A seminal one-hour drama series, "Dawson's Creek" has chronicled with wry humor the undeniably intense period of awakening known as the teenage years. A startlingly fresh and realistic portrayal of this passage from adolescence to young adulthood, "Dawson's Creek" now begins its sixth season. Many of the questions that began the series will be answered in unexpected ways.
Last season saw Dawson (James Van Der Beek, "Varsity Blues"), Joey (Katie Holmes, "The Gift," "Wonder Boys"), Pacey (Joshua Jackson, "The Skulls"), Jen (Michelle Williams, "Me Without You," "Dick") and Jack (Kerr Smith, "Final Destination") leaving their small town cocoon and heading into the unknown. Each young adult struggled to find his or her place in a world where dreams don't always match up with reality. Still contemplating his last kiss with his lifelong friend and confidante Joey, Dawson followed his Hollywood dream and embarked on his USC program with an internship in the film industry. The unexpected death of his father changed Dawson's plans, and he found himself moving to Boston and producing a student film. Joey enrolled at Worthington College in Boston and tackled the challenges of living up to her own academic expectations, a new roommate and a life without her best friend.
This season, Joey and Dawson will take their relationship further than ever before, though they will soon be torn apart again and Joey will find an exciting new love interest. Dawson will pursue a career in the film industry, and begin to work on a low-budget film project with echoes of his life in Capeside. He will also find himself involved with a Hollywood starlet.
While his friends were all in college classes and co-ed dorms, Pacey found work as a chef in a Boston restaurant and contemplated his uncertain future. Eager to move on with his own love life, Pacey fell for a Joey's roommate, Audrey (new series regular Busy Phillips, "Freaks and Geeks"). With a newfound confidence that he actually might find something he's good at, Pacey will soon embark on a lucrative new career that comes as a surprise to everyone - including Pacey himself.
Jen and Jack also relocated to Boston last season, where they bunked with Jen's grandmother, Grams (Mary Beth Piel, "The King and I" on Broadway), who packed up her life in Capeside and moved to the big city. Grams and her weekly Sunday night dinners provide the stability of some semblance of home and family to the group. This season, Jen will need some stability as she deals with her parents' impending divorce, and Jack will face sexual harassment from a professor.Guest stars this season will include Oliver Hudson ("My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star") and Bianca Kajlich ("Boston Public").
Filmed on location in Wilmington, Durham and Raleigh, North Carolina, "Dawson's Creek" was created by Kevin Williamson and is executive produced by Paul Stupin, Tom Kapinos and Greg Prange for Sony PicturesTelevision Inc.
