Did Prime Video Renew ‘Off Campus’ for a Season 2?
A renewal before episode 1 even drops? Prime Video is clearly counting on Kennedy’s rabid BookTok fanbase to show up — and Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios, made the case in a statement.
“Off Campus captures the kind of emotionally charged, character-driven storytelling that truly resonates with our global Prime Video audience,” Friedlander said. “With its passionate fan base, rich source material, and an incredible creative team bringing Briar U to life, we knew that this series had the depth and momentum to continue beyond its first season.”
Are Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli Returning for ‘Off Campus’ Season 2?
Here’s the thing about Kennedy’s Off Campus book series: it spans four novels, and each one focuses in on a different couple in the Briar University hockey universe. So when Prime Video announced a season 2 renewal, fans had every right to panic that Bright’s Hannah Wells and Cameli’s Garrett Graham — the songwriter and hockey captain anchoring season 1 — might get benched.
“I totally understand your concern,” Cameli told Us Weekly exclusively about the rotating-couple format. “We will be along for the ride the whole time.”
Bright agreed, confirming the plan is for them to be “sticking” around. “We’re excited to see what season 2 holds for [us],” Cameli added.
Inside Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli’s Real-Life Friendship
The chemistry isn’t an act, by the way. Bright and Cameli told Us their real-life friendship is doing some heavy lifting onscreen — and they’re well aware of how lucky that makes them.
“Doing a job like this would be so miserable if you didn’t like your costar. We are so lucky,” Cameli told Us. “Ella and I are really, really good friends. We get along so well and we spend a ton of time together on set.”
Bright agreed that the vibes are immaculate.
“Honestly, we just have so much fun. It’s so cool to be able to go on this journey with everybody who just cares so much about this show and these characters,” she added. “Everyone is here for the same reason. It definitely loosens the pressure a lot, because you’re sharing it with all these really great and talented people.”
‘Off Campus’ Cast Defends Biggest — and Most Controversial — Book Changes
Josh Heuston’s Justin Is Sitting Season 2 Out
Not everyone’s making the trip to season 2, though. Creator Louisa Levy confirmed to TV Guide in May 2026 that Heuston’s character, Justin, won’t be back next season — but a return might be in his future.
“Not next season, but I love Josh and I would not write him off if I can find a way to bring Justin back at some point,” Levy said. “We never got a chance to meet Stella, who is the person he ends up with in the book. So maybe we’ll find a way to fold him into a future season.”
She added of Heuston’s exit: “We don’t have him [available] next season, but never say never.”
Which ‘Off Campus’ Couple Could Season 2 Be Focused On?
Fans hunting for clues about season 2’s central pairing have Kennedy’s book order to work with. The Deal powers season 1. The Mistake follows John Logan trying to win back Grace Ivers — played by already-cast India Fowler. The Score delivers Allie Hayes and Dean Di Laurentis, while The Goal closes things out with John Tucker and Sabrina James.
Fowler’s casting has fans betting on The Mistake — but nothing’s official yet.
Off Campus is streaming now on Prime Video.
