Amazon Orders Up “I Know What You Did Last Summer” Television Series from Producer James Wan!
We had reported well over a year ago that James Wan was producing the pilot episode of a potential “I Know What You Did Last Summer” television series for Amazon, and we’ve learned today that Amazon has now officially ordered the project to series!
THR reports that Sara Goodman (Preacher, Gossip Girl) is writing and executive producing the series for Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures TV, and that “the show will share a premise with the movie, in which a group of teenagers is stalked by a killer a year after a fatal accident on their graduation night, but put a modern spin on the material.”
“We are thrilled to have I Know What You Did Last Summer with our incredible partners at Amazon Studios,” said Sony Pictures TV Studios co-president Jason Clodfelter. “Neal Moritz and Original Film’s development consistently fires on all cylinders and that is proven once again with Sara Goodman’s contemporary and pulsating character weaving suspense thriller.”
Wan is producing through Atomic Monster, with 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.
The midseason premiere episode of Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” Season 3 brought Chucky back to the small screen on both USA and SYFY last night, and if you missed it, you can watch the brand new episode of “Chucky” online right now… free of charge!
SYFY has uploaded the full episode to YouTube this morning, and you can watch it down below. The “Chucky” Season 3 midseason premiere is titled “Death Becomes Her.”
In Chucky’s unending thirst for power, Season 3 finds Chucky ensconced with the most powerful family in the world — America’s First Family, inside the walls of the White House.
How did Chucky wind up here? What in God’s name does he want? And how can Jake, Devon, and Lexy possibly get to Chucky inside the world’s most secure building, all while balancing the pressures of romantic relationships and growing up? More importantly, how is Chucky going to survive his most deadly adversary to date: OLD AGE?
Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Devon Sawa, and Fiona Dourif are all back this season. The returning cast for “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 of course also includes Lara Jean Chorostecki, Zackary Arthur, Björgvin Arnarson, and Alyvia Alyn Lind.
I wrote in my review of the midseason premiere, “It’s the humor that shines brightest in “Chucky” Season 3’s long awaited return. The one-liners, over-the-top kills, cheeky Damballa specialists, and Brad Dourif having a ball exploring a new side to his enduring character make for a welcome return of the series. As entertaining as the episode is, with so many standout charming moments, Don Mancini propels the story forward in subtler ways.”
Also look for Old Man Chucky to take aim at a few other pint-sized horror icons in this episode.
Watch new episodes of “Chucky” on Wednesdays at 10/9c on SYFY and USA Network, or stream them on Peacock the following day.
This hit horror series is produced by UCP and executive produced by creator Don Mancini, Nick Antosca, Alex Hedlund, David Kirschner and Jeff Renfroe.
