General Hospital Alum Nicholas Alexander Chavez Books Highly Anticipated Horror Movie Sequel

Former General Hospital star Nicholas Alexander Chavez has gone on to great acclaim with his Netflix shows Grotesquerie and his dream job, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The actor, who took a hilarious turn in the 2022 film Crushed, has enjoyed his horror success. Now, he’s diving into a new scary project linked to a fan-favorite 1990s franchise.

Delving Into Darkness

Deadline reported that Chavez will join the latest sequel to the 1997 slasher flick I Know What You Did Last Summer. The film concerns “Four young friends bound by a tragic accident are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town,” per IMDb.

The original film starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Johnny Galecki, and Bridgette Wilson. Kevin Williamson, who launched the Scream franchise, wrote the film that was loosely based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel of the same name. Prinze is reprising his role of Ray Bronson, and Hewitt is still negotiating a possible return as well.

We Know What He’s Doing Next Summer

Chavez, new to the franchise, joins fellow actors Lola Tung (The Summer I Turned Pretty, 2022), Austin Nichols (The Day After Tomorrow, 2004), and model and musician Gabriette. The original had a 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, as well as an unrelated third film titled I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006). If this movie hits big, Chavez could have a franchise in the works (unless he gets killed off).

Gellar isn’t returning because the former soap star realistically pointed out to Deadline that her character died in the original film. Of note, Billy Campbell, star of the TV Series Helix and the classic adventure movie The Rocketeer, will also star alongside Chavez and the rest of the cast. While Chavez hasn’t ruled out an eventual GH return, he’s got many projects keeping him busy for now.

Sony Pictures will release the movie theatrically on July 18, 2025.
