You don't have to wait to watch the cast of Dawson's Creek reunite for their 20-year anniversary
Twenty years (and two months) ago, Dawson’s Creek premiered on The WB, ushering in a new era of dramas about teens who were hyperverbal, earnest, and a tad overwrought. The network made its bones off of Kevin Williamson’s series, which starred James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson as Capeside’s worldliest residents, despite not being old enough to vote. There were ever-shifting love triangles, a religious freak grandparent, and, most infamously, a storyline about statutory rape (and that was before the show got really melodramatic).
