summer and finding out where Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr. and the stars are today!

Thoughts on I Know What You Did Last Summer: “Seeing how it landed with people, my life changed after that opening weekend,” Hewitt explained. “But it wasn’t until some time went by that I realized—oh, people are watching this every year! Either on the fourth of July or on Halloween, or sometimes both. And Julie James, she’s a real thing.”
