Throughout the acclaimed WB TV series, Katie played the Capeside High student. Over the course of its six seasons, 'Dawson's Creek' aired 128 episodes from January 1998 to May 2003. As the story progressed, Joey saw how she struggled with her complicated, changing feelings for Dawson as well as their shared buddy Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson). In advance of the broadcast of 'Alone Together', a romantic drama set during Covid-19 pandemic and directed by Holmes, on July 22, the actress talked openly about her experience filming the iconic show and her thoughts on whether she would appear on a reboot of 'Dawson's Creek'.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Holmes addressed whether she would return to the role of Joey Potter in a potential reboot or continuation. The actress stated that she would not want to star in a reboot, revealing that it had been discussed amongst the cast over recent years. During the interview, she said, "No. I'm so grateful for that experience. We've definitely talked about it over the years, but I feel like that show captured that time period and that time in all of our lives. So I think it's great that you are nostalgic for it. So am I. But it's like, do we want to see them not at that age? I don't know. I don't think. We all decided we don't actually." 

'Dawson's Creek' is probably one of the best series to have come out of the 90s. The show laid the groundwork that continues to inspire teen dramas to this day and has been revisited on Netflix, with the recent restoration of the show's iconic theme song, "I Don't Want To Wait" by Paula Cole.
