Joshua Jackson's most iconic TV series is available to watch for free before Doctor Odyssey release

It's an exciting week for nineties heartthrob devotees, as Joshua Jackson is set to return to TV screens in brand new Disney+ series Doctor Odyssey in a matter of days.

But before that drops, fans of the star have the chance to rewatch the series that first propelled him to stardom and it's completely free.

Jackson won over hearts in his iconic role as Pacey Witter in Dawson's Creek and fans can now watch his breakout series in its entirety on ITVX. The show, which ran for six seasons, amassed a cult following due to its realistic depiction of teenage struggles. Set in Massachusetts, it explores the lives of a close-knit group dealing with friendship, love, homophobia, class differences and mental health issues.

During its five-year stint from 1998 to 2003, the show established its young cast as television stars. Jackson shared the screen with Katie Holmes, who played tomboy Joey Potter, Michelle Williams as the newcomer Jen Lindley, and James Van Der Beek as the eponymous character Dawson Leery.

The series was written by Kevin Williamson, the creative mind behind iconic shows like The Vampire Diaries, Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and it provided Jackson with his breakthrough role.

Jackson's character Pacey is portrayed as the group's joker, despite enduring a challenging home environment. He suffers verbal abuse from his parents and comes from a family with a history of alcoholism, reports the Daily Record.

Despite these hardships, he captivated audiences with his romantic nature. The show positioned Jackson's character at the centre of a love triangle involving Dawson, Joey and Pacey, a storyline that continues to spark debates among fans, even 26 years after the show first aired.
