'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,' it added.
Nearly 30 years before 'Happy Hours,' Holmes and Jackson had their breakthrough roles in 'Dawson's Creek.'
The popular teen drama was set in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts, and ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2003 on The WB.

While James Van Der Beek starred as the titular Dawson Leery, Jackson portrayed his best friend, Pacey Witter. Holmes played Josephine 'Joey' Potter, Dawson's second-best friend and eventual love interest.
The iconic cast was later rounded out by Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley), Kerr Smith (Jack McPhee), Meredith Monroe (Andie McPhee), Busy Philipps (Audrey Liddell) and Chad Michael Murray (Charlie Todd).
While Holmes and Jackson's characters ended up together on the show, the pair also dated in real life between 1998 and 1999.

Earlier this year, during an episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's 'Dinner's on Me' podcast, Jackson revealed which of his former co-stars he still keeps in touch with.
'Busy and Michelle are very, very close,' he said in April. 'And Katie and I are very close.'
Jackson went on to marry actress Jodie Turner-Smith in 2019, although they ultimately split in 2023. The former couple share daughter Juno, 5.

After her divorce from the 'Mission: Impossible' star, Holmes dated Jamie Foxx from 2015 to 2019.
Meanwhile, 'Dawson's Creek' creator Kevin Williamson recently teased a possible revival of the beloved series.
'Not in television form. I think there's other ways that it can come to fruition,' he told The Post in June. 'But I'm not so sure… I feel complete. I feel like we told the story.'

JaNa Craig's Split Proves A Pattern & It's Black Women Who Pay The Price
Love Island Season 6 couple JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez have broken up nearly a year after leaving the villa. As soon as the split was announced,fans immediately started speculating about what happened. Rumors about their ending began spreading like wildfire when social media users began noticing nearly all of the Season 6 cast and host Ariana Madoix had unfollowed Rodriguez. What few saw coming was that their demise was due to Rodriguez, who is Dominican, being an alleged racist and clout chaser who had been faking his relationship with the Las Vegas native the entire time. Craig confirmed the breakup on Tuesday when she shared a statement via Instagram Stories. 'As you know, Kenny and I are no longer together,' Craig wrote. 'Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is. Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn't been genuine since day one has been truly devastating.' Shortly after, Rodriguez followed with his own statement, sharing that 'the past few days have been incredibly difficult.' He continued, 'I'll always be grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created. I release this chapter with no ill will, only hope that JaNa's path forward brings her nothing but happiness.' Craig called out Rodriquez in a response on Instagram, referring to him as a 'manipulative liar.' She said, 'You not taking accountability and telling people the type of person you really are is insane to me!!' Season 6 castmates seemingly confirmed claims that Rodriguez was using Craig for brand deals and status. Serena Page called him 'a narcissist and a racist' on an Instagram post while Leah Kateb called Rodriguez a 'clout demon' under another post. Olivia Walker reposted Rodriguez's statement and said 'I hope this gives you the clout you always wanted you f*****g loser.' In another post, shared by a friend of Craig's who wasn't on the show, she suggests that Rodriguez had messages in his phone that said he doesn't like Black women, he thought he'd get more money out of their relationship and that he couldn't wait to break up so he could date other women. Since Monday, Rodriguez has lost about 100,000 followers on Instagram. He has yet to respond to the allegations. Reality TV dating shows have historically been unkind to Black women. Especially as desirability politics, tokenism and a lack of diversity in cast have long been a standard. More recently, however, Black women have found themselves in a peculiar place in the genre. Those discriminatory factors that have existed on reality dating shows have come head-to-head with the natural social capital Black women on these shows have. With more Love Island USA fans gravitating towards Black women — and the cultural fetishizing and appropriation they face — they've become central players on the show the past two seasons. But still, they experience the same misogynoir they would've otherwise and face double standards and ridicule when they stray outside of the boundaries others want to keep them in. In other words, it's cool to be a Black woman until it's time to be with a Black woman. A similar incident happened with Love Island USA Season 4 winners and fan favorites Zeta Morrison and Timmy Pandolfi. After Pandolfi refused to ride to the airport with Morrison, she said in an interview that she soon found out that he was faking his connection with her the entire time. She recounted a conversation with his sister in which his sister revealed she said, 'I told Timmy to go for a dark skin girl. America loves that.' Rodriguez seemed to have the same idea. This is not only incredibly unfair and manipulative to Craig and Morrison, but it's dehumanizing. Let's be very clear: we weren't rooting for Craig and Rodriguez because they just had stellar chemistry. We were rooting for Craig to be happy. We were rooting for a Black woman with a bubbly personality who wore her heart on her sleeve to get the treatment that she deserved after witnessing men play in her face time and time again. And Black women at home watching deserve to see someone who looks like them being loved genuinely and abundantly. Rodriguez would've been better off showing exactly how he felt about Craig — and Black women — early on. Because of his alleged stunt, he's worse than Simmons and Newsum. Craig was vocal about discussing them connecting over faith and going to church together. But Rodriguez wasn't praying for her, he was preying on her. For nearly a year, while Craig was sharing vulnerable, intimate and authentic moments with Rodriguez, he was carrying on a lie. He rode Craig's coattails to bring in brand deals and followers. He used her for capitalistic gain and clout. He took advantage of her and the social power that Black women come with. When Black women root for you, we're loud and confident about it. We rally support for our faves and that energy spreads to other demographics. As Love Island USA gains more popularity, that's become more and more evident in the reality TV genre. Black women may be the prize but we are not your meal ticket. Any breakup can be hard, but what Craig is experiencing is on another level of trauma that no one deserves to go through. JaNa Craig can do bad all by her damn self. And the same folks who were rooting for her will continue to be there to lift her up and give her community and care that is filled with real love, long after everyone has forgotten Rodriguez and the clout he so desperately chased has vanished.

