I Know What You Did Last Summer: 10 burning questions the ending finally answers

The hook is back, and this time, it's personal and cuts deep. The 2025 reboot of the 1997 horror I Know What You Did Last Summer pulls a new group of friends into the same nightmare. Writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and co-writer Sam Lansky bring in Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Danica (Madelyn Cline), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers), and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon), a fresh batch of twenty-somethings who make a fatal mistake and bolt. What starts as a direct reboot turns into darker, messier, and way more twisted, packed with returning faces and brutal betrayals. Let's break down that wild ending with 10 burning questions. Spoilers Ahead Ava, Danica, Milo, Teddy, and Stevie are a group of friends living in Southport, N.C. One Fourth of July night, they cause a accident while over-speeding when a truck swerves to avoid them, crashes through a guardrail, and falls off the cliff with the driver inside. They try to help, decide to call cops, but panic and run. Teddy's dad, Grant (a powerful real estate guy), uses his influence to bury it. The story begins a year later when all those friends are now nearly estranged. However, once they arrive back in Southport, Danica gets a note: 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.' Soon after, people around them are murdered by a Fisherman, just like in the original two stories, with a hook and speargun, mimicking the 1997 killing spree. Also read: Wall to wall ending explained: Who's the real noise maker in Kang Ha Neul's Netflix psychological thriller? The friends run to the survivors of the original attacks. Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.) reprise their roles. Meanwhile, Sarah Michelle Gellar's Helen also has a small cameo when she appears in Danica's dream to warn her. Wyatt (Danica's fiancé), true-crime podcaster Tyler, Pastor Judah, along with Teddy, Milo, and Grant, are among those who were killed. This season we've got two hook-wielding pyschos, Stevie and Ray. Stevie's motive is driven by revenge after she finds out the driver they accidentally killed was Sam. This is the same person who helped her post rehab, her pseudo boyfriend. She didn't realise it at first, but rage drives her to become the Fisherman. But the bigger jaw-dropper is the involvement of Ray. Years of repressed trauma, being ghosted by Southport, and watching the town erase the past make him go insane. Stevie's grief starts to feel personal to him, and together they plot the same massacre. Ava and Danica try to escape on a boat, only for Stevie to make the big reveal she had been hiding from her friends. At first, Stevie plans to spare Ava, considering she was the only one at the time of the accident who argued that they should stay and help the victim, but she changes her plan as she attacks Danica, stabs her, and she falls off the boat. But just then, Ray shows up, pretends to save the day, even 'shoots' Stevie, and takes Ava back to the bar. Back at his bar, Ava finds Ray with a new bandage exactly where the Fisherman cut himself earlier. He attacks Ava and just in time, Jennifer Love Hewitt shows up. When Ray stabs Ava, Julie confronts him, demands answers, and even throws back her iconic 'What are you waiting for?' line. And, then Ava harpoons Ray from behind.

That's horror code for: still out there. Danica is alive somehow washes up on shore. Last we see, she and Ava are on the beach, bruised, hungry, and cracking jokes about hunting Stevie down. Mid-credits, Julie visits Karla Wilson (Brandy), another survivor from the old sequel. Next we see Karla's face is crossed out in a photo with a threatening note. She asks, 'Who do we have to f— up this time?' Then credits roll. No sequel announcement yet but it might happen soon.

‘Saiyaara' Day 2 box office collection: Mohit Suri's romance drama inches closer to ₹50 crore mark

Saiyaarais having a dream run at the box office! Director Mohit Suri's romance drama, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has collected ₹45.75 crores in its first two days of release. The film is expected to cross the ₹50-crore mark on Sunday (July 20). After making a record for debutant-led films on the opening day, earning ₹21.25 crore on Friday, the film collected ₹24.5 crores on Saturday, as per trade tracking website Sacnilk. As per the website, the film had an overall occupancy of 51.24 per cent on Saturday. Bengaluru registered the highest occupancy (72 per cent) followed by Jaipur and Lucknow (66.5 per cent each). With such a strong opening stand, Saiyaara is expected to beat other recent Hindi titles such as Maa, Maalik, Deva, The Diplomat, and Dino. What fascinates many is how the film's strong opening is despite having almost no media buildup before its release. Suri has revealed that he wished to keep the opening pair away from the pre-release promotions, like he did with his 2013 hit Aashiqui 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. The move seems to have worked in favour of the film, as filmmaker Sanjay Gupta said, it helped maintain the 'freshness' of the lead pair, making their presence on screen more impactful. The Hindu's review of Saiyaararead, 'With mental health as the villain of the piece, the story echoes the times when love is reduced to a lollipop by market forces. In the digital age, Mohit dials back to the pre-rom-com era, when heartache travelled through the screen on the wings of melodies, sacrifice was considered a virtue, and selfless love was celebrated.' Saiyaara is produced by Akshaye Widhani of Yash Raj Films.
