Sarah Michelle Gellar trolls her fans with ‘Scooby-Doo 3’ tease, but the truth is so much better

Sarah Michelle Gellar has been playfully stirring up her fans’ emotions on social media, particularly by teasing projects tied to her beloved roles in Scooby-Doo and I Know What You Did Last Summer. While she won’t be returning to the latter in the upcoming 2025 sequel, her cheeky posts are keeping fans engaged and speculating.

Gellar’s Instagram Antics

Recently, Gellar posted on Instagram claiming “Scooby-Doo 3 is on the way,” only to reveal a chair labeled with I Know What You Did Last Summer. The bait-and-switch drew laughs and comments from fans, some demanding justice for her character Helen Shivers, while others reminisced about her iconic turn as Daphne Blake.

Gellar’s sense of humor underscores how much fans still adore her work in these roles, even decades later.

I Know What You Did Last Summer Updates

For the upcoming installment of the slasher series, original cast members Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are set to return, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson directing. Gellar, whose character Helen Shivers was tragically killed in the 1997 original, confirmed she won’t reprise her role but will be involved in an unofficial capacity, offering advice on continuity and character dynamics.

While she’s ruled out a resurrection for Helen, Gellar hasn’t shut the door on creative twists in horror movies, leaving some fans clinging to hope for a surprise appearance.

Could Scooby-Doo 3 Happen?

Gellar’s tease about a potential Scooby-Doo 3 delighted fans of the live-action series. Though no sequel is currently in development, her playful nod to the franchise, which also starred her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., alongside Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini, reignited nostalgia.

Considering James Gunn, who penned the scripts for the first two movies, has since become a major Hollywood player, fans are speculating whether this was just Gellar joking or a sly hint at a revival.

While Gellar may not be stepping back into Helen Shivers’ shoes, her legacy in horror and mystery genres endures. As she continues to support projects like the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel and tease her fan base with nostalgic throwbacks, she proves she’s still a beloved figure in the world of cult classics.

Whether it’s solving mysteries with the Scooby gang or getting caught up in slasher chaos, Sarah Michelle Gellar knows how to keep fans intrigued. Who knows? Maybe Scooby-Doo 3 or even a Helen Shivers revival could be just around the corner—stranger things have happened in horror and Hollywood!
