If you ask the typical particular person what they did final summer time, the reply is probably going going to be: “Not much, because there was a pandemic.” But for the teenagers within the new Amazon Studios horror collection I Know What You Did Last Summer, it’s one thing lots deadlier. And it’s in all probability going to have penalties.

During a San Diego Comic-Con @ Home panel, Amazon Studios revealed that I Know What You Did Last Summer will probably be debuting its first season this October. Showrunner Sara Goodman (Preacher, Gossip Girl) shared her pleasure for the upcoming mission, which is a reimagining of the 1973 novel set within the modern-day, and is not a direct reboot or sequel to the 1997 horror movie. Goodman stated she beloved the thought of doing a present the place each most important character is “guilty of something” (very similar to Gossip Girl). Plus, the title is simply actually cool.

“I mean, what else is there but the title? Even if you’ve never read the novel or seen the movie, the title just sticks with everyone. It gives you that pit-in-your-stomach fear,” Goodman stated. “Because I think, on some level, everyone has done something that they don’t want other people to know about.”

I Know What You Did Last Summer relies on a novel of the identical identify by Lois Duncan, which itself was become a delightfully campy movie starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. It got here throughout the Scream-propelled onslaught of slasher movies within the late ‘90s, with the added benefit of bringing a younger audience into the terrifying fold. This new series will have a few key differences from its big screen predecessor. For example, it takes place in Hawaii and not coastal New England. But don’t fear, gore followers: it nonetheless has tons and many blood.

Amazon Studios’ I Know What You Did Last Summer is ready to return in October.
