Off Campus Cast: The Major Character Change Heading Into Season 2

Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli bring the electric, high-stakes romance of Briar University straight to the screen in Prime Video’s Off Campus. While romance book fans are heavily praising the flawless, high-chemistry casting of the central couple, Amazon MGM Studios has already introduced brand-new cast members who will completely alter the focus of the franchise moving forward.  

Off Campus Season 1 Cast

The debut season of the romantic drama features an ensemble cast led by Ella Bright as brilliant songwriter Hannah Wells and Belmont Cameli as elite college hockey captain Garrett Graham. The primary characters are directly supported by Mika Abdalla as Allie Hayes, Antonio Cipriano as John Logan, Jalen Thomas Brooks as John Tucker, and Stephen Kalyn as Dean Heyward-Di Laurentis, rounding out the core Briar U hockey and social circle.  

Full Plot Breakdown

The narrative framework of Off Campus Season 1 operates as a highly faithful, eight-episode adaptation of The Deal, the smash-hit first novel in Elle Kennedy’s bestselling book series. The story introduces Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), a complex, deeply musical college student who has been harboring a massive crush on a campus athlete named Justin Kohl (Josh Heuston).  

The Locker Room Locker Deal

Desperate to get Justin’s attention, Hannah reluctantly strikes an unexpected academic arrangement with Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), Briar University’s resident bad-boy hockey superstar. Garrett is currently facing academic probation due to a failing grade in a critical philosophy class, which threatens his professional athletic aspirations and his status with the team. Recognizing Hannah's academic brilliance, Garrett convinces her to act as his private tutor in exchange for a calculated social arrangement: he will pretend to date her publicly, boosting her social currency enough to make Justin jealous.  

When Fake Dating Turns Real

As the structured tutoring sessions progress, the strictly professional lines between the pair begin to blur significantly. Hannah and Garrett are forced to confront severe vulnerabilities from their respective pasts, building a raw emotional intimacy that catches both of them completely off guard. Meanwhile, the broader campus dynamic is anchored by Garrett's core friend group and teammates—including Logan, Tucker, and Dean—who navigate their own chaotic romantic entanglements and athletic pressures, building the foundational layout for the expanding franchise universe.  

Post-Credits Scene / What's Next for the Franchise

While Off Campus Season 1 does not feature a traditional post-credits scene, Amazon MGM Studios executed an incredibly rare pre-production move by officially renewing the television series for Season 2 well ahead of the premiere.  

Because the source material transitions through different couples with each book, the upcoming season will adapt Elle Kennedy's second novel, The Mistake. Creator and co-showrunner Louisa Levy has already confirmed a massive structural shift: Ella Bright's Hannah and Belmont Cameli's Garrett will step back from the main spotlight to allow John Logan (Antonio Cipriano) to take center stage.  

The production house has officially added India Fowler (The Nevers) to the Season 2 roster as a series regular to play Logan's primary love interest, Grace Ivers. Additionally, Hamilton star Phillipa Soo has joined the upcoming season in a major recurring capacity, proving that Amazon is aggressively building a long-term YA romance universe.
