STARSTRUCK: FIRST LOOK AT SERIES TWO OF ROSE MATAFEO'S BBC THREE COMEDY

Series one was streamed almost 5 million times on BBC iPlayer, making it the channel’s biggest new comedy of 2021.

The critically-acclaimed international hit romcom Starstruck, created by, written by, and starring Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian Rose Matafeo, returns to our screens on the new BBC Three broadcast channel with its highly anticipated second series next month.
