A New Generation of Horror Arrives

Old sins cast long shadows — and in I Know What You Did Last Summer, a fresh ensemble of rising stars step into the blood-soaked shoes of their predecessors. Set to haunt Philippine cinemas beginning July 30, this continuation of the 1997 cult classic takes audiences back to Southport with a whole new group of teens hiding a deadly secret.

“Lightning in a Bottle” Chemistry

Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) helms the thrilling reboot, gushing about the cast’s undeniable on-screen spark. “The cast chemistry really leaps off the screen,” she continues. “It was like lightning in a bottle. It just was there, and it was amazing.” she shares. And it shows — this ensemble doesn’t just act like lifelong friends; they feel like them.

Meet the New Victims — and Possibly, Survivors

Jonah Hauer-King as Milo Griffin
Known for The Little Mermaid and Doctor Who, Jonah Hauer-King plays the grounded and guilt-ridden Milo. “There’s all the fear factor, mystery, blood, and slasher stuff, which is brilliant,” he says. “We introduce some great new characters to root for, and Jenn and the other writers have brought a contemporary, fresh humor to it. There’s a wink, which is fun because the horror and comedy are intertwined and play off each other nicely,” he says.

Chase Sui Wonders as Ava Brucks
Perceptive and passionate, Ava — played by Bodies Bodies Bodies star Chase Sui Wonders — resists the initial silence after the group’s fatal accident. “What happens at Reaper’s Curve tests Ava, and the group, in ways that you can’t really come back from,” explains Wonders. “It’s a new reality that everyone has to contend with.”

Danica Cline as Danica Richards
The fiercely loyal best friend to Ava, Danica tries to protect her bond even as their world unravels. “Danica and Ava are two peas in a pod,” Cline points out. “They’ve been best friends forever, and it’s one of those friendships that will remain strong – no matter what they go through.”

Tyriq Withers as Teddy Spencer
With a smile that hides deep trauma, Teddy is the town’s golden boy with a complicated past. “Teddy has a vulnerable side because despite his parents’ resources, there was a lack of real support, and Teddy experienced some real trauma,” says Tyriq Withers. “Still, he is always the light of the group. I’d say he’s even the glue, the comedic factor that tries to alleviate painful situations. Teddy just wants to be around good energy all the time, because he missed out on that in the family home.”

Sarah Pidgeon as Stevie
Stevie is the realist, grounded and haunted. Now working at a bar run by Southport survivor Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), she represents the emotional weight of past tragedies. “I’ve certainly been there as Stevie,” says Sarah Pidgeon. “You find a corner to hide in, but I think Stevie is the realist of the group. She’s a foil to Danica, who has been able to skirt around a lot of consequences in her life. Stevie has not been able to do that. Every time her life has gone off the rails, she’s suffered for it.”

It’s Not Just Summer — It’s Survival

With secrets surfacing and a mysterious killer stalking the group, the idyllic coastal town turns into a nightmare once more. As past decisions catch up to the new generation, audiences can expect a fresh but faithful reimagining of the original horror story.

Don’t miss the suspense, the scares, and the slashing suspense of I Know What You Did Last Summer, slashing into cinemas nationwide on July 30.
