Amazon released the first teaser for its “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reboot series Wednesday, revealing a new generation of teens being hunted down by a killer who, well, knows what horrible act they did last summer. And thanks to the updates in technology since the original flick — and the Lois Duncan book it’s based on — came out, the new villain in this series is way more tech-savvy.
Just look at that haunting “I’m Coming 4 U” text, complete with a clown emoji, that’s sent to the kids who think no one knows about the crime they are trying to cover up.
Watch the teaser video above.
Written and executive produced by Sara Goodman, “I Know What You Did Last Summer” is based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel, which was also the basis of the iconic 1997 film starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe.
