James Wan Producing I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Series For Amazon
There’s a new series being developed based on the 1997 slasher film franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer, and according to Bloody-Disgusting, James Wan (Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, Aquaman) is set to produce the series.
He is currently scouting locations for shooting the series which is set to begin production this fall. There’s no director attached to the series yet but Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3) is writing the pilot. Neal H. Moritz is also producing the series which is being developed for Amazon.
There was a theatrical reboot of the film being developed by The Haunting of Hill House director Mike Flanagan, but that reboot is no longer happening. Flanagan confirmed that on Twitter, saying:

While I like the work Flanagan has been doing, I’m happy that he’s not going to waste his time on developing a reboot of a mediocre 90s slasher movie.
The original Jim Gillespie-directed film followed four young friends who accidentally kill a man one night while driving in a car. They try to keep it a secret and cover it up but they are eventually reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town.
Did you like the original film? What do you think about James Wan producing the series adaptation?
