So this is…an interesting development. THR reports that Amazon has acquired the rights to the 90's Jennifer Love-Hewitt-led slasher film I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (and the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan that the movie was based on) to create a "YA horror drama". It will be written and executive produced by Sara Goodman (PREACHER, GOSSIP GIRL).
Here's the official synopsis:
The show will share a premise with the movie, in which group of teenagers is stalked by a killer a year after a fatal accident on their graduation night, but put a modern spin on the material.
Here's what Albert Cheng, COO and co-head of television at Amazon Studios had to say about the project:
he best horror franchises always have another scare coming, and this I Know What You Did Last Summer series from Sara Goodman is a perfectly twisted update to the iconic slasher movie. Any way you slice it, our global Prime Video customers will love this modern take on the fan favorite film.
Sony Pictures TV Studios co-president Jason Clodfelter adds:
We are thrilled to have I Know What You Did Last Summer with our incredible partners at Amazon Studios…Neal Moritz and Original Film's development consistently fires on all cylinders and that is proven once again with Sara Goodman’s contemporary and pulsating character weaving suspense thriller.
Meanwhile, no official start or release date as of yet, but we'll keep you posted!
