I Know What You Did Last Summer was originally a novel by Lois Duncan published in 1973. It follows hook-wielding slasher The Fisherman, who pursues four troubled teenagers.

The original film starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. Directed by Venom filmmaker Jim Gillespie, it was adapted from Duncan’s book by Kevin Willliamson, who wrote the Scream franchise.

I Know What You Did Last Summer spawned two sequels. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer was a success in 1998, but I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer was released straight to DVD in 2006.

Casting and director details for Amazon Prime’s new TV series have yet to be announced. It isn’t yet known when the show will be screened.
