The first season of Off Campus is focused on Hannah and Garrett’s love story — but will Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli return for future seasons of the show?
“I totally understand your concern,” Cameli, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly 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 confirmed the plan is for them to be “sticking” around before Cameli, 19, added, “We’re excited to see what season 2 holds for [us].”
Based on the Off Campus book series by Elle Kennedy, the show, which premieres Wednesday, May 13, 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.”
For Bright and Cameli, the experience of introducing the Off Campus universe was made easier because of their quick offscreen friendship.
“Doing a job like this would be so miserable if you didn’t like your costar,” Cameli shared. “We are so lucky. Ella and I are really, really good friends. We get along so well and we spend a ton of time together on set.”
Bright was just as grateful to have Cameli as her onscreen partner in crime.
Prime Video is investing in love with a wide variety of steamy rom-coms, star-studded TV shows coming this year— and a fan event to celebrate the upcoming YA titles. The streaming service announced on Thursday, April 30, that Prime Video was branching out with Obsessed Fest, which is described as “an inaugural summer tentpole event […]
“Honestly, we just have so much fun. It’s so cool to be able to go on this journey with everybody who just cares so much about this show and these characters,” she gushed to Us. “Everyone is here for the same reason. It definitely loosens the pressure a lot, because you’re sharing it with all these really great and talented people.”
Cameli pointed out that he and Bright have a seamless bond. “We just told you, that our faces literally hurt right now. We just sat here unmoving and laughing all day,” he noted.
While season 1 will make fans fall in love with Hannah and Garrett’s story, the show introduces characters played by Mika Abdalla, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Josh Heuston and Stephen Kalyn as well.
Prime Video has already been renewed for another season — but the next leads have yet to be confirmed.
Off Campus premieres on Prime Video Wednesday, May 13.
