Prime Video’s Off Campus has barely finished its first season and the streaming service is already deep into building season two — with a new central couple, two significant cast additions, and a production start just days away.
Filming is expected to begin June 1, 2026, and run through September 18, 2026, with a projected premiere in either April or May 2027. The swift turnaround reflects Amazon MGM Studios’ confidence in a show that was renewed before a single episode aired — an early vote of faith that has since been validated by what CBC described as a strong streaming debut.
Season two will shift focus to Mika Abdalla and Stephen Kalyn as Allie Hayes and Dean Di Laurentis, the couple whose arc in Elle Kennedy’s source novels comes from The Score, the third book in the series. Season one centred on Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, played by Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli, and showrunner Louisa Levy has made clear their story isn’t over. “They are still very much present in season two, and are a big part of the community of characters that we’re building on the show,” Levy said.
The season’s most high-profile new addition is Philippa Soo, the Broadway star who originated the role of Eliza Hamilton in Hamilton. Soo joins in a recurring capacity as Scarlett, a theatre artist guest-directing an original play in Briar University’s drama department — a role that signals the season will lean into theatrical storylines, with the show’s soundtrack likely to follow. Alongside her, India Fowler has been cast as Grace Ivers, the sociology-major freshman who becomes the love interest of Antonio Cipriano’s John Logan. Grace’s appearance plants the seed for Logan’s own lead arc, which the show’s architecture suggests would anchor a potential third season.
One notable absence: Josh Heuston, whose character Justin Kohl generated significant audience interest in season one, will not return. Levy acknowledged the loss but left the door open. “I love Josh and I would not write him off if I can find a way to bring Justin back,” she said, noting that the character’s romantic counterpart from the books — a character named Stella, teased by a dorm-room pennant in a season one scene — was never introduced on screen.
The show is co-showrun and executive produced by Levy and Gina Fattore, with Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and James Seidman executive producing for Temple Hill. No third-season order has been announced, though the built-in structure of Kennedy’s four-book series gives the show a clear long-term runway — provided the audience holds.
