Meet the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' 2025 Cast & Characters
The new sequel has a similar premise to the first movie from 1997, but it isn't a reboot. Instead, the new group of friends are able to get in touch with two characters who survived the original massacre from the "Fisherman" killer, Julie James and Ray Bronson, with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles. (The actors also played the characters in the 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which saw the killer stalk them in the Bahamas.)
But while fans of the original are very familiar with Hewitt and Prinze Jr., there's a bunch of new stars joining in for the new movie. Read on to learn more about them and the characters they're bringing to the big screen.
Madelyn Cline plays Danica, a member of the friend group who makes a promise not to reveal what happened with the car accident. Fans of Outer Banks will know her for starring as Sarah. She also appears in a couple episodes of Stranger Things and in the movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

The next friend is Ava, who is played by Chase Sui Wonders. The actor is known for her role in another ensemble horror movies, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, and she currently stars on the TV series The Studio as Quinn.

Next up we've got another member of the friend group, Milo. Jonah Hauer-King takes on this role. You may know him for a very different type of movie: The live-action Little Mermaid remake in which he played Prince Eric. The actor recently appeared in the British series Doctor Who.

Freddie Prinze Jr. reveals the secret behind his 23-year marriage with Sarah Michelle Gellar
Freddie Prinze Jr. reflected on the secret behind his 23-year marriage to actress Sarah Michelle Gellar. During a recent interview with Variety, the 49-year-old actor candidly opened up about how he and Gellar, 48, have kept their relationship strong in Hollywood. "Marriage is hard no matter what business you're in," the "She's All That" star said. "What works for us might not work for everyone else." He continued, "We work at it. I'm not perfect. She's not perfect. We piss each other off, but we respect one another. We were friends first." "Maybe that's the secret? It wasn't just "Oh, she's hot, he's hot — let's hook up," he added. "But I know people who've done it the other way, and their relationships are just as strong as mine." Gellar and Prinze Jr. first met while filming the hit 1997 horror movie "I Know What You Did Last Summer." However, sparks didn't immediately fly between the two. In a 2001 interview with People, Prinze Jr. admitted that the future couple "really didn't dig each other" at first. "Then one day I gave her a ride to the gym," he said. "We talked on the way up, and she was a cool chick." The pair became friends, but their relationship didn't turn romantic until three years later. During a joint interview with People Now in 2020, Gellar and Prinze Jr. explained how they accidentally went on a first date. "We were friends for a very long time. We'd had many dinners before. And we were supposed to go with someone else, and the third person didn't make it out and we decided to still go," the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" alum recalled. "We were just two people at dinner catching up," Gellar continued. "We had a long car ride and a long dinner and things just happened." Prinze Jr. told the outlet that he completely lost interest in seeing other women after his first date with Gellar. "I didn't go on dates with other girls, nor did I even want to pursue dates with other girls," he said. The couple announced their engagement in 2001 and tied the knot a year later in Mexico when Gellar was 24 and Prinze was 26. Prinze Jr. and Gellar, who also co-starred in 2002's "Scooby-Doo" and the 2004 sequel "Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed," welcomed their first child, daughter Charlotte Grace, in 2009. In 2012, Gellar gave birth to their son, Rocky James. While speaking with Variety, Prinze Jr. explained how he treasured his family life with Gellar and their children. "I just love my kids," he said. "My daughter is away for the summer, and I hate it. I like hanging out with my son — he's really funny. I love my wife, man. I married her for a reason." During a December 2024 interview with Fox News Digital, Gellar weighed in on the key to an enduring union. She also expressed her view that changes in societal values had led to the decline of long-lasting relationships. "I think everything takes work in you, whether it's a friendship or a work relationship or a marriage," the "Dexter: Original Sin" star said. "You have to put the work in," she continued. "And we live in an extremely disposable society now." "Your phone breaks, you don't fix it. You get a new one," Gellar added. "And I think that's a lot of the attitude toward relationships." "And I don't know, maybe separate bathrooms," the actress joked. Prinze Jr. is currently starring in the 2025 version of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," which was released on Friday. The actor reprised his role as Ray Bronson in the legacy sequel to the first movie in the four-part franchise. The couple's former co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt also returned to play the original film's protagonist, Julie James. Hewitt and Prinze Jr. previously reunited in the 1998 sequel "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." Gellar, whose character Helen Shivers was killed off in the first film, made a cameo appearance in the new installment during a dream sequence. "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was released on June 18.

