Freddie Prinze Jr. has shared his excitement about reuniting with co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt for their roles in the upcoming sequel of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, this highly anticipated film sees Prinze and Love Hewitt revisiting their characters, Ray Bronson and Julie James.
Describing the experience as akin to a high school reunion, Prinze expressed his joy about seeing Love Hewitt again and the shared anticipation that comes with reprising roles after many years. “Whatever a high school union feels like, that’s what it felt like… You’re excited to show what you think you’re better at,” he noted, emphasizing the trust and camaraderie that has developed between them over the years.
The duo previously starred together in the original 1997 film and its sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, released in 1998. Prinze has not watched the 2006 sequel, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, which did not include either him or Love Hewitt, but he is confident that their work together in the new film is standout. “I know when we got together, they’re the best scenes that we’ve put on camera together,” he said, acknowledging the chemistry they’ve always shared.
The cast of the sequel also includes a talented ensemble featuring Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, and more, bolstering the excitement surrounding the film’s release. I Know What You Did Last Summer is set to hit theaters on July 18, making it a highly-anticipated event for fans of the original films.
With Prinze and Love Hewitt’s strong connection and professionalism, this sequel promises to capture the essence of the original while bringing fresh elements to the story. Their enthusiasm hints at a worthwhile cinematic experience for audiences eagerly awaiting its debut.
