A season-by-season deep dive into Dawson’s Creek, “one of the biggest teen dramas of all time,” (Variety) full of never-before-heard stories and behind-the-scenes insight into fan-favorite characters, from one of the show’s stars, Kerr Smith. 

Welcome back to Dawson’s Creek, where the banter is fast-paced, soulful pop music underscores all emotional moments, and friendships could always turn into something more. This nostalgic look back at one of the hottest, most paradigm-shifting shows – written by one of its stars – will transport fans right back to Capeside, MA, revealing all the fun, romances, friendships, and drama, that happened in that small town – on and off the screen.
 
From episode deep dives to never-before-heard stories of crazy days on set and crazier nights after filming wrapped, Dawson’s star Kerr Smith takes us behind the scenes of the classic show that kickstarted the teen TV revolution of the late 90s and early 2000s. Featuring interviews with his fellow cast members, crew, and the writing team, Kerr Smith has written the ultimate yearbook for Capeside High, revealing the origin stories of Dawson, Pacey, Joey, Jen, and others, insights on how the drama-filled storylines came to be – and a few that almost didn’t – and his own personal story, from growing up in a small town of his own to what it was like to be part of the first passionate gay kiss on American primetime.
 
I DON’T WANT TO WAIT is the ultimate chronicle of a show that fans can’t help but come back to, time and time again. In Joey’s words, “Things change. People change.” But Dawson’s Creek is forever.
