Deadline reported that Katie Holmes will write, direct and star in Happy Hours, a new feature film trilogy that will reunite Homes with her ‘Dawson’s Creek’ co-star Joshua Jackson. Production on the first film will begin in New York City this summer, with the second and third installments scheduled to follow thereafter.
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.”
The cast also includes Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin.
Holmes previously directed the feature films All We Had, Alone Together and Rare Objects and an episode of The Kennedys After Camelot, in which she played Jackie Kennedy.
