#Starstruck tv show movie#

Starstruck runs the whole uncharted dating gamut: surviving the pressure of your first holiday season, discrepancies in gifting quality, sending awkward voice notes, engaging in thesaurus-reliant phone sex, meeting family members, snowballing into high-drama moments on New Year's Eve, and (most predominantly in this season) navigating exes. Matafeo and Patel triumphantly return as Jessie and Tom, wielding their charmingly awkward chemistry and seemingly effortless flirtation in order to tackle new relationship challenges beyond the 'what is this?' conversation. With the pair of them sitting at the back of the bus en route to Charing Cross, we had so many questions: Would Jessie leave London to go home to family in New Zealand? Would Tom take the big role and head to Ireland?

When we last left Jessie (Matafeo) and Tom (Nikesh Patel), they’d been through the horrendously awkward and wonderful clusterfuck that is falling for someone new - especially complicated when one of you is a famous movie star.

Co-written by Matafeo, Alice Snedden, and Nic Sampson, and directed by Dead Pixels' Jamie Jay Johnson, Season 2 is streaming on BBC iPlayer in the UK, HBO Max in the U.S., ABC in Australia, and TVNZ in New Zealand. It was hands down one of the best TV shows of 2021 (opens in a new tab). That's where things pick up in the second season of Starstruck, the romantic comedy series created by and starring comedian Rose Matafeo that stole our hearts by bringing a new millennial twist to Notting Hill. What happens after a grand romantic gesture? After the big finale, now what? Do you sit in silence like the dentist's aquarium fish in Finding Nemo once they've rolled to oceanic freedom (stay with me) or do you fill that awkwardness with so many activities you'll never have to talk about what's next?
