Brandy Norwood is “definitely” open to repeating her role for the I know what you did last summer Legacy sequel. Norwood joined the film franchise in 1998 I still remember what you did last summer as Karla Wilson, a close friend of Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt). I know what you did last summer The reimagining is moving forward and is now set to premiere next summer, so there’s still time to get Norwood – and some of the franchise’s other beloved stars – on board.

In a recent conversation with MovieWeb, Norwood talked about her next leading role in A24’s The front roomher first horror film in 25 years. However, we couldn’t let her go without asking her about the chance to work with Jennifer Love Hewitt again. I know what you did last summer‘s next chapter:

“I’ve definitely talked about being in the new ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer.’ That would be great. I didn’t die, so I might as well come back.”

Seeing the three of them back in Southport would no doubt provide a nice dose of nostalgia for fans of the original film (and 1990s slashers in general).

Prinze Jr. and Hewitt have also spoken publicly about participating in the reimagining, and both are eager to join the cast. Prinze Jr. recently shared that while no contract for his return has been secured, he knows that he “They want everything to work,” a feeling that he reciprocates.

Looks like we might be getting the gang back together. And when that happens, Norwood, Hewitt and Prinze Jr. will join Camila Mendes, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Hauer-King, who are currently listed as stars of the upcoming film.
