“Off Campus,” Amazon Prime Video‘s popular new young adult romance series has set the central couple for its second season.
Season 2 will focus on Allie Hayes and Dean Di Laurentis, played by Mika Abdalla (“Sex Appeal,” “Snack Shack,” “The Pitt) and Stephen Kalyn (“Gen V,” “Motorheads,” “Cruel Intentions”), respectively.
The news won’t come as a surprise to fans of “Off Campus,” who saw Allie and Dean’s relationship kick off during Season 1. In an interview with Variety about the finale, series creator and Louisa Levy said that “all eight scripts [for Season 2] are written and we have a very exciting plan for the season. I don’t want to say anything yet — but I think book fans will be very excited,” and nodded when asked if Allie and Dean would be the leads.
Described by Amazon as a “college soap,” “Off Campus 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,” per the official logline. Season 1 focused on Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) and Garrett Graham (Belmont), who enter a fake romantic relationship but unexpectedly begin to fall for each other.
Along with Abdalla, Kalyn, Bright and Belmont, the Season 2 cast of “Off Campus” includes Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks and India Fowler, with Philipa Soo recurring.
Levi co-showruns “Off Campus” with Gina Fattore. Both serve as executive producers alongside Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and James Seidman for Temple Hill, Leanna Billings of Billings Productions and Neal Flaherty. The series is based on Elle Kennedy’s bestselling book series of the same name.
“We are so excited to continue Allie and Dean’s story as our primary romance of Season 2 after kickstarting their romance in Season 1,” series creator Louisa Levy said in a statement. “But if you fell in love with Hannah and Garrett, don’t worry — they will still be an integral part of our robust ensemble. We’re looking forward to telling the next chapter of everyone’s story. There’s a lot for fans to look forward to!”
