Sony Pictures Entertainment is previewing the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot-sequel starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, who will reprise her role as Julie from the original 1997 film, as well as Freddie Prinze Jr. returning as Ray Bronson.

The new film is the fourth installment in the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” franchise and will serve as a direct sequel to the 1998 original, in which a group of friends are haunted by a hook-handed killer one year after they killed a man in a hit-and-run accident.

Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon star as a new group of young people who cover up a crime and are subsequently stalked by a vengeful killer, which also features Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez. According to the official synopsis, the friend group got away with causing a fatal car accident and even created “a pact to keep it a secret. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…”
