Starstruck

The Max Original romantic comedy series STARSTRUCK follows Jessie (Rose Matafeo), a millennial living in East London juggling two dead end jobs and navigating the awkward morning-after-the-night-before when she discovers the complications of accidentally sleeping with famous movie star Tom (Nikesh Patel). What she thought would become an amusing anecdote soon turns into something more, as the couple realize they can’t keep away from each other. The ensemble cast also includes Sindhu Vee, Emma Sidi, and  Minnie Driver (“Good Will Hunting”). STARSTRUCK has been hailed by Glamour magazine as “deeply funny” and Elle magazine as “electric” and is co-written by Matafeo and Alice Snedden. The series is produced by Avalon (“Breeders,” “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay,” “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver”) and is executive produced by Rose Matafeo, Jon Thoday, Richard Allen-Turner, and Rob Aslett. Toby Welch is series producer. Karen Maine (“Yes, God, Yes”) directed the six episode season.
