Starstruck 25/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Either that, or they finally realize that their relationship will never work in the end, because of all their differences.The fantasy of dating a movie star has a certain appeal, but what would it really be like? The romantic comedy series "Starstruck" focuses on this very question. Jessie and Tom have been through so much already, and have broken up so many times, we almost need a permanent commitment from them both, so we know they'll be okay. Though there's something to be said for ambiguous endings, Starstruck is the kind of series we need to know a definite ending. Other successful British comedies like Fleabaghave had two seasons and been done, and in an interview with Radio Times, Matafeo did say, "I always thought two and out it’s the British way." But she does seem open to the possibility of a third season. Perhaps they're okay with saying the "L" word and then continuing on living separate lives. Fans would probably be thrilled to find out how Jessie and Tom navigate a long-distance relationship - or if they even try to. There has been no word on a Season 3, but it's easy to see how it could play out. Jessie has no plans to leave London anytime soon, so was this actually a happy ending after all? But, Tom has committed to film a movie for eight months in Atlanta, and said earlier in the episode that he would be leaving the next week. Zoom out, fountain erupts as they kiss, happy ending. Although Tom apologizes for the kiss, because he's just that kind of sweet, adorable guy, Jessie still thankfully ends things with Ben. ![]() ![]() ![]() And then she finally realizes that she shouldn't be with Ben, either. The laser tag incident proves that right away, as after Tom "shoots" Jessie as part of the game, they share a brief, but powerful, kiss. They maintain that they'd like to be friends, but we all know they want more than that, right? Throughout the day, through laser tag and karaoke and finally, a boat trip across a pond, Tom and Jessie manage to have a couple of conversations, and it's clear that neither of them really wanted to break up with the other. Ben is also there, as he's Steve's best man.Īwkwardness, and Jessie's realization that she made a mistake by breaking up with Tom, ensues. Steve has planned an all-day affair, and upon arriving to the first stop, a miniature golf game, Jessie finds that he's invited Tom to join in the festivities. In the meantime, Jessie's friends, Steve ( Nic Sampson) and Sarah ( Lola-Rose Maxwell), have become engaged, and the season finale focuses almost entirely on their joint hen/stag party. By the time we get to Episode 6, the season finale, Jessie and Tom have been broken up for three months, and she and Ben are seeing each other again. They break up, and no amount of screaming "nooooo!" at the TV screen will stop them from doing so. The two rekindle something, which Jessie seems to think is friendship and Ben knows all along is his master plan of winning her back.īefore long, Ben's plan succeeds, and he tears Tom and Jessie apart. But the ultimate test comes when Jessie sees her ex-boyfriend, Ben ( Edward Easton), at his nan's funeral. Jessie and Tom face their first major hurdle when Tom, for reasons known only to Tom, purchases a ticket to New Zealand for Jessie "just in case" and "as a joke." After this ripple, which Jessie quickly forgives him for, the two settle in for a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship that has its ups and downs, such as Tom's family and colleagues saying Jessie "must have a great personality" because they're used to him dating fellow actors and models. ![]()
