Beloved 'Dawson's Creek' Star Just Joined Jon Hamm's Hit Drama Series Ahead of Season 3
Joshua Jackson is moving to a new neighborhood.
The Dawson's Creek alum has signed on for a major recurring role in Season 3 of Apple TV's Your Friends & Neighbors, the hit suburban drama led by Jon Hamm. The timing is pointed. Jackson's casting landed one day before the show's Season 2 finale, which drops Friday, June 5. Apple renewed the series for a third season before Season 2 even premiered, an early bet that has now paid off with a packed cast.
What We Know About Jackson's Role
Not much, by design. Character details are being kept under wraps. What is confirmed: Jackson joins as a recurring player, while Michelle Monaghan comes aboard as a new series regular. They are stepping into a cast that already includes Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn and James Marsden, who arrived in Season 2 as Andrew's wealthy new neighbor.
Created by Jonathan Tropper, Your Friends & Neighbors follows Andrew Cooper (Hamm), a hedge fund manager who starts stealing from the homes of his wealthy friends and neighbors after being fired. Season 3 finds Cooper doubling down on the scheme, until a new neighbor threatens to expose his secrets and put his family at risk.
What's Next for Joshua Jackson
Jackson has stayed busy since Dawson's Creek made him a household name, with recent runs on The Affair and Doctor Odyssey. He next appears opposite Katie Holmes in the feature Happy Hours, premiering June 6 at the Tribeca Festival, and he is set to star in the HBO Max pilot How to Survive Without Me.
For fans who grew up on Pacey Witter, watching Jackson slip into one of TV's buzziest dramas is its own kind of reunion.
