‘Dawson's Creek' Reunion: News, Cast, Premiere Date, Tickets
The news was confirmed after several cast members—including James Van Der Beek and Busy Phillips—posted a teaser image on Instagram. The teaser post features a polaroid of the core four cast—James, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams—on an orange background with the quote, 'If we were truly meant to be, then we'll find a way back to each other.'
Not long after James' original post, the reunion was officially confirmed, and it sounds like something true fans don't want to miss. Here's everything we know:
The reunion event is doubling as a charity event to support F Cancer, as well as James himself, who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year. Taking place at the Richard Rogers Theater on Broadway, the 'Class Reunion' will be a live reading of the Dawson's Creek pilot, as directed by Jason Moore, who directed three episodes of the show back in the early aughts.
The live reading will also be produced by Carl Ogawa, Maggie Brohn, series creator Kevin Williamson and writer Greg Berlanti, as well as Michelle Williams and her husband, Thomas Kail.
'We grew up in Capeside and that's a bond that will last a lifetime,' Michelle said in a statement, per Variety. 'We wanted to gather around our dear friend James and remind him that we are all here. We always have been and we always will be. And I know the fans of Dawson's Creek feel the same way.'
James, Michelle, Katie, Joshua, and Busy are all set to attend and reprise their roles in the live reading. Meanwhile, Busy, Kerr Smith, and Meredith Monroe (all of whom did not appear in the pilot) will read various parts. The full cast list is as follows:
Tickets to the live reading go on sale Friday, August 22, at 10 a.m. PT (that's 1 p.m. ET) on Broadway Direct.

Ilona Maher wants America to fall in love with rugby during Women's World Cup
SUNDERLAND, England (AP) — Ilona Maher's mission at the Women's Rugby World Cup is about more than just winning games. Heading into the United States' tournament opener on Friday, the world's most followed rugby player on social media wants to get more eyeballs on the sport as it ramps up attempts to crack the market in America. 'Not many people know that there's a Women's Rugby World Cup going on, so we try to get as many people as we can to spread that knowledge,' Maher said ahead of the match against host England in the World Cup curtain-raiser in Sunderland. 'We want the fans in America to see us play here because we've got a World Cup there in eight years and we need to start building for that.' Rugby authorities see America as a vital new market for the sport. The United States will stage the men's Rugby World Cup in 2031 and the women's tournament in 2033. The presence of Maher is key to attracting attention on rugby in the U.S., given she has 5.2 million followers on Instagram and 3.6 million on TikTok — platforms on which she promotes body positivity. The 29-year-old Vermont native believes she and her teammates are 'changing the game on and off the field a lot.' 'This is a time where women's rugby is in a state where it could grow massively,' she said, 'and I do believe this team is at the forefront with how we present ourselves and people's perception of us.' Maher certainly stands out, having been named as the best breakthrough athlete at the ESPYs last month. In an interview with the BBC ahead of the World Cup, she said she has been approached by the WWE — joking that her ring name would be 'Maher-vellous' if she ever became a wrestler — and that she'd love to get into acting. First, though, she wants to deliver at the World Cup, starting with the match in front of 40,000 spectators against England, the tournament favorite, in the north of the country. A star in rugby sevens, in which she won a bronze medal with the U.S. team at the Paris Olympics last year, Maher also had a three-month stint at English club Bristol in the 15 players-a-team format at the start of 2025. 'I think it's so cool,' Maher said, 'that we're up here, so far away from maybe where rugby union is big, and yet we're getting 40,000 people out to a game.' The Americans also will play Australia and Samoa in Pool A at the World Cup. ___ AP rugby:

[WATCH] Video of Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda's heated argument from The Great Indian Kapil Show goes viral
By News Desk Published on August 21, 2025, 15:16 IST Last updated August 21, 2025, 15:18 IST The Great Indian Kapil Show is once again making headlines, but this time not because of Kapil Sharma himself. Instead, a video of comedians Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda engaged in a heated argument on the sets of the show has gone viral on social media, leaving fans shocked. In the viral video, both actors can be seen exchanging sharp words during what appears to be a disagreement over shooting schedules. At one point, Kiku Sharda is heard saying, 'Am I just doing timepass here?' (translated) to which Krushna Abhishek, visibly upset, replies, 'Alright then, you do it. I have no problem.' (translated) He even folds his hands and adds sarcastically, 'Brother, I don't mind at all, you carry on. I am leaving.' (translated) As the argument continues, people on the set are seen trying to calm Krushna down. Kiku then says, 'That's not the point. If I was called, let me finish first.' (translated) Krushna responds by saying, 'Brother, I love you. I respect you. I don't want to raise my voice.' (translated) Kiku, however, insists, 'It's not about raising your voice, you are taking it in a different way.' (translated) View this post on Instagram A post shared by RVCJ Movies (@rvcjmovies) The video has sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans debating whether the confrontation was real or just a prank. So far, neither Krushna Abhishek nor Kiku Sharda has issued any clarification. It also remains unclear whether this clash was part of the show's script or a genuine fallout between the two comedians. Both comedians are regular performers on The Great Indian Kapil Show, and their chemistry on stage has long been a highlight for viewers. Fans admire the duo for their impeccable comic timing and hilarious acts, which often leave audiences in splits. This latest clash has therefore left many wondering about the true nature of their viral spat. Ahmedabad Plane Crash News desk at

Why is everyone watching ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty'?
Last week, Malala Yousafzai posted to Instagram a photograph of herself holding a plump peach. The image is charming yet unexceptional, simply capturing the Nobel Peace Prize laureate enjoying some seasonal fruit. But paired with the caption 'Counting the minutes until Wednesday,' it set the comments section ablaze. Her followers turned to capital letters and crying emoji to express their excitement. 'Malala always on the right side of history i know that's right!' reads one response.
