The eight episode series inspired by the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it HERE) and the 1973 Lois Duncan novel that film was based on will premiere on Amazon Prime on October 15th – and four of the eight episodes will be available to watch that day! After that, one new episode will reach Amazon every Friday, building up to the season finale on November 12th. Along with the premiere date announcement comes the unveiling of a batch of first look images, which can be seen below.
Coming to us from Amazon Studios, Sony Pictures Television, and Original Film, this take on I Know What You Did Last Summer was written by Preacher and Gossip Girl alum Sara Goodman, with Craig William Macneill (Lizzie) directing the pilot. The show has the following synopsis:
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…
Madison Iseman, Brianne Tju, Ezekiel Goodman, Ashley Moore, Sebastian Amoruso, Fiona Rene, Cassie Beck, Brooke Bloom, Bill Heck, and Sonya Balmores star.
Filmed in Hawaii, I Know What You Did Last Summer was executive produced by Goodman, along with Shay Hatten, Original Film’s Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty, Atomic Monster’s James Wan, Rob Hackett, and Michael Clear, plus Erik Feig, who produced the ’97 film with Moritz.
Judging by the synopsis and a couple of the images below, they’re sticking very close to the I Know What You Did Last Summer that we’re familiar with. I’m going to be checking this show out this fall.
