‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' Gets a Modern Reboot—Here's How to Watch
Released in theaters today, the film introduces a new cast of characters—including Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Danica (Madelyn Cline), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon), and Teddy (Tyriq Withers)—who become entangled in a hit-and-run coverup eerily similar to what happened in 1997. When a masked killer starts targeting them, they discover the events of the past are far from buried, and that the only people who might have answers are Julie and Ray.
While the sequel honors the campy thrills and iconic visuals of the original, Robinson brings new emotional stakes to the story. 'I wanted it to be something that felt like a twin flame to the 1997 original,' she told IndieWire, adding that the film explores 'what accountability looks like today.' When it came to her influences for the film, 'Jaws was a big one,' she said.
For Hewitt, returning to the role came with what she described as 'immediate fear and panic.' She told USA Today, 'Coming back at 46 is really daunting in Hollywood, for lots of reasons. You don't want people to be like, 'Oh, she looks different,' or 'She's aged.' You don't want any of that.'
So, how can you watch the reboot?
Not quite. I Know What You Did Last Summer is currently playing exclusively in theaters, with a digital release expected later this fall. Given distributor Sony's existing deal with Netflix, the film is likely to hit the platform just in time for spooky season.
Before its streaming debut, the film will likely become available to rent or purchase on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+. And if you're looking to revisit the full franchise, the original 1997 film is also available to buy or rent online.

Donald Trump says Beyoncé should be 'prosecuted' for alleged Harris endorsement payment
Donald Trump still has a political bone to pick with Queen Bey. The president, who has previously voiced criticism of celebrities who showed support for his election counterpart, Kamala Harris, took to social media on Saturday, July 26, to renew his unfounded claim that pop star Beyoncé was allegedly paid $11 million to endorse Harris' presidential bid. In the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, the "Cowboy Carter" songstress made her endorsement of Harris official when she appeared at the former vice president's abortion rights rally in her hometown of Houston in October. She also cleared the usage of her 2016 song "Freedom" for Harris, and the tune became the Democratic nominee's official campaign song. "I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats after the presidential election and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, $11 million dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note...)," wrote Trump in a fiery Truth Social post, also citing alleged endorsement payments to media mogul Oprah Winfrey and civil rights activist Al Sharpton. USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Beyoncé for comment. "Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!" Trump concluded. "Kamala and all of those that received endorsement money BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter." Trump's digital tirade comes just two months after he accused the Grammy-winning singer and other celebrities of being paid to publicly support Harris' candidacy. In a May Truth Social post, the GOP president announced plans for a "major investigation" into the Harris campaign's celebrity endorsements. Catch up: Trump calls Beyoncé's endorsement of Kamala Harris 'illegal' Did Beyoncé receive payment for Kamala Harris endorsement? At the time of Trump's original allegations in May, the Federal Election Commission had no record of an $11 million payment to Beyoncé from Harris' presidential campaign. Additionally, the agency does not have rules explicitly prohibiting candidates from paying for endorsements. It is unclear where Trump got the unsubstantiated $11 million figure. The Harris campaign last year rejected a rumor that it paid Beyoncé $10 million for her endorsement that spread on social media shortly after the music star's October 2024 appearance with Harris. Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, also pushed back at the $10 million rumor in a November 2024 Instagram post, calling it "false information" and a "lie." She added that the singer "actually paid for her own flights for her and her team." Oprah Winfrey says she was not paid a 'personal fee' for Kamala Harris rally What has Beyoncé said about Kamala Harris campaign? During her October 2024 appearance at Harris' rally, Beyoncé, who was joined by fellow singer and Destiny's Child alum Kelly Rowland, said "It's time for America to sing a new song" when describing Harris' presidential bid. "I'm not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother," the pop star added. "Your freedom is your God-given right, your human right." Harris has long been a fan of Beyoncé. The California-born politician attended the singer's Renaissance World Tour in 2023 just outside of Washington, D.C., after she gifted Harris tickets.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Has 'No Idea' How Feud Rumors With Sarah Michelle Gellar Even Started
