The upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel will team original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. with a group of younger leads, in much the same way that 2022's Scream "requel" bridged the gap between two eras.

Last July, Camila Mendes was confirmed to be starring in the slasher sequel, which would reunite her with director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who previously helmed the Mendes-starring Netflix dark comedy Do Revenge.

However, by September Mendes had exited I Know What You Did Last Summer, apparently as a result of the ever-dreaded scheduling conflicts - in this case with Amazon's mega-budget adaptation of Masters of the Universe, in which Mendes will be playing the lead role of Teela.

Though it isn't clear whether Mendes would be playing the Jennifer Love Hewitt-esque new lead in I Know What You Did Last Summer, given her higher star profile among the ensemble cast it's certainly likely.

It hasn't been confirmed precisely who ended up replacing Mendes, though considering that Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies) joined the cast mere weeks later, she's probably a solid bet.
