Katie Holmes is set to write, direct and star in the character-driven dramedy "Happy Hours", a new film trilogy produced by Maven Screen Media and Bond Street Station, in association with Crown Productions and STX Films. Holmes will reunite with her "Dawson's Creek" co-star Joshua Jackson. Production on the first film is underway in New York City, and will be immediately followed by the second and third installments.
"Happy Hours" explores the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss, and hope. It has been described as a story about two people (Jackson and Holmes) navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life’s inevitable obstacles.
The cast also includes Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin.
Celine Rattray and Trudie Styler produce for Maven Screen Media, alongside Peter Coleman and Paula P. Manzanedo for Bond Street Station. Annie Herndon will oversee for STX Films, with Jenny Halper, Sophia Pedlow and Jackie Donohoe overseeing for Maven.
