‘Off Campus’ Season 2 Will Officially Focus on Allie and Dean

Off Campus fans who can’t get the classic guitar riffs of Warrant’s “Cherry Pie” out of their heads finally have something new to fixate on. 

Social media accounts for the Amazon Prime series confirmed Thursday that Season Two of the hit hockey romance show will focus on characters Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn). 

Based on the The Deal, the 2015 book by Elle Kennedy, Off Campus follows a group of college hockey stars at the fictional Briar University and the women they fall in love with. Season One of Off Campus centers hockey captain Garret Graham (Belmont Cameli) and music major Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), who start a mutually beneficial fake-dating scheme that is quickly complicated by their growing feelings for each other. 

“We are so excited to continue Allie and Dean’s story as our primary romance of Season Two after kickstarting their romance in season one,” series creator Louisa Levy said in a press release. “But if you fell in love with Hannah and Garrett, don’t worry — they will still be an integral part of our robust ensemble.” 

The Season Two news comes just two weeks after the first season of Off Campus premiered on May 13. Off Campus is the third most-watched debut series for Amazon Prime per Variety, beating out the initial viewership for successful franchises like The Summer I Turned Pretty, We Were Liars, Reacher, and The Boys. The chemistry between Kalyn and Abdalla was such a fan-favorite moment of the series that the two were cast together in a separate digital drama Rent Free by audio erotica company Quinn. 

The announcement of Dean and Allie as the couple in Season Two is the latest example of Off Campus’ showrunner and development team making the show a distinct offering rather than a faithful blow-by-blow of the novels. In Kennedy’s original series, Dean and Allie’s love story happens in Book Three, The Score, after the follow-up book The Mistake, which tracks the grumpy sunshine romance of John Logan (Antonio Cipriano) and Grace Ivers (India Fowler). 

“We’re really excited about the book-favorite moments that we’re exploring in Season Two,” Levy told Rolling Stone in May. “But we want to leave something for the fans to discover.”
