The Cast Members of Dawson's Creek Look So Different Now Than They Did Making the Series

It's been more than 17 years since Dawson's Creek ended on The WB, which the kids today know as The CW, but it's one of those teen dramas that's impossible to quit—and it just may be about to have a renaissance. Some of us (okay, me) were too young to watch Dawson's Creek when it aired the first time, but the series has lived on in the years since via DVD and streaming, and as of November 1, it's officially back on Netflix in full, even if the original Paula Cole theme song won't be playing at the beginning of each episode.

A lot has changed since Dawson's Creek signed off for the final episode in 2003. Some mega stars have been made from the series, like Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams, and the iPhone has been invented, along with a few other significant developments in society.

And of course, the cast themselves has changed, too, because two decades are a long time, after all.Before you begin your Dawson's Creek marathon, here's how the cast has changed since the series originally aired.
