Article Summary
- Jennifer Love Hewitt expresses excitement for Julie James' mature return in the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' revival.

It's been a few decades since the release of the classic horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer, which quickly became a summertime slasher favorite for knowing how to have some unserious fun. Then, shortly after, there was the release of the equally compelling second installment, which took the two survivors (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddy Prinze Jr.) to a brand-new location with just as much carnage.
While the third film offered no real connection (very much a product of the direct-to-DVD era), the franchise is finally maneuvering back into the fray in a mainstream way as Sony plans to revive its nostalgic genre scares for another modern chapter. And after months of speculation, Hewitt is sharing her thoughts on the return of Julie James.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is Excited for a Mature Version of Julie James
While chatting with ET, the two-time I Know What You Did Last Summer lead discussed her return, noting, "It's in the cooker, let me just say that. I've done a couple of preliminary phone calls. Honestly, it's just wild to even think about. Truly, if it comes together, I think I don't even know how I'm going to feel except extremely overwhelmed and grateful. Honestly, terrified because it's 26 years later." Hewitt then goes on to add, "There's power in being older. There's power in having gone off and had three kids. There's a sense of 'I can do anything now.' The vulnerability that was Julie James in one and two definitely doesn't exist in this one, I don't think. I'm excited to just show her grown-up."
The film's current release date is July 25, 2025, so it's only a matter of time before Sony Pictures kicks off production on the next installment of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. Do you have any specific hopes for the '90s horror staple's next entry?
