'Dawson's Creek' creator Kevin Williamson on possible reboot
Dawson may cry again. 'Dawson's Creek' aired on The WB from 1998 to 2003, created by Kevin Williamson – and in this age of endless spinoffs and reboots, it's possible that it could come back. 'Not in television form. I think there's other ways that [a 'Dawson's Creek' revival] can come to fruition,' Williamson, 60, exclusively told The Post. 'But I'm not so sure… I feel complete. I feel like we told the story.'

He added, 'I feel that's a box, and it's exactly where it should be.' 'Dawson's Creek' was set in the fictional town of Capeside, Mass. The cult classic ran for six seasons, following the lives of aspiring teenage filmmaker Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), his best friend Joey (Katie Holmes), his other underachiever friend, Pacey (Joshua Jackson), and the new girl from the big city, Jen (Michelle Williams). 9 James Van Der Beek in 'Dawson's Creek.'

'That cast was terrific. It's hard to stumble upon a cast like that.' Williamson, who is now working on the Netflix crime drama 'The Waterfront,' isn't opposed to the show getting another life. 'But I'm not so sure… I feel complete. I feel like we told the story,' he explained. 'If someone else comes along with a great idea and can just freshen it up and do something new to it… I mean, I'll be the first one there to watch it. But I don't think that probably it will be me.'

Joshua Jackson reveals where he stands with ‘Dawson's Creek' ex Katie Holmes
Back to Capeside. Joshua Jackson, who played Pacey Witter on the hit WB drama, shared insight into his friendship with co-star and former girlfriend Katie Holmes, who played his on-screen love interest, Joey Potter. 'Katie and I are very close,' the actor, 46, revealed while on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's 'Dinner's on Me' podcast on Tuesday. 8 Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Joshua Jackson on the 'Dinner's On Me' podcast. jessetyler/Instagram The exes dated in real life from 1998 to 1999. Jackson went on to have daughter Juno with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith. Holmes was married to Tom Cruise for nearly six years; they welcomed daughter Suri Cruise, now 19, in 2006. Jackson is also still friends with Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley), Busy Philipps (Audrey Liddell) and James Van Der Beek (Dawson Leery). 'Busy and Michelle are very, very close,' Jackson went on. 'It's not a daily call. Sometimes it's not a weekly or monthly or even a half-yearly call, but when you're together — there's always that, 'I know, you know.'' 8 Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Joshua Jackson. jessetyler/Instagram The 'Doctor Odyssey' star is also rallying around Van Der Beek, 48, as he battles Stage 3 colorectal cancer. 'James is going through something really truly terrible right now,' Jackson explained. 'And I wish I could take credit for this, but I was kind of the absentee partner here, but the girls all got together and were like, 'We need to do something to help this guy out.'' After having been on one of the most popular teen drama's for six seasons from 1996 to 2003, the actor made it clear that the group is bonded for life. 8 Katie Holmes as Joey and Joshua Jackson as Pacey in 'Dawson's Creek.'

''Cause you had to go through good and bad and 'F–k you' and 'Don't talk to me,' and 'I love you.'' The 'Fatal Attraction' alum's comments come on the heels of Philipps, 45, teasing the possibility of a 'Dawson's Creek' reunion. 'We're really trying to figure something out, but there are a couple of people who have some work things that cannot be moved,' the actress told Us Weekly in March. 'It's like playing chess, trying to get everybody's schedules to align. I'm very hopeful that at some point we will.' 8 'Dawson's Creek' stars Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes in 2000. ©Columbia Tristar/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 'Dawson's Creek' cast: Michelle Williams, James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes. ©Columbia Tristar/Courtesy Everett Collection She added, 'Everybody is, and I'm so glad to see and hear from James — and I know he posted on Instagram that he's feeling well — and we just have all been really sending him every ounce of good wishes and prayers and hoping for the best.' That same month, Van Der Beek opened up about how the cast originally didn't stay in contact after the series ended. 'I've gotten in touch with them recently and it's just been so nice,' he shared while on Jana Kramer's 'Whine Down' podcast at the time. 8 Katie Holmes attends the 'Glengarry Glen Ross' Broadway opening night.

'It's just so lovely every time I get to catch up with one of them.' After the show ended, the cast went on to star in a slew of new projects, and didn't keep in close communication. 'We all went our separate ways and just didn't speak for years because we were just living our lives and doing our things,' Van Der Beek admitted. 'And to just kind of reconnect and be like, 'Oh, wow, I love who you've become.'' The cast reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in honor of its 20th anniversary in 2018. 8 The cast of 'Dawson's Creek.'

Van Der Beek was happy to move away from the show and pave his own career at first, but these days, he doesn't mind reminiscing. 'I have such a nostalgia for it,' he gushed. 'I don't know whether it's just time or what, but yeah.'
