\n\tThe cast and creatives of Prime Video<\/a>\u2019s next YA offering, Off Campus<\/a>, gathered in Hollywood Wednesday night for the series premiere. <\/p>\n

\n\tBased on the Elle Kennedy books of the same name, the romance series follows \u201can elite ice hockey team, and the women in their lives, as they grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery \u2014 forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood,\u201d according to the show\u2019s synopsis. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe book series Off Campus, which begins with The Deal, follows a new-but-connected couple in each book. The show, which follows The Deal\u2019s storyline, plans to keep that model. \u201cBridgerton set that stage. I think they did it amazingly well. For the fans, giving each of the characters their proper time to shine and have their moment is really important,\u201d executive producer Leanna Billings told The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe fans of the books are so invested in each individual character, and the stories are so rich thanks to Elle, that it completely will be able to sustain their own season each,\u201d adds executive producer Neal Flaherty, teasing that season two, which was ordered by the streamer earlier in February, is on the way. \u201cI can\u2019t wait for the next one, which we\u2019re starting to film now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason one dives headfirst into the age-old romantic trope of fake dating with music student Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), who, in true hockey fashion, is often called Wellsy by her love interest, Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli). Graham is the son of a professional hockey legion captain of Briar University\u2019s hockey team.<\/p>\n

\n\tBright\u2019s character is a music student and has her own little musical moment in the show\u2019s first episode, which she teased ahead of the premiere Wednesday. \u201cThere is a really fun musical element in the first episode that I had the privilege of getting to perform in it. The song that I get to perform was my manifestation song for the whole audition process,\u201d the 19-year-old actress explained. \u201cIt ended up being in the top [two] on my Spotify Wrapped.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCameli had the chance to learn hockey, one of the reasons he said he was drawn to the role of Garrett. \u201cIt\u2019s a sport I haven\u2019t played before. I love finding ways into character through learning a skill that they have that I don\u2019t,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I think kind of just across the board, this [role] felt right for me. Not all roles do, but I felt pretty good [right] away about Garrett.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther series regulars include Mika Abdalla (Snack Shack), Antonio Cipriano (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin), Jalen Thomas Brooks (The Pitt), Josh Heuston (Dune: Prophecy) and Stephen Kalyn (Gen V). Fans of the book series will be excited to see the whole Briar U gang in the trailer. Among some of these series regulars are lead characters from other novels in Kennedy\u2019s\u00a0Off Campus\u00a0series. It\u2019s yet to be announced which book will be adapted for the second season.<\/p>\n

\n\tLouisa Levy serves as the co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Gina Fattore. Levy emphasized that the writers room worked hard to deliver as many easter egg moments as possible, knowing what\u2019s to come in later books. \u201cIt\u2019s been so important to us to stay true to both fans and what they want the show to be,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe mapped out the nonnegotiable, and then as a writer\u2019s room, we kind of put as many of those easter eggs in there as we could along the way, even if it was in ways that weren\u2019t expected,\u201d she continued. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Off Campus promises to offer fans a swoon-worthy team in front of their television, the cast and crew also insisted the series will be meaningful to viewers. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to speak up and talk to your friends if you have something you have to say,\u201d Kalyn, who plays hockey player Dean Heyward-Di Laurentis, said when asked what he hopes viewers take away from the series.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYour friends are there because they love you and your family\u2019s there because they love you, so don\u2019t be shy and speak up,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\tAbdalla, who plays Hannah\u2019s best friend Allie Hayes, emphasized that the large ensemble cast assures viewers that they\u2019ll find a character they can relate to. \u201cI hope people just feel seen,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of opportunity for people to identify with somebody in the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe four central hockey players, which Cipriano, who plays John Logan, and Brooks, who plays John Tucker, serve as the male love interests for the book series. \u201cI hope it inspires people climb walls by themselves and with other people,\u201d said Brooks.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m excited because you got to see a lot more of Logan than you\u2019d expect,\u201d said Cipriano, whose character is the lead of the book series\u2019 second installment, The Mistake. The 25-year-old said he\u2019s read both The Deal and The Mistake, and he\u2019s in the middle of the third book, The Score, right now.<\/p>\n

\n\tWyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and James Seidman executive produce for Temple Hill. Leanna Billings of Billings Productions and Neal Flaherty also serve as executive producers on the series.<\/p>\n
