As soon as we heard Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes were going to have an onscreen reunion, we were locked in. We’ve already picked out seats at the movies. You might as well find a brick wall and paint: “Ask us to not ever get over this.”
Starting in July, the actors, who rose to fame playing Pacey Witter and Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek, began filming Happy Hours, a trilogy of movies Holmes is writing, directing, and starring in alongside Jackson. In December, a full six months later, Holmes and Jackson were back in New York City to shoot more scenes together. The new photos will make you squeal.
They’re really embracing the second chance romance trope because Happy Hours is being described as an “emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults.” (Did you hear the millennial scream millions just let out?) The nostalgia of seeing two of the most famous teen stars of their day working together again, and the effortless chemistry that’s still there after all these years? It’s everything.
Since we can’t stop looking at the photos, Swooon is going to let you do the same. See the newest batch of behind-the-scenes photos of Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson on the Happy Hours set.
