Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar have been spotted in Sydney as the actor prepares to reprise one of his most famous roles.
The Hollywood power couple have made a very low-key arrival in Australia for Freddie to film the sequel to the 90s cult classic I Know What You Did Last Summer.
They were seen at Chin Chin in Surry Hills with their children, daughter Charlotte Grace, 15, and son Rocky James, 12, on Saturday, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The couple will reportedly stay in a private home in Sydney until Christmas, when they will return to the United States after wrapping filming.
Freddie, 48, has long been rumored to reprise his role as Ray Bronson in the reboot of the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer.
His wife Sarah, 47, officially confirmed his involvement last month and his arrival in Australia comes as filming on the project began in Sydney in recent days.
Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar (pictured in California in October 2023) have been spotted in Sydney as the actor prepares to reprise one of his most famous roles.
Sarah also starred in the main cast of the popular film, but will not be making a cameo, as her character Helen Shivers was killed off in the original.
However, she will still be closely involved behind the scenes, as Freddie stars, while her best friend Jennifer Kaytin Robinson will direct.
“My best friend runs it, so we joke that I have an unofficial job and I’m continuity,” she told People last month.
“So I’m always the one saying, ‘Well, that would happen, or that wouldn’t happen with those characters,’ so I have kind of an unofficial job title.”
Freddie and Sarah met on the set of I Know What You Did last summer, but didn’t start dating until three years later and are now one of Hollywood’s biggest success stories.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is also rumored to return in her role as Julie James for the reboot, but she has not yet been seen in Australia.
Monster star Nicholas Chavez, Matty Healy’s model fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel and The Summer I Turned Pretty actress Lola Tung are also part of the cast.
Outerbanks’ Madelyn Cline, Bodies Bodies Bodies star Chase Sui Wonders and One Tree Hill icon Austin Nichols are also currently filming for the Sydney premiere.
The Hollywood power couple has arrived in Australia for Freddie to film the sequel to 90s cult classic I Know What You Did Last Summer (they both appear in the original film).
The thriller follows four teenagers who accidentally run over a man and dump his body to hide their crime, before being stalked by a killer who knows their secret.
Nicholas, 25, has been spotted around Australia in recent days as he surprised his fans by making a low-key appearance at a Melbourne cafe over the weekend.
Nicholas, known for his portrayal of murderer Lyle Menendez in the hit Netflix series Monster, visited the Little Collins Melbourne cafe, leaving viewers completely stunned.
The waitress Elena took tiktok to share a video of her encounter with the actor as he paused to smile to take pictures with the delighted fan.
Along with the video, shared on her page @elenaabellinaso, she wrote: ‘POV: You moved to Melbourne and Nicolás Chávez passes by the place where you got a job.’
Nicholas has kept the details of his visit Down Under a secret, but his girlfriend Victoria Abbott took to Instagram to share some photos from the trip.
The couple looked loved-up as they posed arm in arm during a sunset hot air balloon ride in an adorable snap.
They were also seen feeding kangaroos and petting koalas while getting up close and personal with local Australian wildlife.
Details about filming the long-awaited sequel have been kept under wraps until now, but the film is expected to hit theaters on July 18, 2025.

A reboot featuring the original stars has been in the works for a while, with reports indicating that they were in talks to return to the franchise as early as February 2023.
The thriller follows four teenagers who accidentally run over a man and dump his body to hide their crime, before being stalked by a killer who knows their secret.
It also starred Ryan Phillippe in a lead role, while Johnny Galecki, Bridgette Wilson and the late Anne Heche, who died in August 2022 at age 53, were also in the cast.
The hit film, loosely based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel, spawned the sequels I Still Know What You Did Last Summer in 1998 and I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer in 2006.
It was also the source material for a 2021 Amazon Prime series that lasted only one season, with Madison Iseman and Brianne Tju in the lead roles.
