These actors will likely portray young adult characters who are dealing with the fallout of accidentally killing someone.
Prinze Jr. and Love Hewitt are reprising their roles of Ray Bronson and Julie James, a couple who run over a man in their small town on the night of their high school graduation. That moment has ripple effects for them all, and after this devastating and scary night, someone who is aware of their crime stalks them and makes their lives miserable.

TheI Know What You Did Last Summerreboot features many well-known actors. Chase Siu Wonders starred inthe hilarious horror filmBodies Bodies Bodies. Alexander Chavez recently appeared in the Netflix seriesMonsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Tung stars in the Amazon Prime teen dramaThe Summer I Turned Pretty. Nicols played a beloved main character on the young adult seriesOne Tree Hill, and Cline played Sarah Cameron on the hit Netflix showOuter Banks. Given the high body count of the previous movies in the franchise, these actors will likely end up playing victims.
Love Hewitt has talked about playing Julie James again in a few interviews, including withGood Housekeeping. She said she thinks Julie:
