Jennifer Love Hewitt's rise to stardom took a significant leap a few years later when she secured a prominent role as Sara Reeves Merrin on Fox Network's "Party of Five" in 1995. Originally cast for just a nine-episode story arc, her outstanding reception by both audiences and critics led to her becoming a regular cast member. She continued to portray Sara until the show's sixth and final season in 1999. For her performance on "Party of Five," Hewitt received nominations for a Kids' Choice Award, a Teen Choice Award, and a YoungStar Award.

Her breakthrough role came in 1997 when she starred in the blockbuster film "I Know What You Did Last Summer," playing the character Julie James alongside '90s stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. The movie achieved global box office success, grossing $125 million worldwide. In 1998, she reprised her role in the sequel, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," which, while not as successful as the first film, had a strong opening weekend.

In 1999, she took on the lead role in and served as a producer for a "Party of Five" spin-off titled "Time of Your Life," which followed her character's journey to New York City. Despite her immense popularity at the time, the show was canceled after only half of the season had aired.
