The original film follows four young friends (played by Prinze Jr., Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe) bound by a tragic accident who are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town.
I Know What You Did Last Summer, loosely based on the Lois Duncan novel of the same name, was a hit that led to the development of the sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which premiered in 1998. A direct-to-video third installment of the franchise titled I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006) is considered a stand-alone sequel as the story diverged from the first two installments and had no original cast reprising their roles.
Tung is currently in production on the third season of Prime Video’s acclaimed drama series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on the New York Times bestselling trilogy by Jenny Han. Earlier this year, Tung made her Broadway debut as Eurydice in the Tony award-winning musical, Hadestown, and previously played Penny Lane in the development residency of Cameron Crowe and Tom Kitt’s Tony Award- nominated musical Almost Famous at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.
Chavez is coming off his scene stealing role in Ryan Murphy’s limited series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story, which immediately became Netflix’s #1 show in the U.S. for two consecutive weeks. Chavez also stars in Murphy’s newest horror drama series, Grotesquerie, which premiered September 25 on FX and is streaming on Hulu. Chavez received critical acclaim for his role as “Spencer Cassadine” on the long-running soap opera General Hospital, which earned him the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series in 2022.
Nichols will next be seen in the upcoming Netflix film, The Six Triple Eight directed by Tyler Perry. Nichols’ notable film credits include the independent feature The Walking Dead, Iron Orchard, Glordy Road, The Day After Tomorrow and Wimbledon.
Gabbriette is an American model and musician and I Know What You Did Last Summer represents Gabbriette’s feature film acting debut.
Tung is represented by CAA and GSA Entertainment, Chavez is repped by CAA and Felker Toczek, Nichols is represented by CESD and Strand Entertainment and Gabbriette is repped by IMG Models and Luber Roklin Entertainment.
