A Dawson’s Creek reunion might finally be happening, and fans are officially not okay. Michelle Williams has hinted that she would be open to reuniting with her former co-stars in an upcoming film project titled Happy Hours, sending early 2000s nostalgia straight through the roof. While nothing is confirmed yet, the excitement around Happy Hours is already building, especially with Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson leading the project. Here is everything you need to know about the much-talked-about movie trilogy.
What Is Happy Hours?
Happy Hours is an upcoming character-driven film trilogy that explores adult relationships, emotional reconnections, and the complicated reality of love later in life. The story centers on two people who reconnect after years apart and navigate romance, careers, family, and personal growth.
Unlike a traditional rom-com, Happy Hours leans more into grounded drama with warmth, humor, and emotional depth. Think mature storytelling, lived in emotions, and conversations that feel real rather than glossy. The project is designed as three interconnected films, allowing the story and characters to evolve over time instead of being wrapped up in a single movie.
Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson Reunite
The biggest headline-grabbing element is the reunion of Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, who famously played Joey Potter and Pacey Witter on Dawson’s Creek. Katie Holmes is not just starring in Happy Hours; she is also writing and directing the entire trilogy, making this a deeply personal project for her. Joshua Jackson stars opposite her, marking their first major on-screen collaboration in years.
Their reunion alone has been enough to spark massive fan interest, with longtime viewers eager to see them share the screen again in a completely new context.
Michelle Williams Responds to Reunion Buzz
Michelle Williams, who played Jen Lindley on Dawson’s Creek, recently addressed the possibility of joining the project. While she has not officially signed on, she made it clear that she is open to the idea and technically available if the opportunity arises.
Her comments immediately reignited hopes of a broader Dawson’s Creek reunion. Even the possibility of Williams appearing in Happy Hours has fans watching casting updates closely. As of now, her involvement remains unconfirmed.
Supporting Cast and Production Details
The ensemble cast includes Mary Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, Nathan Darrow, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr, Johnna Dias Watson, and Jack Martin. Filming for the first installment began in New York City in 2025, with plans to shoot the remaining films consecutively. There is no official release date yet, but industry expectations suggest the first film could arrive in 2026.
Happy Hours is not a Dawson’s Creek reboot, but it taps into the same emotional honesty that made the original series resonate. It offers a chance to see beloved actors explore adult relationships with maturity, vulnerability, and depth. With Katie Holmes steering the creative vision and Joshua Jackson returning as her co-lead, the trilogy already feels like a meaningful reunion, even before any additional cast surprises.
