'Starstruck' Season 3 Will Premiere on Max In September
Romantic comedy Starstruck will officially return for its third season this Fall, but if the trailer is anything to go by, it likely won't be quite what viewers are expecting. Because things appear to be messier than ever for the will they/won't they pair at the series' center --- who, at least for the moment, no longer seem to be a couple at all.
The story follows underachieving millennial Jessie (Rose Matafeo) whose life is turned upside down when a handsome bar hookup turns out to be a world-famous actor. Over the course of the series' first two seasons, Jessie and Tom (Nikesh Patel) struggle to figure out whether there's more to their connection than a casual hookup and then to navigate the unique complexities of their vastly different life experiences.
Starstruck's second season ended with the two reuniting in true grand romantic comedy fashion, involving both jumping into a pond and sharing a dramatic kiss in the middle of a friend's bachelor party. But as Season 3 opens, happily ever after seems to have come with an expiration date.
