‘Hit Me Up’ After I Know What You Did Last summer, the director made it clear that the sequel is still canon, Brandy Norwood is all for a return

It’s a great time to be a horror fan, as the genre has been thriving for years. Some of the best horror movies have returned with new sequels, bringing back beloved franchises. That includes the upcoming horror film that the i know what you did last summer franchise back to theaters. After the director of the developing sequel clarified the sequel I still remember is still canon, Brandy Norwood is all for returning, even saying “contact me” to her former co-stars

Fans like me were excited when it was announced that i know what you did last summer is getting a new sequel, with both Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. in talks to return. But Brandy’s character Karla survived the sequel, so could she return as well? In an interview with THR, the singer/actress responded to the news that another sequel was in development, saying:

I didn’t know Sony put that together. That’s interesting! I’m not kidding you, I didn’t know that.

I mean, can you blame her? Brandy has been super busy lately, including a role in Descendants: The Rise of Red (which you can stream with a Disney+ subscription), as well as her recent cameo in Ariana Grande’s music video and a remix of the song.

But when I heard the news that there was a new i know what you did last summer happens, the 45-year-old superstar expressed her interest in playing Julie’s roommate Karla again. As she put it:

I need them to call me because I survived in that movie! I came out bloodied, ready to go. I didn’t die in that movie. Jennifer, Freddie, call me.

There you have it. It looks like Brandy definitely wants to go back to her horror roots for a new i know what you did last summer movie. And since the sequel is canon and her character survived, this seems like a pretty logical move. Let’s hope someone reaches out to the “Almost Doesn’t Count” singer sooner rather than later.

I still remember what you did last summerr hit theaters in 1998 and provided an example of a black lead character surviving a horror film. There’s a common trope that characters of color are often killed off within the genre, which has gotten better in recent years but was definitely prevalent in the ‘90s. In addition to defying this stereotype, Brandy’s Karla could now potentially return for another installment in the slasher franchise.

The new i know what you did last summer The film is expected to hit theaters on July 18, 2025. Check out the 2025 film release dates to plan your movie visit next year.
