Get ready for a dose of nostalgia! Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, best known as Joey and Pacey from the iconic teen drama Dawson's Creek, are reuniting for a new film trilogy titled Happy Hours. This exciting project will see Holmes not only starring alongside Jackson but also taking on the role of writer and director.

The first film in the trilogy is set to begin production in New York City this summer, with the subsequent installments following closely behind. The cast also includes Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, and others.
A Second Chance at Love?
Happy Hours is described as a character-driven dramedy that explores the complexities of relationships, careers, and family responsibilities. The story revolves around two individuals navigating the challenges of life while pursuing love, highlighting the shared joys, losses, and hopes that connect them.
“Working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship,” Holmes shared on Instagram. “We can’t wait for everyone to see what we make.”
From Creek to Screen: A Look Back
For fans of Dawson's Creek, this reunion is a dream come true. Holmes and Jackson's on-screen chemistry was undeniable, and their real-life romance in the late 90s only added to the allure. While their relationship may have been brief, their friendship has endured, making this collaboration even more special.
While the plot details remain scarce, the premise of Happy Hours suggests a mature and introspective exploration of love and relationships. It will be intriguing to see how Holmes and Jackson portray characters facing the realities of adulthood, a far cry from their teenage angst in Capeside.
