Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are reuniting to star, write and direct the Happy Hours film trilogy

Here’s everything we know so far about Happy Hours.

Happy Hours plot

Per Deadline, the plot of Happy Hours 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.

“It’s a character-driven dramedy that explores the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss, and hope.”
