The summer of 2025 is a great time to be a horror fan. Recent releases include the franchise sequels Final Destination Bloodlines and 28 Years Later, and the new stories Weapons and Together are still on the way. And there's also a blast from late '90s past: the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, which, somewhat confusingly, has the same title as the original.
I Know What You Did Last Summer is the fourth movies in the franchise, following the original, the second movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the straight-to-video I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, which didn't feature any of the original cast and doesn't really count, tbh.
But if you love the first movie, then you're probably excited to see Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.) 28 years later (spooky!) as they reprise their roles. The plot's similar—a new group of friends accidentally kill someone only to unleash the wrath of a serial killer—but Julie and Ray are the wise, older survivors now. Wanna watch? Here's when and where you can check it out.
When is I Know What You Did Last Summer coming out?
I Know What You Did Last Summer hits U.S. cinemas on July 18, 2025—which really means July 17 for a lot of theaters with the movie actually premiering on Thursday rather than Friday.
How can I watch I Know What You Did Last Summer in theaters?
Just look up showtimes at your local cinema and buy tickets online—from the theater directly or through Fandango—or in person. And get popcorn. It's a slasher movie. You need something to nervously munch.
How can I watch I Know What You Did Last Summer at home?
You'll have to wait a little while if you want to watch the new I Know What You Did Last Summer at home since it is only being released in theaters at first. Eventually, it will probably show up on Netflix due to distributor Sony's deal with the streamer.
Sony releases tend to debut on Netflix three to four months after the theatrical premiere. So, for I Know What You Did Last Summer, this means you can expect it around October or November. (Mid-October would be perfect timing for Halloween, so that's my guess!)
Before Netflix, though, you'll probably be able to rent or buy the movie on a service like Amazon Prime Video for around $20 to $25. But, hey, that's more than a movie ticket (well, barely, for some places), so you might just want to make your way to the theater, if you can. And if you can stomach seeing "the Fisherman" killer on the big screen.
