Katie Holmes is set to write, direct and star in Happy Hours, a new feature film trilogy where she'll reunited with her Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson, Deadline has learned.
Others in the cast include Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin. Production on the first film kicks off in New York City this summer, with the second and third installments scheduled to follow closely after.
Happy Hours is described as a story about two people (Jackson and Holmes) navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life's inevitable obstacles. It's 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.
