Watch: ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Getting Finale Movie on Amazon After Season 3
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Off Campus season one.
Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) and Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) may have found their happily ever after at Briar University, but who’s next?
Off Campusshowrunner Louisa Levy shared that Hannah’s best friend Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and hockey star Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) will be untangling their secret friends-with-benefits arrangement in the second season of the Prime Video series.
Along with a smile and a nod in an interview with Variety, confirming the upcoming installment’s leads, Levy explained why she began exploring Allie and Dean’s romance in season one—set around the book The Deal—rather than waiting.
“I wanted viewers to know who they were going to be tuning in for next,” she explained in the interview published after its May 13 premiere. “Allie felt so organic, because she’s Hannah’s best friend and Dean is already there, and their love story in the book is a secret—so why not let it be a surprise, even to book fans, when we’re going to launch it?”
“Some things had to work a little differently because of the timing and the way we platform them,” she continued, “but I promise all the fan-favorite things are still intended and planned. There’s still a lot of road with those two.”
Levy assured fans that additional changes—including shifting Allie and Dean’s love story to season two, despite their book The Score being the third in Elle Kennedy‘s series and adding Hunter Davenport (Charlie Evans) as an antagonist—were necessary.
“He also comes from the same world as Dean, which made his arrival feel organic,” she explained of Hunter, whom Allie has sex with before seeing the animosity between him and Dean in the finale. “We needed to throw a wrench into Dean and Allie’s arrangement to elongate their story, and pulling from that universe felt right.”

As for where production is for season two of Off Campus?
“All eight scripts are written and we have a very exciting plan for the season,” Levy confirmed to the outlet. “I don’t want to say anything yet—but I think book fans will be very excited.”
Meanwhile, Kennedy shared a glimpse into another romance blooming at Briar U in season two: John Logan (Antonio Cipriano) and Grace Ivers (India Fowler).
“I did get to see the chemistry tests with Antonio and India, who is cast as Grace, and they are spectacular together,” the author told E! News. “That’s what I’m probably most excited for.”

In fact, Kennedy revealed that Grace—whose relationship with Garrett’s best friend unfolds in the series’ second book The Mistake—is her favorite character.
“She rambles when she’s nervous and she’s just so random,” she reflected. “I’m really excited to see Grace onscreen. I think people will really resonate with her because she is just awkward. There are moments where, in the book, I was writing it and I was cringing, I’m like, ‘No, Grace, shut up!’ I’m very excited to see that.”
While Off Campus premieres to bring season two to life, keep reading for more binge-worthy book-to-screen adaptations.

Why We’re Excited: If it’s based on a book and Kidman stars in it, we will binge the s–t out of it.

William Morrow
Starring: Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole KidmanPremieres: April 15, 2026, on Apple TV
Why we’re Excited: Is it really a limited series if it doesn’t have Kidman popping up in it? Thorpe’s book—following the daughter of a former Hooters waitress and a onetime pro-wrestler who turns to OnlyFans after becoming a single mom at 20—is already excellent on its own. But this casting has certainly placed this eight-episode series at the top of the must-watch list.
