Sarah Michelle Gellar sparked rumors of a feud with Jennifer Love Hewitt after answering a question regarding the I Know What You Did Last Summer (IKWYDLS) reboot. During the premiere of her new show Dexter: Original Sin on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, Michelle Gellar was asked by Extra in a red-carpet interview if Love Hewitt was returning for the IKWYDLS reboot.
"I have nothing to do with that," Geller shrugged and answered.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt starred in the 1997 hit I Know What You Did Last Summer and haven't worked together on a project since. Gellar later clarified her comments on her Instagram stories on Friday, December 13, revealing that she did not want to talk too much due to an NDA attached to the upcoming project.

"Aspiring actors please note: this deer in the headlights reaction is perfect for when you are excited to see so many old friends in one project but have already stupidly forgotten what NDA means once this month," she clarified.
In this statement, Gellar is referencing her November 27 Instagram post, in which she unknowingly leaked a behind-the-scenes picture from the upcoming project. The photograph simply showcased a chair with the film's title before it was officially announced that shooting for the film was underway.
Sarah Michelle Gellar took the picture when she visited her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. in Australia for Thanksgiving alongside their kids. Prinze Jr. is reprising his role as Ray Bronson for the upcoming project.
Jennifer Love Hewitt denied rumors of a Sarah Michelle Gellar feud
Jennifer Love Hewitt confirmed via an Instagram post on Friday, December 13, that she would be returning for the film. The same post was also shared by Sarah Michelle Gellar with the caption:
"It’s never too late to go back. Julie James is returning. I know what you will be doing next summer!"
Hewitt played Julie James in the iconic 1997 slasher while Gellar portrayed Helen Shivers. Widely circulated rumors on social media, even before Sarah Michelle Gellar's comments, claimed that the actresses were feuding while shooting the film and that Hewitt influenced Gellar’s character's death.
Hewitt denied past rumors of this feud in a December 10 appearance on Tommy DiDario's I’ve Never Said This Before podcast.
"I just heard that there’s this whole thing where they think that Sarah and I were fighting or something. There’s all these things out there," the actress remarked.
Jennifer Love Hewitt revealed that she liked to read about what people were saying about I Know What You Did Last Summer at the time when the movie was filmed and now.
"Somebody the other day was like, ‘Yeah, I think Julie made sure that she was killed because girl actresses don’t like to work with girl actresses.’ I was like, ‘What are you talking about?' I was 18. They were not taking script notes from me," the Heartbreakers star recalled.
When DiDario noted that the actresses were probably friends, Hewitt agreed with the podcast host and stated that all of the actors were in it together, when it came to the experience of making the 1997 hit.
"I root for her and Freddie and think it’s the cutest thing in the world that they’ve been married for 100 years and have kids. It’s adorable. So yeah it’s just been really funny to see all this stuff that people think," she said.
Along with a returning Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer movie will also feature Madelyn Cline, Jonah Hauer-King, Chase Sui Wonders, and Sarah Pidgeon, among others.
