Prime Video's runaway streaming hit has maintained top ten status worldwide even six months after its debut. Coincidentally, it is also adapted from an eight-book series with two spin-off series, meaning that Prime might have a juggernaut on their hands with lots of material to work with.
Off Campus was created by Louisa Levy and adapted from the book series of the same name by Elle Kennedy. It stars Ella Bright, Anthony Cipriano, Stephen Thomas Kalyn, Mika Abdalla, Josh Heuston, and Belmont Cameli. Like the books on which it is based, the basic plot revolves around four couples who go to the fictional Briar University. Season one covers the romance of Hannah Wells (Bright) and Garrett Graham (Cameli), who fall for each other through fake-dating hijinks.
Off Campus was a hit from the start for Prime Video. During its first 12 days on the streaming platform, it amassed 36 million global viewers, putting it in the same conversation as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout. That debut becomes more impressive when factoring in its success within the 18 to 34-year-old female demographic, among which Off Campus holds the record for most watched debut.
Off Campus was also successful critically. Per Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds a 92% approval rate among critics and an 88% approval rate among audience members. Before the show even aired, Prime Video renewed it for a second season, signalling faith in its potential success.
Off Campus has potential for multiple more seasons based on its source material. Kennedy's Off Campus books span four primary novels, each of which covers a different romance within the Briar University friend group. A fifth book serves as a compilation of four novellas, with each one focusing on one couple from the prior books. For season two of the series, the show will be adapting book three, The Score, which tells the story of Allie Hayes (Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Kalyn).
Aside from the core Off Campus series, Kennedy also wrote two spin-off series, Briar U, consisting of four books, and Campus Diaries, consisting of five. With this in mind, Prime Video will have no shortage of material to pull from for future seasons of Off Campus.
Off Campus season one is now streaming on Prime Video, while season two will premiere on April 28, 2027.
