At the end of Starstruck‘s first season, Jessie (Rose Matafeo) made a massive decision by … doing nothing. More specifically, she chose not to get off the bus to the airport, which meant she missed her flight home. Instead, she kissed Tom (Nikesh Patel), the man she’d been running into (and sort of seeing) on and off for the past year.
“We ended it on the classic rom-com high,” series creator and star Rose Matafeo tells EW. Now, in season 2, we’ll watch how Tom and Jessie handle the early stages of a relationship, which are arguably even more awkward than the dating stage. “In the same way that series 1 was them coming in and out of each other’s lives, this is them mashed together and exploring all those really minor — but huge when you’re in it — miscommunications and insecurities,” Matafeo says.
