\n\tDean and Allie fans, rejoice! Your time has come. <\/p>\n
\n\tStephen Kalyn<\/a> and Mika Abdalla<\/a> have been tapped to lead Off Campus season two, Prime Video announced Thursday. It shouldn\u2019t come as too much of a surprise to fans of the series, which premiered on the streamer May 13, as the pairing had an episode dedicated to their complicated not-quite relationship. <\/p>\n \n\tFollowing the success of season one, the show\u2019s next installment will adapt the plot of Elle Kennedy<\/a>\u2019s third novel in the Off Campus series, The Score. It centers on lovable party boy turned certified lover boy Dean Di Laurentis (Kalyn) and aspiring actress and the ultimate best friend Allie Hayes (Abdalla). Both Kalyn and Abdalla\u2019s characters were fan favorites during the season one run.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI consider [episode six] a pilot episode or a soft launch for season two and what you\u2019re going to expect,\u201d Kalyn told The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cI was so grateful to learn from Ella [Bright] and Belmont [Cameli] and watch those two great phenomenal actors lead season one.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAbdalla had similar sentiments, sharing her excitement for getting to work more closely with her co-star. \u201cI truly love working with Stephen so much. We didn\u2019t get to do very many emotional scenes together [in season one], but when we did, we really fed off of each other in a really fulfilling way,\u201d she told THR. \u201cI\u2019m excited that I get to do this with him because I trust him so much. I trust that he will be there for me, and I will be there for him on days that are more intense than anything we experienced season one.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCreator and showrunner Louisa Levy promised fans that season\u2019s one leading couple weren\u2019t going anywhere. \u201cWe are so excited to continue Allie and Dean\u2019s story as our primary romance of season two after kickstarting their romance in season one. But if you fell in love with Hannah and Garrett, don\u2019t worry \u2014 they will still be an integral part of our robust ensemble. We\u2019re looking forward to telling the next chapter of everyone\u2019s story,\u201d she said in a release.<\/p>\n \n\tThe book series\u00a0Off Campus, which begins with\u00a0The Deal, follows a new-but-connected couple in each book. The show plans to keep that model.\u00a0Season one dove headfirst into the age-old romantic trope of fake dating with music student Hannah Wells (Bright), who, in true hockey fashion, is often called Wellsy by her love interest, Garrett Graham (Cameli). Graham is the son of a professional hockey legend and captain of Briar University\u2019s hockey team.<\/p>\n \n\tOff Campus has become a hit for Prime Video. The series reached 36 million viewers<\/a> worldwide over its first 12 days of release, according to figures shared by the Amazon-owned streamer. It comes in as Prime Video\u2019s third largest series debut over that amount of time, behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout.<\/p>\n \n\tBoth Kalyn and Abdalla will join several of their cast members and other YA-focused Prime Video titles at Amazon\u2019s first Obsessed Fest<\/a> on June 27. The daylong fan experience is set to bring together cast and creatives from Off Campus, The Love Hypothesis, Overcompensating, Every Year After, Elle, The Devil\u2019s Mouth, Your Fault: London, Drawn Together, Maxton Hall, The Last Sunrise and Red, White and Royal Blue Wedding.<\/p>\n \n\tLevy serves as Off Campus\u2019 creator and co-showrunner, executive producing alongside fellow showrunner Gina Fattore. Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and James Seidman executive produce for Temple Hill. Leanna Billings of Billings Productions and Neal Flaherty also exec produce.<\/p>\n \n\tAll episodes of Off Campus are streaming now on\u00a0Prime Video<\/a>.
