While the original film took place over the Fourth of July, Amazon is bringing their “I Know What You Did Last Summer” series to their streaming platform on Friday, October 15, 2021, Bloody Disgusting just learned.
The first four episodes will be released on October 15, with new episodes available each subsequent Friday. The series will culminate in a suspenseful, can’t-miss season finale on November 12, 2021.
Check out some of the first images from the eight-episode Amazon Original series that hails from Atomic Monster producer James Wan (Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant).
Madison Iseman (Annabelle Comes Home, Jumanji: The Next Level), Brianne Tju (Light as a Feather), Ezekiel Goodman, Ashley Moore (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping), Sebastian Amoruso (Solve), Fiona Rene (Stumptown), Cassie Beck (Connecting), Brooke Bloom (Homecoming), Sonya Balmores (“Inhumans”) and Bill Heck (I’m Your Woman) star.
In the series…
“One year after the fatal car accident that haunted their graduation night, a group of teenagers find themselves bound together by a dark secret and stalked by a brutal killer. As they try to piece together who’s after them, they reveal the dark side of their seemingly perfect town—and themselves. Everyone is hiding something, and uncovering the wrong secret could be deadly. “
Craig Macneill (The Boy, “Channel Zero: Candle Cove,” Lizzie, “Castle Rock,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” “NOS4A2”) directs the show’s pilot episode.
The project is based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan. The Jim Gillespie-directed franchise-starter I Know What You Did Last Summer was released in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson and based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel. The hit slasher movie was followed by two sequels: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer in 1998 and the direct-to-video I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer in 2006.
Showrunner Sara Goodman provided some teases for what we can expect from the series during last month’s Comic-Con@Home panel:
Goodman says the series is “Real, dysfunctional, and completely unpredictable,” while also promising it’s packed with “drama, a lot of blood, violence, [and] psychological stuff as well.”
“There will be blood… also I’ve put little Easter eggs throughout the season for those diehard fans,” Goodman teases. “[But] you absolutely do not have to have seen the movie or anything else to be a fan of the show. We have eight episodes to explore these characters who are not just running from a stalker, they are also having relationships and having issues with their families, and they are dealing with their fucking lives. There’s more than just the mystery of who’s after them. It’s very much a mystery of who they really are.”
Goodman continues, “The novel was of its time, and the movie was very much of its time, and I wanted to make a show that’s of this time. And so, no one is just a jock. No one is just a smart girl. No one is just a bitch. People are really layered, and everyone has different pieces of themselves they show to different people at different times. They’re much more diverse, and more complicated, and I think the cast is very much representative of those deeper, layered characters. And so is the story. Every episode has a different point of view of what happened that night, before the accident. Will make it much harder to figure out who’s after them.”
Expect more soon, including a trailer on the road to Halloween.
