Behind the scenes of Capeside

Kerr Smith’s memoir revisits Dawson’s Creek through the perspective of one of its stars, combining his personal account with episode-focused discussion and interviews with cast members, crew, executives, creator Kevin Williamson, and the writing staff. The book looks at how familiar characters and storylines took shape, including ideas that nearly took a different direction, while also recounting Smith’s experience on set and his part in the show’s first gay kiss on American primetime. Its scope joins the making of a late-1990s and early-2000s teen drama with the personal history of an actor who was there.

Book overview

A deep dive into Dawson's Creek, one of the most popular teen dramas of all time, 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, a soulful, pop music soundtrack underscores every emotional moment, and friendships have the potential to turn on a dime and transform into something more. Written by one of its stars, this nostalgic trip down memory lane of the WB's paradigm-shifting show will transport fans back to Capeside, Massachusetts, revealing all the fun, romance, friendships, and drama that occurred--on screen and off--in that charming coastal place we know as Dawson's Creek.

From episode deep dives to wild 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, network and studio executives, creator Kevin Williamson and the writing staff, Smith has produced the ultimate yearbook for Capeside High, revealing the origin stories of Dawson, Pacey, Joey, Jen, and others; providing insights on how classic Dawson's storylines came to be--and how a few almost didn't--while telling his own personal story, from growing up in a small town of his own to what it was like to be part of that iconic first gay kiss on American primetime.?

I Don't Want to Wait is the ultimate chronicle of a show that fans can't help but return to, time and time again. As Joey Potter would tell you, "Things change. People change." But Dawson's Creek is forever.
