'But She Is Dead.' Jennifer Kaytin Robinson Gets Real About The I Know What You Did Last Summer Conversation She Had With Sarah Michelle Gellar About Coming Back
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's a good time to be a horror fan, as the genre has been thriving for years. Some of the best horror movies have returned with new sequels, and one of the most highly anticipated upcoming horror movies is the new I Know What You Did Last Summer. And director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson revealed a funny conversation she had with OG star Sarah Michelle Gellar about returning as Helen Shivers. The first trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer was just released, showing the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. as Julie and Ray respectively. It turns out that the director also wanted to bring back SMG, despite Helen dying in the first movie. While speaking with EW about the forthcoming sequel, she revealed how hard she tried to convince the Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor. In her words: I mean the big one, I tried relentlessly, and she's dead. I tried, okay? I harassed her! But she is dead. I tried to pitch some crazy shit too. I was like, 'What if it's like you weren't dead and you're actually alive, but in hiding?' And Sarah's like, 'I was on ice. I was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.' I was like, 'Yeah, but what if?' And she said, 'I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.' How funny is that? While Sarah Michelle Gellar shared an early set photo from the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, she couldn't be convinced to return as Helen. The Dexter: Original Sin actress simply couldn't defend it considering how long the character has been dead and gone. Instead, she was happy to reunite with her former co-stars and support husband Freddie Prinze Jr. as he mad his third appearance as Ray Bronson. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a legendary scream queen, thanks to her tenure as Buffy and roles in IKWYDLS, Scream 2, and The Grudge. While Robinson couldn't convince her return as Helen, that character's grave was shown in the new sequel's trailer. As a reminder, you can check it out below: Of course, this conversation about Sarah Michelle Gellar has me thinking about another I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy charter that I've been wanting to see return: Brandy Norwood's Karla. Unlike Helen, she actually survived I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, so she'd make much more sense to bring back. The singer/actress expressed interest in reprising that role, with Brandy even confirming she was in talks. But since she's ben missing from the cast list and the trailer, I assume this isn't happening. I Know What You Did Last Summer will hit theaters on July 18th as part of the 2025 movie release list. Just don't expect to see a cameo by Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Not only is much of the original cast, including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., returning, but so is the drama surrounding the OG stars. Our leading ladies, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Hewitt, were said to be feuding when rumours suggested the latter got the Cruel Intentions star's character axed. 'I was 18. They were not taking script notes from me,' Hewitt later clarified, per the Hollywood Reporter. Advertisement However, the supposed beef resurfaced when, in an interview at the premiere of Gellar's show Dexter: Original Sin, she was asked about Hewitt possibly reprising her role and she bluntly replied, 'I have nothing to do with that.' Later, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress explained on her Instagram Story that she was simply being too cautious about not violating any NDAs. Notably, in November 2024, she did get in a bit of trouble for jumping the gun and posting a snap from the set of IKWYDLS 2 before it was announced that the cameras were rolling.

Is Jennifer Love Hewitt expecting? The truth behind the "9-1-1" fan theories
Following the recent broadcast of a new episode of the popular ABC series '9-1-1,' a segment of the show's dedicated fanbase has been actively speculating about whether actress Jennifer Love Hewitt , who portrays the character Maddie Buckley, is currently pregnant in real life. This curiosity has been primarily fueled by her character Maddie's ongoing pregnancy storyline within the show, where the dispatcher is expecting her second child with Chimney Han, played by Kenneth Choi . Online Speculations and theories on the '9-1-1' star's pregnancy: The online '9-1-1' community, particularly on platforms such as Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram, has been abuzz with discussions and inquiries regarding Hewitt's potential real-life pregnancy status. One user on X humorously commented on the recurring pregnancy storylines in Hewitt's shows, writing, 'I feel like Jennifer Love Hewitt is always pregnant on these shows she looks good pregnant though", accompanying the comment with laughing emojis. Another user on the same platform confidently stated, 'When Jennifer Love Hewitt is pregnant on 9-1-1 that means she's pregnant in real life,' indicating a belief that her on-screen pregnancies often mirror her off-screen experiences.

With a laugh, she clarified, 'No, I can do one real one and one fake one, people. I am not pregnant again. I am too tired. I have three children, I'm good.' Hewitt, who shares three children – daughter Autumn (11), son Atticus (9), and son Aidan (3) – with her husband Brian Hallisay, has indicated that her family feels complete. This sentiment echoes a 2021 interview with People magazine where she stated, 'I'm pretty sure [three is it]. I think five is a great number,' suggesting that she and her husband are content with their current family size. Therefore, the ongoing pregnancy storyline for her character Maddie Buckley in '9-1-1' is purely fictional and does not reflect Hewitt's real-life circumstances.

Watch: Trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel out now – franchise returns after 19 years
Sony has unveiled the trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer, set to hit theaters on July 18. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film revives the beloved horror franchise that began with the 1997 film of the same name. The trailer was first showcased at CinemaCon and released online this week. The sequel stars Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King, and Chase Sui Wonders, with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their iconic roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson. The plot follows a group of five friends who are haunted by the consequences of a pact to cover up their involvement in a tragic car accident. The group reconnects with two survivors from the infamous 1997 Southport Massacre, as they find themselves in a dangerous situation once again. Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character hints at the recurrence of violence in Southport, saying, "This isn't the first time there's been violence like this in Southport," while Jennifer Love Hewitt's character appears to investigate the cause, questioning, "What did you do last summer?" The script was co-written by Robinson and Sam Lansky, based on an initial draft by Leah McKendrick. Neal Moritz, who produced the original film, returns to produce the new movie. The first film, released in 1997, became a horror classic, starring Hewitt, Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe, and was based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan. While Sarah Michelle Gellar was approached to return as Helen Shivers, she declined due to the difficulty of retconning her character's death. Principal photography for the sequel began in November 2024, with cinematographer Elisha Christian. I Know What You Did Last Summer fans can look forward to the chilling return of their favorite characters this July.
