Shudder’s “Slasher: Flesh & Blood”: Trailer for Season 4 Introduces David Cronenberg and a New Killer! [Video]

James Wan is producing a small screen version of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” that’s coming to Amazon, and today we’ve learned it’s hitting Prime in October 2021!

The announcement was made during Amazon’s Comic-Con@Home panel today, where showrunner Sara Goodman provided some teases for what we can expect from the series.

Goodman says the series is “Real, dysfunctional, and completely unpredictable,” while also promising it’s packed with “drama, a lot of blood, violence, [and] psychological stuff as well.”

“There will be blood… also I’ve put little Easter eggs throughout the season for those diehard fans,” Goodman teases. “[But] you absolutely do not have to have seen the movie or anything else to be a fan of the show. We have eight episodes to explore these characters who are not just running from a stalker, they are also having relationships and having issues with their families, and they are dealing with their fucking lives. There’s more than just the mystery of who’s after them. It’s very much a mystery of who they really are.”

Goodman continues, “The novel was of its time, and the movie was very much of its time, and I wanted to make a show that’s of this time. And so, no one is just a jock. No one is just a smart girl. No one is just a bitch. People are really layered, and everyone has different pieces of themselves they show to different people at different times. They’re much more diverse, and more complicated, and I think the cast is very much representative of those deeper, layered characters. And so is the story. Every episode has a different point of view of what happened that night, before the accident. Will make it much harder to figure out who’s after them.”

Expect more soon, including a trailer on the road to Halloween.

Madison Iseman (Annabelle Comes Home, Jumanji: The Next Level), Brianne Tju (Light as a Feather), Ezekiel Goodman, Ashley Moore (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping), Sebastian Amoruso (Solve), Fiona Rene (Stumptown), Cassie Beck (Connecting), Brooke Bloom (Homecoming), Sonya Balmores (“Inhumans”) and Bill Heck (I’m Your Woman) star.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is a modern take on the 1997 film that honors the same chilling premise – in a town full of secrets, a group of teenagers are stalked by a mysterious killer a year after a fatal accident on their graduation night.

Craig Macneill (The Boy, “Channel Zero: Candle Cove,” Lizzie, “Castle Rock,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” “NOS4A2”) will direct the show’s pilot episode.

The project is based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan. I Know What You Did Last Summer is produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television. Sara Goodman will write and executive produce along with executive producers Shay Hatten, Original Film’s Neal Moritz and Pavun Shetty, and Atomic Monster’s James Wan, Rob Hackett and Michael Clear.

The Jim Gillespie-directed franchise-starter I Know What You Did Last Summer was released in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson and based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel. The hit slasher movie was followed by two sequels: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer in 1998 and the direct-to-video I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer in 2006.
