What will the ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ sequel be about?

Here’s the logline for the new film:

When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.

Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film is written by Sam Lansky and Robinson, based on a story by Leah McKendrick and Robinson. It is produced by Neal H. Moritz, and executive produced by Robinson, Jackie Shenoo and Karina Rahardja.
