Here’s some exciting news for fans of the 90s teen drama Dawson’s Creek, as Pacey and Joey – sorry, Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes – are set to reunite for Happy Hours.
Planned as a feature film trilogy, with Holmes serving as writer, director and star, Happy Hours will see the former Dawson’s Creek co-stars playing “two people (Jackson and Holmes) navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life’s inevitable obstacles”.
Described as a “character-driven dramedy”, the film will explore “he emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss, and hope”. It will mark Holmes’ fourth (fifth and sixth..?) film as director after 2016’s All We Had, 2022’s Alone Together, and 2023’s Rare Objects.
Filming on the first instalment of Happy Hours is set to get underway in the summer, with Holmes and Jackson starring alongside Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin.
