Netflix to Add Original 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' on Nov. 1 as 2025 Sequel Surges

The addition completes Netflix’s lineup for the franchise, reflecting demand driven by the new sequel’s strong streaming start despite weak critic scores.

Overview

  • Netflix confirms the 1997 I Know What You Did Last Summer will join its U.S. catalog on November 1, filling the gap left after adding later entries first.
  • The 2025 legacy sequel began streaming on October 16 and reached Netflix’s U.S. Top 10 within a week, peaking as high as No. 4 on the daily chart and No. 10 for the week of Oct. 13–19.
  • The new film arrived roughly three months after its theatrical release, underscoring shortened windows that move titles quickly from cinemas to streaming.
  • Reception has split, with a 36% Rotten Tomatoes critic score contrasted by a 68% audience rating reported by outlets tracking its performance.
  • Prior to November, Netflix carried the 1998 sequel and the 2025 film, and the November 1 refresh brings the original so subscribers can stream the complete series.