Original Mommy Blogger Who Nearly Died in Plane Crash Expecting Baby 13 Years After Her Last: 'Total Plot Twist!'
Stephanie Nielson is already a mother to Nicholas, Oliver, Jane and ClaireNEED TO KNOW Original mommy blogger Stephanie Nielson is pregnant again, 13 years after welcoming her fourth baby The expectant mom announced the exciting news on her Instagram, sharing a picture of the sonogram In the caption, the soon-to-be mom of five revealed the sex and the due date for her little oneStephanie Nielson is expanding her family. Nielson, a mommy blogger who first stepped into the spotlight after sharing her tale of survival and endurance following a plane crash, announced via Instagram that she's pregnant and expecting another baby with husband Christian Nielson. Sharing a picture of her sonogram, the expectant mom said that the pregnancy news comes as "a total plot twist," revealing that the couple is expecting a baby girl in February 2026. The couple is already parents to four kids: Nicholas, Oliver, Jane and Claire. "Just two weeks before Claire got married, I went to the doctor for what I thought was for something completely different and was given some very unexpected news - a total plot twist! I'm pregnant," she wrote in the caption. She continued, "This summer brings lots of change: kids heading off to college, a missionary, an 8th grader, a new business, ... and a new little Nielson baby girl arriving in February 2026. 🩷." On a summer afternoon in 2008, Nielson and her husband were in a plane crash in St. Johns, Ariz. One minute, he was taking the twin-engine plane into the clouds, and the next, the duo were bracing for impact. After that came a crash, a fire and a death-defying crawl out of molten airplane wreckage. Burns covered more than 80 percent of her body and her face was damaged. In that moment, Nielson lost her health, her beauty and the idyllic existence she'd chronicled on her blog. 'I lost my sense of who I was,' she said. 'I felt I had nothing.' After the crash, she spent 4½ months in the hospital, much of it in a medically induced coma. According to her husband, the doctors didn't think that she would make it. Toward the end of her hospital stay, Christian brought the kids to see their mom for the first time since the crash. 'They came in expecting to see me,' she said. 'They didn't recognize me with all the burns and scars. When I called them over for a hug, they were afraid. It was awful.' After the kids left, she recalls breaking down, 'I literally felt my heart breaking. I wanted to die. I couldn't see all I had to live for.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'I have had to adapt a few of my mothering skills to accommodate this new body of mine,' she told PEOPLE at the time. 'Bathing Charlotte has been hard with my stiff burned hands, burping her over my shoulder is sometimes difficult with the scarring on my neck, and kissing her is different with my tender lips. But it's all the same – beautiful.' She said that the opportunity to kiss her daughter at all had been a miracle and a gift. 'I'm alive,' Stephanie added. 'I'm able to enjoy my children. I have everything.' Read the original article on People
