Joshua sported a pair of blue jeans, a black T-shirt, and a green jacket, along with a cross-body bag and black shoes, as he smiled at his longtime friend. Happy Hours will be the first of three films directed by Katie, and will also star Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu and Joe Tippett.
According to Deadline, "Happy Hours is described as a story about two navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life's inevitable obstacles."

The film will mark the first time that the mother of one and her former co-star have acted together since the smash-hit CW show that rocketed them to fame.
Dawson's Creek ran for six seasons from 1998 until 2003, and made stars out of Katie, Joshua, and their friends James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips.
"I am so very grateful to be working again with so many of my wonderful friends on this film HAPPY HOURS," the actress wrote on Instagram. "And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship. HAPPY HOURS is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make."
Her fans couldn't contain their excitement, with one writing in the comment section, "Elder Millennial minds are exploding right now," while another added, Joey and Pacey Forever," in all-caps.
"Oh my god yes!!!!!! Joey and Pacey for life!!!!!!!" wrote another, while a fourth declared it "the reunion we've all been waiting for".

Joshua shared on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's on Me podcast in April that they have kept in touch and still share a close friendship more than two decades later.
"Katie and I are very close," he said. "Busy and Michelle are very, very close."

As for whether the crew will ever get together for a Dawson's Creek reunion, Busy told Us Weekly in March that they were trying to make it happen.
"We're really trying to figure something out, but there are a couple of people who have some work things that cannot be moved," she told the outlet. "It's like playing chess, trying to get everybody's schedules to align. I'm very hopeful that at some point we will."
