Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson Reunite on Set: Dawson's Creek Stars Beam in NYC

Katie Holmes couldn't contain her happiness as she and ex-boyfriend Joshua Jackson continued to film their upcoming trilogy Happy Hours

SIZZLING REUNION: Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson Rekindle Their On-Screen Chemistry (and Off?)

It's been over two decades since Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson stole our hearts as Joey Potter and Pacey Witter on the iconic teen drama Dawson's Creek. But the spark between them never fully extinguished, and now they're reuniting on screen - and it looks like their chemistry is still sizzling hot!

The 46-year-old actress, who was married to Tom Cruise from 2006 to 2012, and Jackson, 47, were spotted deep in conversation on the set of their new movie, Happy Hours. And we're not just talking about discussing the plot - sources close to the production reveal that the duo has been giggling like schoolchildren and exchanging flirtatious banter throughout the day.

But what's even more juicy is that Katie has been gushing about her friendship with Josh on Instagram, calling him one of her "wonderful friends." Insiders claim that their real-life bond is stronger than ever, and they've even been spotted out together in New York City, fueling rumors of a possible rekindling of their romance.

The couple's on-screen reunion comes after Katie wrote the screenplay for Happy Hours, which she'll also be directing. The movie follows two former lovers who reconnect years later, sparking a romantic flame that threatens to consume them both. It's clear that Katie has drawn from her own experiences with Josh, who dated her briefly in 1998.

Joshua's ex-wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, was the first to break the news of their divorce last year after just four years of marriage. But it seems like Joshua is already moving on - and what better way to do that than by reuniting with his Dawson's Creek co-star and rumored ex-lover?

And taking to the suburbs of New York City on Monday, the former Dawson's Creek co-stars looked happier than ever as they reunited once again on set

Busy Philipps, who played Pacey's girlfriend Audrey Liddle on the show, took to Instagram to express her excitement for the upcoming film, commenting: "We are seated." And we can't help but agree - this reunion is going to be one for the books!

The Happy Hours cast also includes Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson, and Jack Martin. But let's be real, folks - we're all here for Katie and Josh's on-screen reunion.

As one fan aptly put it: "Joey and Pacey forever!" We can't wait to see what happens next in this sizzling love story that refuses to die.
