Off Campus Season 2: Cast, Leads, Filming, and Everything to Know About Prime Video’s New NA Series
Prime Video’s new hockey romance series Off Campus has arrived, bringing Elle Kennedy’s bestselling Briar U novels to the screen and quickly expanding the fan base for the franchise. Described by Prime Video as a “college soap,” the series follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives as they navigate love, heartbreak, self-discovery, friendship, and the challenges of becoming adults. While the show is inspired by Kennedy’s popular book series, it is not a scene-for-scene adaptation. According to show developer Louisa Levy, the production searched for as many Easter eggs and recognizable moments from the books as possible, but some events were reordered or reimagined for television.
Season one premiered globally on May 13, 2026, and spans eight episodes. The first season centers on the relationship between songwriter Hannah Wells, played by Ella Bright, and Garrett Graham, played by Belmont Cameli, the captain and star player of the Briar University Hawks hockey team. Their storyline is built around an “opposites attract” dynamic and adapts Kennedy’s 2015 novel The Deal. Alongside the central romance, the season introduces viewers to the broader Briar U world, including the team’s friendships, rivalries, and personal struggles, with enough twists to keep both longtime readers and new viewers engaged.
The series entered release with an established following already in place, thanks to the popularity of Kennedy’s books and the anticipation generated before the show’s debut. That built-in audience helped position Off Campus as one of Prime Video’s most talked-about young adult romance titles. The response to season one is expected to further raise the profile of the series as it reaches viewers beyond the existing fandom.
Prime Video had already confirmed the show’s future before the first season premiered. In February 2026, the streamer renewed Off Campus for a second season, signaling confidence in the adaptation’s potential. The renewal announcement came through a video in which the crew surprised the cast with the news. That early pickup means fans do not have to wait for a performance-based decision to learn whether the story continues.
With season one now available, attention is already turning to what comes next. The first season laid the groundwork for the larger Off Campus universe and introduced the characters and relationships that will likely continue to drive the series. For book fans, the adaptation also offers the appeal of spotting familiar moments from the novels even when they appear in a different order or context. For new viewers, it provides a college-set romance drama centered on sports, ambition, and emotional growth.
As a result, Off Campus is positioned as both an adaptation for existing readers and an entry point for audiences discovering Elle Kennedy’s world for the first time. The early renewal suggests Prime Video sees the franchise as a long-term bet, and season one’s combination of romance, team dynamics, and campus drama has set the stage for more stories from Briar University.
