The photos are extremely Pacey and Joey coded, which is why everyone started to freak out over what this could possibly be. Jason Howard / Bauer-Griffin / GC Images / Getty Images Then, Deadline exclusively revealed that Katie and Josh are actually filming Happy Hours, a new film trilogy that Katie also wrote and is directing, with the Dawson's Creek duo starring in the film as the leads. According to the outlet, the trilogy will be filmed back to back. Jason Howard / Bauer-Griffin / GC Images / Getty Images Alongside Katie and Joshua, the films are also set to star Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson, Jack Martin, and more. Happy Hours is set to follow two people (Holmes and Jackson) who are navigating their relationship while also juggling their careers, families, and love. Per Deadline, the film is "a character-driven dramedy that explores the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss, and hope." Jason Howard / Bauer-Griffin / GC Images / Getty Images It's worth noting that while also starring on Dawson's Creek together for six seasons from 1998 to 2003, Katie and Josh also reportedly dated for about a year early in the show's run. When asked about their relationship in a 1998 interview with Rolling Stone, Katie said, "I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year. I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always." Then, in 2003, Joshua publicly talked about their relationship, telling Conan O'Brien, "In the very beginning Katie and I did have a romance." Warner Bros Earlier this year, while appearing on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's on Me podcast, Joshua opened up about his friendships with his Dawson's Creek costars, including Katie, saying, "Busy [Philipps] and Michelle [Williams] are very, very close. And Katie and I are very close. It's not a daily call. Sometimes it's not a weekly or monthly or even a half-yearly call. But when you're together, A, there's always that, like, I know you know." Evan Agostini / Getty Images He continued, "And B, there is, you know, these moments, like, these major moments in life are, like, other than your husband, there's probably no other people in your life that you are that forged to. Because you had to go through good and bad, and happy and fuck you, and dont talk to me, and I love you."

And 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." Steve Sands / New York Newswire / BACKGRID Busy, who starred on Dawson's Creek for two seasons as Audrey Liddell, commented on the post as well, sharing her excitement: Busy Philipps / Instagram / Via instagram.com And, just like Busy, fans - including myself - took to X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram to share their excitement over Katie and Joshua reuniting for this new romance trilogy.
