Is Starstruck Season 3 Happening?

Good news! Starstruck season 3 is well on its way. Yes, you read that right. Season 3 is happening. While most of you are already aware, for those who are unaware, the series was renewed in June 2022, with Matafeo saying in a statement: “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.”

Gregor Sharp from BBC Comedy Commissioning added: “Starstruck is a blast of fresh comedy air, perfectly capturing the emotional mayhem of a new relationship with sharp wit, dry humour and a truthful eye – we can’t wait to see what Rose and the team have in store for Jessie and Tom in the new series.”

Starstruck Season 3 Release Date

The third season will drop on BBC iPlayer on Monday, August 28, 2023.

Season 3 will air in weekly double bills from 10 pm on Aug 28, 2023, on BBC Three. A BBC One run will follow, starting from 10pm on Friday, 1st September.

In the United States, the entirety of its six-episode third season will release on Max on Thursday, Sep 28, 2023.

What will Starstruck Season 3 be about?

The two leads in Starstruck season 2 made a touching confession of love towards the show’s conclusion. Although the moment gave viewers optimism that a romance would be further explored, it is apparent that Jessie and Tom split up before the events of season 3, which picks up years after their breakup.

Set two years on from the season 2 ending, season 3 will follow Jessie as she navigates single life in London, having parted ways with film star Tom.

The official logline for Starstruck Season 3 reads: “Still living in London and working at the local cinema, Jessie (Matafeo) explores a new single life after parting ways with film star Tom (Patel). Two years after the breakup, Jessie navigates the pressures of adulthood and is confronted with the consequences of her own choices as her friends move on to the next stages in their lives, while Jessie is left questioning what she is really looking for.”

Rose Matafeo returns to reprise her role as Jessie, while Nikesh Patel is also returning as Tom. In addition, Minnie Driver will also reprise her role as Tom’s agent Cath, while Nic Sampson will also be back as Steve, and Emma Sidi as Kate. New additions include John Simm who has joined the cast in a new role.

Is there any trailer?
