I Know What You Did Last Summer is Now on Digital—Here's What the Release Includes
One of our favorite horror films of the year just made the jump to your living room. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s legacy sequel to the ’97/’98 Southport slashers is now available to own digitally, with 4K Ultra HD SteelBook, Blu-ray, and DVD releases set for October 7, 2025. And for fans of the franchise—or anyone who loves a glossy, nerve-jangling summer thriller—this home release folds in a solid slate of extras and consumer-friendly specs that make revisiting the Fisherman’s latest rampage a no-brainer.
The Story
A year after five friends cover up a deadly accident, the past claws back with a vengeance. As a masked killer(the infamous fisherman) stalks them one by one, the group discovers it’s not the first time Southport has worn this nightmare—and they turn to two survivors from 1997 for help. That connective tissue to the original continuity is a big part of the film’s appeal, bridging generations while letting the new cast run. Camp when it wants to be, ruthless when it counts, and bursting with character; it stands on its own even as it nods to its roots.
The Cast
The film includes an all-star ensemble of I Know What You Did Last Summer alum and new franchise additions, including Madelyn Cline (Danica Richards), Chase Sui Wonders (Ava Brucks), Jonah Hauer-King (Milo Griffin), Tyriq Withers (Teddy Spencer), Sarah Pidgeon (Stevie Ward), Billy Campbell (Grant Spencer), Gabbriette (Tyler Trevino), Austin Nichols (Pastor Judah), with Freddie Prinze Jr. (Ray Bronson) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (Julie James). Key cameos also include two other IKWYDLS icons: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Helen Shivers), and Brandy Norwood (Karla Wilson).
What you get with a Digital Copy
Crucially, the digital purchase carries the same bonus features listed for the premium disc formats—so if you’re building a library in the cloud, you’re not missing out. Expect: Outtakes & Bloopers; Deleted & Extended Scenes; “Return to Southport – The Cast”; and “Chills, Kills & Thrills – Making A Thriller.” It’s a comprehensive, fan-friendly spread that balances slick EPK energy with process-oriented craft. But here’s the full rundown.
“Return to Southport – The Cast” is the connective tissue featurette—expect reflections from the new ensemble alongside legacy energy from returning icons, framing how the sequel updates the myth while honoring the original timeline. It’s the piece that contextualizes the baton pass without leaning entirely on nostalgia.
“Chills, Kills & Thrills – Making A Thriller” looks set to be the craft core: staging, stunt/build, tone work, and how Robinson calibrates sleek summer-movie momentum with sharper slasher brutality. If you were struck by how the film modernizes Fisherman iconography (we were), this is where you’ll likely see the nuts and bolts.
Deleted Scenes offers the hardcore fans some extra layers to flesh out the story, as well as an alternate post-credits scene that gives additional insight into the status of a key character…
