Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are reuniting for a new project.
Holmes is writing, directing and starring in Happy Hours, a new film trilogy which will also star Jackson, Deadline reports.
ABC Audio has reached out to Holmes’ rep for comment.
Happy Hours is about two people (played by Holmes and Jackson) who navigate their relationship “within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life’s inevitable obstacles,” according to the outlet.
The film will be a dramedy that explores what happens when young lovers reconnect as adults.
Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow and Jack Martin are also set for the film’s cast.
The movie begins production in New York City this summer, with its sequel and third installment scheduled to shoot closely after.
Holmes and Jackson played Joey Potter and Pacey Witter on Dawson’s Creek, the six-season teen drama series that also starred James Van Der Beek.

It was a family affair for Pedro Pascal at the world premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The actor, who stars as Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic in the highly anticipated Marvel film, was all smiles as he posed for photos with his sisters, Lux Pascal and Javiera Balmaceda, on the blue carpet at the LA premiere on Monday night.
Missing from the sibling group was their brother, Nicolás Balmaceda Pascal. While speaking with Good Morning America on the carpet, Lux Pascal said that she and her siblings make up the Fantastic Four.
“We’re four,” she said. “My siblings and I, we’re four. So it’s kind of incredible that my bro is, like, the lead. So yeah, me and my siblings are the Fantastic Four, I will say that.”
The upcoming film follows the Marvel superhero team the Fantastic Four as they are “forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond,” according to its official synopsis.
“As far as the movies are concerned, I think it’s definitely a world that is completely dedicated to the original comics that were published in early 1960s,” Pedro Pascal said Monday night. “A kind of innocence and optimism rooted in family togetherness to tell the story that we can’t do it alone.”
He continued, “I think that Reed has such an intense brain, let’s say, that would kind of devour him if it weren’t for the family that anchors him to the world. And he learns a lot more about love than he does about the universe through his relationships with his family and his partner and his wife, Sue Storm. And becoming a father, of course.”
“Those kinds of challenges are a lot scarier than god-sized galactic vampires,” he added.
Making up the Fantastic Four with Pedro Pascal are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters July 24.
Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and Good Morning America.

Cameras have started rolling on Ted Lasso season 4.
The upcoming fourth season of Ted Lasso has started filming in Kansas City, Missouri. Apple CEO Tim Cook made the announcement in a post shared to social media on Monday.
“From biscuits to BBQ: Ted Lasso Season 4 kicks off production in Kansas City!” Cook wrote in his post.
He also shared a first-look image of the Ted Lasso cast seated in a booth at a diner.

Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Aisling Sharkey and Abbie Hern join as new cast members for the upcoming season.
According to its official logline, season 4 finds Ted returning to Richmond, where he takes on “his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team.”
Apple renewed Ted Lasso for a fourth season back in March. At the time, Sudeikis teased what is to come in the new batch of episodes.
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’” Sudeikis said in a press release, “in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”

Adam Sandler‘s beloved character, Happy Gilmore, is making his return in Happy Gilmore 2, and things have definitely changed.
Nearly 30 years since Happy first hit the big screen, Happy Gilmore became a ’90s classic that helped launch Sandler into comedy superstardom with its one-liners and over-the-top antics on the golf course.
In an interview with Michael Strahan that aired on Good Morning America Monday, Sandler shared why he decided to bring Gilmore out of retirement, revealing that fan requests for a sequel finally got to him.
“When I walk down the street a lotta times people will say, ‘You ever gonna do Happy Gilmore 2?'” he shared. “And for 28 years, I was like, ‘What are you talking about? No.’ And then all of a sudden I was like, ‘Maybe.'”
Sandler said Gilmore’s life now it isn’t quite what it used to be.
“He’s older. He’s a little thicker, as you can tell from one of these camera angles,” Sandler joked. “But Happy Gilmore’s life isn’t perfect right now at the beginning of the movie. And he’s a family man, and he’s gettin’ back into the golf game.”
The film, which was announced by Netflix in May 2024, also boasts a star-studded cast with cameos from Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce and even professional golfers.
Strahan asked how Sandler managed to pull such an impressive lineup together.
”I don’t know how it happened,” he shared. “We wrote ’em stuff, everybody was kind enough to come. And everybody in it did a great job. Every day, someone cool would show up and we’d hang out.”
The movie is also a family affair for Sandler, featuring his wife, Jackie Sandler, and daughters, Sadie Sandler and Sunny Sandler.
