Starstruck, produced by Last Week Tonight With John Oliver and Avalon Television (Catastrophe), will follow 20-something Jessie (played by Matafeo), a millennial living in London, juggling two jobs and navigating the fallout from accidentally sleeping with a movie star.
Sky greenlights Greg Davies therapy comedy
Safe Space coming next year
Sky has commissioned a sitcom starring Greg Davies as a demotivated small-time therapist, following a successful pilot.
The comic also co-wrote the eight-part series, entitled Safe Space, which is set to air next year.
He previously said of the project: ‘We thought it d be an interesting starting point to have a psychotherapist who isn t as together as his patients might want him to be.
‘We have had some very interesting chats with psychotherapists. When they re anonymous… they re very candid about their job and about some of the people that they treat. It s a really fascinating world, I think.
