Well, we’ve had Jamie Lee Curtis’ return to the Halloween series in recent years and Neve Campbell is set to once again stand against Ghostface in Scream VII, so it’s not a big surprise that another much-loved final girl is set to make her return.
Yes, almost thirty years after fighting the hooked-hand killer for the first time in I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jennifer Love Hewitt is getting set to return to fight for her life in a third installment.
Speaking to Entertainment tonight, the actress said: “I can’t confirm but I won’t deny, how about that?” Hewitt said before adding that should she and her character, Julie James, return, she would be “a lot older than she was but still kick ass”.
The news has been around for a while and the actress confirmed last year on the Inside of You podcast that she would ‘100% return’ (here).
However, the actress did say she hasn’t seen a script, adding: “Here’s the truth, I don’t actually know what they have planned but I’m assuming that it’ll be lots of screaming and running around.”
She did, however, add: “hopefully the tops will be a little bigger than they were the first movie.”
While Hewitt is a little cagey, we know that Do Revenge and Someone Great director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson will be directing the third movie, with MFA writer Leah McKendrick penning the screenplay. We also know that Freddie Prinze Jnr is also in talks to return as Ray Bronson in the new movie.
So, what say you all, does Lucy deserve a return? Is she as big a character as Sidney Prescott or Laurie Strode? Let me know…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
