Two decades may have passed since the cult TV show Dawson’s Creek faded to black, but Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, the forever teen-dream romance of the late 90s, are proving chemistry can endure.
Reunited in New York City, the now-grown-up duo comes together again for Happy Hours, Holmes’ new trilogy of films. As they filmed, the former co-stars were photographed laughing between takes, looking relaxed and joyful.
Dressed down in an oversized flannel shirt and jersey grey tank top, contrasted with tailored navy trousers, tan boots and a dark brown Chloé Paddington bag, Holmes is bringing her effortless street style to the screen with a noughties twist. Meanwhile, Jackson also brought a touch of Indie Sleaze with a khaki cargo jacket, a graphic t-shirt, faded jeans, and a cross-body messenger bag.
Holmes, 46, is on triple duty as writer, director, and star of the project, which Deadline reports as being a dramedy chronicling the lives of a couple navigating the frictions of ambition, family, and time over the years.
Jackson, 47, plays opposite her, in what the outlet says is the first of three instalments, set to be shot back-to-back—meaning, there’s still plenty more of Joey and Pacey to come.
Though their on-screen love may have been the stuff of teenage dreams, Holmes and Jackson decided they were better off as friends early on. After a year of off-screen dating, the two called it quits, going on to have a handful of other public romances. Still, the affection remains.
“Katie and I are very close,” Jackson said earlier this year on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast, Dinner’s On Me. “There’s always that, ‘I know, you know.’”
And to that we say, who better to portray all of love’s messiness over time than two people who’ve already lived it?
