Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson met nearly three decades ago on the seminal teen drama “Dawson’s Creek,” which launched them and their co-stars, James Van Der Beek and Michelle Williams, to global stardom. When Holmes and Jackson reconnected all these years later on “Happy Hours,” a romantic dramedy that premieres Saturday at Tribeca Festival, they weren’t prepared for the public to be so invested in their reunion.

Sure enough, TikTok was flooded with videos from fans who caught wind of the production schedule and followed them around as they filmed in the East Village and other parts of New York City. Naturally, those social media posts involved captions about the joys of seeing Joey (Holmes) and Pacey (Jackson) back together.
