More than 20 years after Dawson's Creek, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are giving you all the feels all over again by once again reuniting for a new onscreen project. And on Wednesday, the former co-stars were spotted on the colorful streets of New York City filming a scene for their latest flick, Happy Hours, which Holmes is not only starring in but also helming.
Holmes, who is now an acclaimed director and mom to Suri, 19, with ex-husband Tom Cruise, appeared at ease and radiant in a salmon plaid flannel paired with a gray tank and navy pants. Cool yet charismatic, Jackson fitted in with the scene in a classic sage green jacket and classic blue jeans. The moment was both contemporary and throwback, a lovely acknowledgment of their shared connection to the world of Capeside and a thrilling glimpse of a new era of comradeship.

Happy Hours will be the pair's first acting project together since Dawson's Creek wrapped in 2003, and fans of the iconic series are saying that it's a full-circle moment they never saw coming. Holmes headed to Instagram on the same day to share her excitement at the reunion, writing: "Working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship." Happy Hours is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make." The sentimentality isn't one-sided. Jackson, who is notorious for his everyman appeal and very close ties to his early days as an actor, had just months before spoken about how close he remains with Holmes.
That friendship now serves as the foundation for this new creative endeavor. So while the reunion will no doubt warm the hearts of lifelong fans, it still serves to emphasize a beautiful evolution from teen drama royals to artists who grow older while still telling stories that resonate. With Holmes directing and their onscreen dynamic clearly still in full swing, Happy Hours will surely be more than your average movie experience. It's an anthem for friendship, personal growth, and second chances, not only on camera, but also in real life.
