Jennifer Love Hewitt Shares Exciting New Venture
Jennifer Love Hewitt was just ten when she landed a role on Disney’s Kids Incorporated. She’s released four studio albums, but is mainly known for her acting roles. Her 1997 movie I Know What You Did Last Summer inspired her latest venture.
The 9-1-1 actress serves as narrator and executive producer for the ID true crime docuseries, A Killer Among Friends. Season 2 premiered this week. Jennifer Love Hewitt opened up to PEOPLE magazine about how the horror movie sparked her interest in true crime.
“It felt very similar to [my character] in the I Know What You Did Last Summer world, with those friends who held on to those circumstances throughout their lives for so long afterward. There was a parallel when I was thinking about attaching myself to this. I understood how these stories follow us for a lifetime,” she told the outlet.
New episodes of A Killer Among Friends drop weekly on ID and HBO Max through August 24. 9-1-1 returns to ABC this fall and Jennifer Love Hewitt showed off a major transformation ahead of the new season.
