Trailer for Starstruck series 3

Rose Matafeo's romcom returns


BBC Three has released the trailer for the third series of Rosie Matafeo's romcom Starstruck.

The series returns next Monday, picking up two years after the last, with the comedian's character, Jessie, bumping into her Hollywood star ex Tom (Nikesh Patel) at a wedding.

She's still living in London, working at the local cinema but  left questioning where life will take her next as her friends move onto the next stages of their lives from marriage to parenthood. 

The cast also includes Emma Sidi, Joe Barnes and  Minnie Driver, reprising her role as Tom’s agent Cath. 

Matafeo wrote the new season with Alice Snedden and Nic Sampson, while Matafeo and Snedden also make their directorial debuts.

When the series was renewed last year, the comedian said: 'A third? Sure. Fine. I’m truly thrilled to bring this incredibly talented cast back for a third instalment, and equally excited to clamber into the director’s seat alongside my nice friend Alice Snedden who I cannot seem to get rid of.'