There is no feud, people! That is what Jennifer Love Hewitt wants everyone to know when it comes to her relationship with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the wake of the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel release. But the 46-year-old actress seems just as perplexed as everyone else as to how the rumors even began. More from SheKnows Freddie Prinze Jr. Shuts Down the 'Hot' Hollywood Couple Myth About Sarah Michelle Gellar Marriage Hewitt had to go all the way back to 1997 — yes, 28 years ago — to figure out why people believe they are frenemies. 'I honestly don't even know what that was or how that all came to be,' she said in a July 18 interview with Vulture. 'I just think people don't want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?' 'I haven't seen Sarah,' she continued. 'Literally, we've not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That's why it's so funny to me. People were like, 'Say something back.' And I'm like, 'What am I going to say? I've not seen her.' On my side, we're good. I have no idea where this is coming from.' So, while they aren't besties, they don't hate each other either. Hewitt and Gellar went their separate ways in 1997 and lived their lives. There isn't any bad blood, and even Gellar had to address the situation in a July 16 Instagram post. 'For everyone asking – I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened,' Gellar wrote in the comments. 'And unfortunately, JLH didn't come to the after party. If you have ever been to one of these, it's crazy. I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.' This isn't the first time Gellar has addressed their reported feud — it reared its ugly head in December 2024 after she had an awkward interview with Extra. Fans thought she was dissing Hewitt, but Gellar insisted she didn't want to reveal any I Know What You Did Last Summer spoilers ahead of filming. Gellar, who also starred in the 1997 film with Hewitt and her now-husband Freddie Prinze Jr., wasn't in the sequel because — spoiler alert — her character was killed in the first movie. She's now busy working on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot for Hulu. So, let's call this Hollywood case closed. Hewitt and Gellar might not be Sunday brunch besties, but they are proving that their so-called celebrity feud is of SheKnows 29 Times Gisele Bündchen's Red Carpet Fashion Proved She's the Ultimate Supermodel 68 Celebrities Who Share a Famous Ex 6 Sexy Celebrity-Owned Lingerie Lines, Made From Rihanna to Sofia Vergara Solve the daily Crossword

Jennifer Love Hewitt Heartbreakingly Reveals She Doesn't Know if She ‘Ever Recovered' From This 2007 Paparazzi Moment
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been in the spotlight for decades; and heck, fans have practically grown up with her! We've seen her as a child actor turned teen 'it' girl into a beloved TV actor we can't get enough of. She's been seen as a sex symbol for so long, but recently, she's opened up about the dark side of that status, and how it gave her the one instance she felt insecure about herself. In a recent interview with Vulture, the I Know What You Did Last Summer star said, 'Before I even knew what sex was, I was a sex symbol. I still don't know that I have that fully defined for myself because it started so weird.' But along with grappling that, there was a popular 2007 cover story that hurt her: the one where we see her in a bikini with the caption reading 'Stop Calling Me Fat!' More from SheKnows Reese Witherspoon's Cutesy Pet Name for Her BF Shows This Romance Is Completely Different Than Others 'I was having the time of my life. I had made up the dumbest song about eating snacks and playing in the ocean, and I was singing it to my boyfriend out loud, doing some weird dance move, and they got the picture and then it was on the cover,' Hewitt remembered. 'I don't think I was ever really insecure until that cover.' She added, 'And then when it happened, I don't know that I've ever recovered from it. Because there's a part of me that's always like, 'Is this version going to be good enough, or is that going to happen again?' Where somebody's going to be like, 'Hey, this is her without makeup at the cleaners. She looks 59.' I think that's why the insecurity carried on. I don't know if I've even ever put that together for myself other than right now.' Hewitt has always been gorgeous, and we hate that she had to deal with such intrusive headlines throughout the years. But in recent years, she's learned to laugh off the criticism, especially from haters who claim she's changed her face or body. Back in 2022, Hewitt posted a beautiful no-filtered, no-makeup selfie on her Instagram. She captioned it, talking about all the criticism: 'I posted this pic earlier and have heard a lot of positive thoughts. It means so much to me because aging is weird. And growing up with you guys over 33 years has been amazing, but the filters of it all can be tricky.' She added, 'You can't help but want to look better or even perfect to keep up. They are so fun but they also can be really hard because you can forget to feel good about your real face. Maybe I just need to be better at the balance. Anyway, thanks for letting me share and feel good as just me today. Love to you all.' Haters can stay quiet, and we're happy to know Hewitt has continued to thrive, despite it all (including that 2007 cover shoot).Best of SheKnows Everything We Know About Carolyn Bessette's Life Before JFK JR 29 Times Gisele Bündchen's Red Carpet Fashion Proved She's the Ultimate Supermodel 68 Celebrities Who Share a Famous Ex Solve the daily Crossword
