One of 2025’s most underrated movies has just been added to streaming

This fun reboot of an iconic franchise deserves more love.

Accessible through the service NOW, the film focuses on a group of young adult friends (including Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline and Tyriq Withers) living in the idyllic American seaside town of Southport, North Carolina.

Their lives are turned upside down when they become involved in the death of a stranger in a car accident and decide to cover it up.

Already struggling with the guilt of what they did, a year later, they begin receiving messages from an unknown source who, as the title suggests, claims to know what they did.

Following this, they start being picked off one by one by a mysterious figure in a raincoat, wielding a hook.

To find out the identity of the hook-wielding fisherman that's stalking them, the friend group seeks out the survivors of a similar series of killings in the 1990s (Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt).

While 2025's I Know What You Did Last Summer earned mixed reviews for the most part, we believe it is a sequel that retains everything that made the first 1997 movie so iconic, while building on it to tell a slightly deeper, more emotional story.

Cline and Wonders make for very likeable leads, despite the mistakes their characters make, the action is suspenseful, and the way the reboot links back to the original is smart and ambitious.

Ahead of the film's release, JOE spoke to the cast of the reboot, including actors Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon, who all play the members of the new central friend group. You can check out that interview right here.

Co-writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) and returning star Freddie Prinze Jr. also chatted with us about the sequel.

The filmmaker said her goal was to please fans of the franchise while taking big swings, something we believe she accomplished with aplomb.

When we asked the filmmaker what she wished to retain from the original and what she wanted to update, she told us: "The original is a favourite of mine. I'd seen it so many times. It was very easy to come back to it.

"For me, it was about the smaller things rather than a lot of big things. I wanted there to be a lot of small Easter eggs so the true fans felt like they could go: 'Oh my god, look at that! Oh my god, look at that! Oh my god, look at that!' in addition to obviously the bigger swings that we did in the film."

You can read more about those "bigger swings" in JOE's spoiler-heavy article about the new I Know What You Did Last Summer right here.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) is currently available to stream on the service NOW, and through Sky Cinema Premiere.
