The OGs return in their breakout roles

The anticipated followup to the iconic 1997 slasher film, “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” sees the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., back in the fray with their career-launching roles of Julie James and Ray Bronson.

For director and writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, having the two original actors was critical to the next installment of the franchise. “Working with Freddie and Jen was amazing,” says Robinson. “It was important to me to make sure that both of their stories felt like a continuation. We wanted to know, how would something like this affect them 27 years later? Who would they become, and how will that inform how they advise and help this younger group?”

In “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” five friends cause a deadly accident, and in fear of the consequences, covered up. As their past comes back to haunt them in the form of a murderous stalker, they dig up clues to a similar incident in 1997, and turn to the survivors for help.
