'Happy Hours': A 'Dawson’s Creek' Reunion You Didn’t Know You Needed

Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson reunite in heartfelt new film series.
Remember that iconic Dawson’s Creek duo who kept us glued to the screen? Well, the sparks are flying again — but this time, behind and in front of the camera.
Deadline reveals that Katie Holmes is writing, directing, and starring in a new film series called Happy Hours, and guess who’s stepping back into her love interest’s shoes? None other than Joshua Jackson, her former on-screen boyfriend.
Happy Hours dives deep into the messy, beautiful reality of adult relationships — juggling careers, family pressures, and the pursuit of love. This character-driven dramedy trilogy follows two former lovers reconnecting as adults, facing emotional highs and lows with all the complexity fans loved in Joey and Pacey’s story.
Their real-life romance during Dawson’s Creek season one adds a juicy layer to this reunion, making their onscreen chemistry even more electric. Although they parted ways years ago, Holmes and Jackson’s professional bond remains strong — and fans are buzzing with anticipation.
In an exclusive with People, Holmes called working with Jackson again "a testament to friendship," and couldn’t hide her excitement about the project and its stellar cast. Alongside them, big names like Constance Wu and Mary Louise Parker join the dramedy, promising plenty of depth and drama.
