Though sharing the same premise as the late- 90s film, the series is in fact based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan.
I Know What You Did Last Summer follows a group of teenagers who are stalked by a mysterious hook-wielding killer the year after they covered up their involvement in a fatal accident on graduation night.
Sara Goodman (
Preacher) will write and executive produce. Craig Macneill will direct and executive produce the first episode. Production is set to begin in Hawaii this month.
And finally, no, you don’t have deja-vu, nor are you living in an endless loop (although at times it does feel like you are); Andy Samberg’s just going back to the land of sci-fi comedy. According to

series from Sara Goodman is a perfectly twisted update to the iconic slasher movie,” Albert Cheng, COO and co-head of television at Amazon Studios, previously said in a statement. “
Any way you slice it, our global Prime Video customers will love this modern take on the fan favorite film.”
The 1997 film version, directed by Jim Gillespie with a script by Kevin Williamson, stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze, Jr. as a group of high school students who accidentally hit and kill a man with their car one night. Although they believe they have successfully covered up their crime, the group finds themselves at the receiving end of a slasher killer’s serial rampage one year later.
