We don’t wanna wait! Dawson’s Creek captured the hearts of its viewers when it originally aired on The WB — and many fans want the cast to reunite for a potential reboot.
The show — which ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2003 — starred James Van Der Beek as the titular character, Dawson Leery. The teen drama followed the lives of Dawson and his friends, played by Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams, as they grew up in the small town of Capeside.
The series was created by Kevin Williamson, who based the premise on his own childhood experiences in a small town. In August 2019, the TV writer admitted that there were talks about potentially revisiting the iconic show, but nothing was set in stone.
“We keep talking about it, but no, as of now, it’s not in the pipeline,” Williamson said during the TV Critics’ Association summer press tour. “We kind of ended it. The last episode was five years in the future. We put a nice button to it. Jen [Williams’ character] died. What are we going to do? We’ve talked about it, but until we can find a reason to do it … We come up with ideas, but no, as of now, no.”

“I would have to come back as a ghost — or put a lot of filters on the camera, and I’ll do flashback scenes,” she said at the time. “I think it’s a fun thing to sort of imagine. I like imagining it.”
Despite Williams’ excitement about maybe getting the gang back together,
