The cast of Dawson's Creek will reunite for the first time since the show wrapped back in 2003, 22 years ago. The beloved teen drama debuted in 1998 and featured one of the best TV couples of the 1990s with Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) and Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson).
The upcoming reunion will include Holmes, Jackson, James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe and Busy Philipps. It will take place on September 22 in New York at The Richard Rodgers Theater.
TheDawson's Creek cast will be doing a live reading of the 1998 pilot episode of the show, and will benefit F Cancer, along with Van Der Beek, who was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in 2024. Phillips, Smith, and Monroe, who were not part of the first season, will read other roles during the reading.

This reunion is certain to be very special for all Dawson's Creek fans. To have the whole cast come together after the show's end is something that has not happened before, and is a very special treat for viewers after such a long period of time. Not only will it be the cast together, but to see them read the pilot episode makes it that much more iconic.
The show followed a group of friends as they navigated their high school and college years in the 1990s and 2000s. Dawson's Creek episodes explored the characters navigating the difficulties of life as a young adult while dealing with anxiety and relationship issues. Now, they are coming together to help one of their own in a time of need.
Our Take On The Dawson's Creek Cast Reunion

This reunion of the cast is so exciting to hear about, and a pilot read is the perfect idea. To be able to see these actors go back to that first pilot episode many years later and read the lines that they once spoke when they were teenagers in 1998 is such a treat, and will bring back such fond memories.
The reunion being centered around something so important, such as benefiting F Cancer, makes it all that more special. I am glad that they were able to make the reunion one that revolved around sentiment and, most importantly, helping a vital cause.
Reunions can sometimes be a let-down if they are not done right or at the right time, but with all the details released so far, this is the perfect time and place for a Dawson's Creek reunion.
