During the ’90s and 2000s, teen dramas became the bread and butter for TV networks, with massively popular hits like Beverly Hills, 90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The O.C., and My So-Called Life taking audiences by storm with their complex characters and captivating storylines. In 1998, director, producer, and writer Kevin Williamson was basking in the success of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer (whose screenplays he penned) and decided to set his sights on tackling the small screen with the beloved hit Dawson’s Creek.
