Sarah Michelle Gellar Addresses Returning to I Know What You Did Last Summer Reboot
View Date:2024-12-23 11:55:36
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s plans for next summer do not involve reviving her character.
Following the announcement of the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, fans have been wondering if the actress will reprise her role as beauty queen Helen Shivers.
But Sarah made it clear that it wouldn’t be in the cards, simply telling People, “I am dead.”
As a refresher, Helen met her gruesome demise towards the end of the 1997 film, after falling victim to the killer’s hook. And while the Cruel Intentions star isn’t part of the reboot in an official capacity, she has a little bit of an in.
"My best friend [Jennifer Kaytin Robinson] is directing it, so we joke that I have an unofficial job, which is I am continuity," she told People. "So I'm always the one telling her, 'Well, that would happen, or that wouldn't happen with those characters,' so I do have kind of an unofficial job title."
I Know What You Did Last Summer—which is loosely based on the horror novel by the same name—starred Sarah, her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Phillippe as a group of teens who run away from the scene of an accident and must deal with the killer consequences placed on them by someone who witnessed their crime.
So far, Freddie is the only original actor confirmed to return, according to Deadline.
Following the success of the original film, Freddie Prinze and Jennifer did, in fact, return for the sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
According to Deadline, the upcoming reboot will also star Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Haur-King.
Though the premise for the reboot hasn’t been revealed just yet, it is set to be released July 2025.