Why ‘Summer I Turned Pretty' Star Was Cut From ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer'
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 16: Lola Tung attends "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 3 New York ... More Launch Event at Refinery Rooftop on July 16, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by) The director of I Know What You Did Last Summer is explaining why The Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story didn't make the final cut of the film. Starring Madelyn Cline, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt, I Know What You Did Last Summer is a legacy sequel set nearly 30 years after the 1997 hit slasher movie of the same name. In the film, a group of friends responsible for the accidental death of a motorist covers up the crime, only to be haunted by a demented fisherman wearing a slicker and wielding a giant hook. Tung and Chavez were cast in supporting roles in I Know What You Did Last Summer, which was released in theaters on July 18, but didn't appear in the film's final cut. In a recent interview with People, I Know What You Did Last Summer director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson explained why the scene featuring Tung and Chavez— which was supposed to be featured at the beginning of the film— hit the cutting room floor. "In every movie, it's best laid plans, and then you edit the movie and you put it together and you go, 'I love this in a vacuum. This is a fantastic scene. But it doesn't fit in the movie,'" Robinson told People. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson Praised Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez's Performances Jennifer Kaytin Robinson told People that she was impressed with Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez's performances in I Know What You Did Last Summer, which made the decision to cut their scene from the film all the more difficult. "It was just one of those situations where it had nothing to do with Lola and Nicholas — they are both so fantastic,' the filmmaker told People. 'I really would love to work with them again. I loved working with them. They did a fabulous job. But in the larger tapestry of the film, it just didn't fit. "It sucks because you don't want to do that to those actors,' Robinson added. 'And it sucks when you love something as a scene, but that scene just doesn't work in the final cut of the film." Rated R, I Know What You Did Last Summer is new in theaters.

Why, Yes, Charli XCX and George Daniel's Wedding Served Guests Cigarettes on Silver Platters
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. XCX, AKA Charli XCX and George Daniel! The couple officially said 'I do' with an intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, and it was just as chic as you'd expect. The 1975 donned a classic charcoal Armani suit while the Brat hitmaker wore a draped ivory satin corseted mini dress from Vivienne Westwood paired with Jimmy Choo slingback heels. Of course, she threw on her signature oversized shades for the post-wedding festivities, too, and captured the moment with a series of TikToks. 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,' Charli captioned the first video, which was set to her 'girl, so confusing' remix with Lorde. In another clip, she shared behind-the-scenes vibes with her wedding party, including photographer Aidan Zamiri and Mr. XCX himself. She wore a chic off-the-shoulder white mini dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello as the group exuded 'bridal party energy' and danced to Far East Movement's 2010 club classic, 'Like a G6.' George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann were reportedly in attendance for the wedding, whereas The 1975's frontman, Matty Healy, had to skip out on the festivities to attend the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars his fiancée and Charli's '360' muse, Gabbriette Bechtel. While their nuptials remained pretty low-key, Charli and George's after-party brought on the brat-titude. According to The Sun, the reception took place at Italian restaurant Dalla before attendees made their way to Ellie's bar in Dalston. 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat,' an insider told the outlet. 'Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla. The restaurant had closed for them, and they had a massive family-style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.' And, according to Instagram Stories posted by DJ Alex Chapman, the couple served skinny cigarettes on silver platters for their guests: Charli revealed that she and George had the idea in mind during a 2024 appearance on the Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain podcast. 'It's so fun,' she said of the wedding planning process, which she admitted made her and her now-husband 'crazy.' 'We're like, 'We're going to have this really epic, like, cigarette station!' and we're going to have people walking around with, like, silver trays of cigarettes,' she jokingly explained. If ^^^ all of this is any indicator, Charli made a point when she said everything is romantic.
