Off Campus has already been renewed for season 2 — but which couple is leading the show after some big book changes?
Based on the Off Campus book series by Elle Kennedy, the show follows an elite ice hockey team — and the women in their lives — as they “grapple with love, heartbreak and self-discovery — forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood,” read the official synopsis.
Season 1 is centered around the “sexy and fun ‘opposites attract’ romance between quiet songwriter, Hannah and Briar University’s all-star hockey athlete, Garrett.” Going off Kennedy’s book order, Logan’s (Antonio Cipriano) story was expected to be next, then Dean’s (Stephen Kalyn) before Tucker’s (Jalen Thomas Brooks) turn.
The first season focused heavily on Dean and Allie — even devoting an entire episode to their story — which seemed to indicate they were the next possible leads despite them being featured in the third book in the series.
Which ‘Off Campus’ Stars Are — and Aren’t — Returning for Season 2?
“Since the cast was announced, I feel like there’s been theories circulating online, and it’s been really interesting to read it,” Abdalla told Us Weekly about Allie and Dean’s bond. “I for sure think people are going to be at least surprised.”
She continued: “Even though we do tease Dean and Ali a lot earlier than people expect, you are still left wanting a lot more. That’s something I’m really excited about too because I get it if I was on the other side of it.”
To push Allie and Dean’s story along, the show introduced Hunter Davenport despite him not being linked to Allie on the page.
“It was really important to have that scene to slow down what was happening between Allie and Dean. I want to see them kind of go. I want to see them really separate,” Abdalla hinted. “Allie just got out of a long-term relationship. She can’t do what she always does. … I really like the edition of the Hunter story line drama. They need to grow as individuals. And so I really want to see Ali and Dean grow separately in season 2.”

Before season 2, India Fowler was cast in season 2 as Grace a.k.a Logan’s future love interest. That got some questioning if Logan would in fact become the season 2 leads. Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli, meanwhile, revealed if they planned to return in future seasons.
“I totally understand your concern,” Cameli, 28, exclusively told Us about each season of the Prime Video show being focused on a different fictional couple. “We will be along for the ride the whole time.”
Bright, 19, confirmed the plan is for them to be “sticking” around before Cameli added, “We’re excited to see what season 2 holds for [us].”
Off Campus is streaming on Prime Video now.
