How about another horror legacy sequel to round out the summer? The hook-wielding killer from the hit '90s slasher film is back to torment a new group of pretty young friends with a dark secret. The latest I Know What You Did Last Summer isn't just a reboot, though — it's a sequel with some iconic faces. The legendary Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt are back to tap into our collective love of '90s nostalgia and slasher films.

I Know What You Did Last Summer also stars Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, and Austin Nichols.

The sequel slash reboot hit theaters in July and is now officially available to watch at home as of Aug. 26. Here's everything you need to know to watch — including when and where it's streaming and how you can watch for less.

What is I Know What You Did Last Summer about?

Part reboot, part sequel, I Know What You Did Last Summer borrows the 1997 original's basic plot. In the fishing village of Southport, North Carolina, a group of teens accidentally kills someone and covers it up. They think they've gotten away with murder until a mysterious, hooded, fish hook-wielding stranger starts stalking them down. This time around, however, the guilty teens seek out survivors from the first film — Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) — for help.

Check out the trailer below:

Is I Know What You Did Last Summer worth watching?

Still in select theaters, the slasher legacy sequel has earned around $64 million at the global box office. While it has definitely succeeded against a reported budget of $17 million, it's struggled to find its audience compared to other legacy sequels like 28 Years Later and Final Destination: Bloodlines. The reviews are largely mediocre, as it currently holds a 37 percent critic rating and 68 percent audience rating at Rotten Tomatoes. To be fair, the original also has pretty low scores.

For what it's worth, Mashable's own reviewer had mostly good things to say about I Know What You Did Last Summer. In his review, Jason Adams cheered, "Here, Robinson's film leans into the fun of horror legacy, playing to the strengths of the '90s original and throwing curveballs at a new generation. It's all a learning process: When life stabs you, you strike a pose in your designer jeans and vintage rock tee and stab it the hell back, baby."

As of Aug. 26, there are two ways you can watch I Know What You Did Last Summer at home: buy it or rent it on digital for as low as $19.99. However, if you wait a couple of months, it will also be available to stream on Netflix. See the details below.

Buy or rent it on digital

I Know What You Did Last Summer is available as of Aug. 26 to buy for $24.99 or rent for $19.99 at digital-on-demand retailers. Make note that if you choose to rent, you'll get 30 days to watch the film, but just 48 hours to finish it once you start. If you choose to buy it, then it's yours to keep.

Here are some quick links to rent or purchase the film:

Stream it on Netflix (at a later date)

While we don't know when I Know What You Did Last Summer will make its streaming debut yet, we do know that it will be on Netflix, given Sony Pictures' and Netflix's agreement that gives the streamer first dibs. If other recent Sony Pictures films, Heart Eyes and Paddington in Peru, are any indication, we can make an educated guess that it will land on Netflix in November.

Netflix doesn't offer free trials, nor does it allow you to share an account (unless you pay for an extra user), so you'll need your own Netflix subscription to stream I Know What You Did Last Summer. Fortunately, Netflix has a few membership tiers; all three options will grant you access.

Watching Netflix with ads is the most affordable option at $7.99 per month. If you want to eliminate ads, the price jumps up to $17.99 for a Standard subscription. Finally, there's a third tier called Netflix Premium that costs a steep $24.99 per month and will let you watch on four household devices at once (as opposed to the other plans' two devices) in 4K Ultra HD + HDR with no ads.
