DAWSON'S CREEK (1998) Cast Then and Now | 28 Years Later

Dawson's Creek cast then and now in 2026 — revisit James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams, Busy Philipps, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe and the faces of Capeside, 28 years later. Four friends growing up in the small town of Capeside, Joey climbing the ladder to Dawson's window, the endless triangle between Dawson, Joey and Pacey, Jen arriving from New York and the theme song "I Don't Want to Wait". Return to the teen drama that defined the late 1990s and rediscover the faces behind it — from Dawson Leery, Joey Potter, Pacey Witter and Jen Lindley to Jack and Andie McPhee, Audrey, Bessie, Gail and Mitch Leery, Gretchen and Doug Witter, with Seth Rogen, Michael Pitt, Jensen Ackles and Chad Michael Murray along the way. This retrospective brings every character together with the performer who played them across the years, and honors those who are no longer with us, including James Van Der Beek and Obi Ndefo.
