I Know What You Did Last Summer TV series poster promises honey-coated horror

Yesterday, a trailer was released for Amazon’s 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. You can check the trailer out in the embed above. With the show’s October 15th Amazon Prime premiere date now less than a month away, a poster has arrived online and can be seen below.

Fitting for a show inspired by a ’90s slasher, I Know What You Did Last Summer has a poster that looks like a throwback to the ’90s trend of “floating head” posters… but I couldn’t tell you why these floating heads all have honey splattered on their face. Honey and bees are usually associated with a different hook-wielding killer, Candyman, not the guy from I Know What You Did Last Summer.

The first four episodes of the show will be available to watch on October 15th, and the remaining four will be released on a weekly basis. A new episode will be released on Amazon every Friday, building up to the season finale on November 12th. 

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.
