About Dawson's Creek

Dawson's Creek follows Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Jen in Capeside from high school into college. The show ran six seasons from 1998 to 2003 with 128 episodes, built on the Dawson Joey Pacey triangle and Jen growth. Season breaks track school years and Boston college.

The finale jumps five years to close each arc, so seasons five and six need the high school run behind them. There is no reboot or film to slot in. Watch seasons one through six in air order, since every pairing and breakup assumes the prior year.

Good to know

There is no separate chronological order, since the show runs straight from 1998 to the finale with one time jump at the end. Do not skip seasons, because Pacey Joey only lands after three years of Dawson Joey. The series finale wraps in two parts and needs the college seasons first. Start at season one for the cleanest read on Capeside rules.
