An underemployed millennial living in East London crosses paths with a movie star in “Starstuck,” an HBO Max series from comedian Rose Matafeo. A new trailer for the comedy sees Jessie (Matafeo) shocked to discover that her hookup from the night before, Tom (Nikesh Patel), is on billboards and in multiplexes. In Jessie’s friend’s words, “Tom Kapoor is a famous actor, and you’re a little rat nobody.”

Jessie had no idea that Tom was a celebrity. After accepting that she’s “forever a stain on his sexual history” and she got an interesting anecdote out of the experience, Jessie is surprised to realize that their connection runs deeper. Unable to resist one another’s company, the unlikely pair start dating. “It’s like fan fiction but it’s real,” a friend teases.

“Funny Girls” and “Baby Done” are among Matafeo’s other credits. She wrote “Starstruck” with Alice Snedden (“Golden Boy”). The pair host “Boners of the Heart,” a podcast about their celebrity crushes.

“Starstruck” lands on HBO Max June 10. Karen Maine (“Yes, God, Yes”) directed the six-episode season.
