Although Sarah Michelle Gellar recently visited the set of the next I Know What You Did Last Summer installment, don’t expect a Helen Shivers resurrection. Following her Thanksgiving on-set photo from the upcoming sequel, the Golden Globe nominee confirmed “she dead” of her character in the original 1997 slasher, while admitting she “got in a little bit of trouble” for her behind-the-scenes post. “You would think that being in my position, I know what rules are on sets when they say closed sets, you know,” she said on Live with Kelly and Mark .
“So my husband’s [ Freddie Prinze Jr. ] starring in the movie and it was Thanksgiving so I took our kids to Australia to go out there and visit him. And I was sitting on set and I was like, ‘Oh what a great picture,’ and then I posted it.
“Then I found out that they hadn’t posted any pictures from the set yet — hadn’t announced they started filming. Yeah ..
. that was an ‘Oops! My bad!'” added Gellar. Her appearance comes after Gellar shared a photo of an IKWYDLS director’s chair after visiting Prinze and director friend Jennifer Kaytin Robinson .
“ Scooby Doo 3 coming soon...
.” she jokingly captioned the post, referring to the other franchise that starred her and Prinze. Gellar noted that the movie didn’t even have a social media account.
“They had to make one after I did that,” she said. “Again, my bad. But it was such a cool picture, and it was so much fun.
I mean, that’s the movie Freddie and I met on. So, it was really cool to bring our kids there. And my best friend in California is directing it and wrote it,” added Gellar.
“It was just such a special time. And so, I got in a little bit of trouble.” Although Gellar’s character is dead, she previously told People that she and Robinson “joke that I have an unofficial job, which is I am continuity,” adding: “So I’m always the one telling her, ‘Well, that would happen, or that wouldn’t happen with those characters,’ so I do have kind of an unofficial job title.
” Jennifer Love Hewitt is also in talks to reprise her role. The sequel’s cast includes Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Hauer-King, with Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Austin Nichols, and Gabbriette rounding out the ensemble. The I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel will be released in theaters on July 18, 2025.
