Kiwi comedian Rose Matafeo will write and star in a six-part comedy series jointly produced by USA's HBO Max and the UK's BBC Three.
According to Deadline, the networks have ordered a comedy titled Starstruck from Matafeo, who won the 2018 Edinburgh Comedy Award and has starred in Funny Girls and the upcoming Kiwi comedy Baby Done.
Starstruck, produced by Last Week Tonight With John Oliver and Avalon Television (Catastrophe), will follow 20-something Rose (played by Matafeo), a millennial living in London, juggling two jobs and navigating the fallout from accidentally sleeping with a movie star.
BBC Three is the home of shows like Fleabag, Back To Life and People Just Do Nothing, while the new streaming service HBO Max has picked up the rights to British shows such as Doctor Who and Luther.
