Prime Video has quietly launched a new romance series titled “Off Campus,” adapting the popular novels of Elle Kennedy. The show centers on the intertwined love lives of a college hockey team, offering a fresh spin on campus romance that diverges from the steamy rivalry of “Heated Rivalry.”
At the heart of the first season are captain Garrett Graham and Hannah Wells, portrayed by Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright. Their on‑screen chemistry is amplified by a two‑week hockey boot camp that the actors completed to perform their own skating sequences.
Training the Ice‑Ready Cast
The intensive training gave the cast a genuine feel for life on the ice, from mastering puck handling to navigating the fast‑paced drills that define collegiate play. Jalen Thomas Brooks, who appears as John Tucker, notes that the production leaned heavily on close‑up shots to capture the intensity of the sport.
Season two is already in the works, with Antonio Cipriano and India Fowler joining the roster. Creator Louisa Levy has expressed admiration for “Heated Rivalry,” citing its boundary‑pushing storytelling as inspiration, while Stephen Kalyn, known for his role as Dean Di Laurentis, praises the Canadian‑crafted series for its authentic production values.
Beyond the romance, the series taps into a broader appetite for sports‑driven narratives, suggesting that the world of college hockey could support multiple compelling storylines. As the streaming landscape evolves, “Off Campus” stands as a testament to the growing synergy between athletic competition and scripted drama.
