In a shocking reveal, Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, spilled the beans about her involvement in the highly anticipated reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer. The blonde bombshell took to social media to share that she indeed shot scenes for the movie, but with one major caveat - her character, Helen Shivers, is still very much dead!

Gellar cleverly captioned: "Spoiler alert ‼️ Helen Shivers is still dead," followed by a series of cryptic messages that left fans scratching their heads. But we've got the inside scoop for you!

When asked about her participation in the reboot, Gellar playfully replied, "I always answered 'I am dead.'" The actress then dropped another bombshell, revealing that she only found out how to be involved with the project when director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and co-writer Sam Lansky pitched her a wild dream sequence featuring Madelyn Cline.

On Thursday the 48-year-old blonde came clean about her participation that stars her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. Turns out the Buffy The Vampire Slayer did indeed shoot scenes for the highly anticipated reboot

Gellar's pal Lisa Rinna chimed in with a cheeky comment: "Once a queen, always a queen, honey." And we couldn't agree more! The actress has long been known for her iconic roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I Know What You Did Last Summer. But what's next for this horror queen?

Rumors have been swirling about a potential Buffy revival, and Gellar has finally given us some insight into the project. Although she's tight-lipped about details, we know that it's scheduled to hit small screens in 2026.

But don't worry, folks - you won't have to wait too long for more I Know What You Did Last Summer goodness! The new installment is set to debut in theaters on July 18, and trust us when we say it's going to be a wild ride!

'Spoiler alert ¿¿ Helen Shivers is still dead,' Gellar began her caption. 'When anyone asked me if I was going to be in the new @ikwydlsmovie I never lied. I always answered 'I am dead,'' noted the Hollywood veteran

Jennifer Love Hewitt, who reprises her role as Julie James nearly three decades after the original film, has been raving about the new creative team behind the reboot. In an exclusive interview with Variety, Hewitt credited director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and co-writer Sam Lansky for bringing the franchise back with a lot of heart.

"It was very apparent from the word 'Go' is how much both of them loved the original movie," Hewitt gushed. "I feel like, if you're going to go back and make something new but pay homage to an original, you have to love it. You have to understand it."

The new film follows a fresh group of teenagers in Southport, North Carolina, who are stalked by a copycat killer after a deadly accident. But don't worry - Julie is on the case! The trauma expert and professor (and recently divorced from Ray Bronson) brings her expertise to the table as she mentors Ava, played by Chase Sui Wonders.

'And honestly I didn't see how I could be in the movie until @jennkaytin and @samlansky pitched me that crazy dream sequence with @madelyncline I still can't believe we were able to keep is a secret,' she said

But that's not all - Brandy Norwood makes a surprise appearance in the credits scene, teasing yet another chapter in the series!
