Excellent news for Off campus fans – the wildly popular Prime Video college soap opera will be back sooner than expected, with a Season 2 premiere scheduled for April 28, 2027. That’s less than a year after Season 1’s May 13 release, a very rare gap of less than 12 months for a streaming series and one of the smallest on record.
Fast turnaround time for Off campuscreated by Louisa Levy based on author Elle Kennedy’s best-selling book Off Campus Universe, was helped by the early renewal of Season 2 in February, three months before Season 1 debuted.
It should meet global demand for the series which, six months after the release of season 1, remains among the 10 most watched series in the world on Prime Video, the last being 6th for the week of October 26. Off campusThe Enduring Power followed a red-hot launch, with Season 1 reaching 36 million viewers in its first 12 days, marking the third most-watched season premiere of any series in Prime Video history as a whole and the most-watched ever among women 18-34.
Off campus follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives, as they grapple with love, heartbreak and self-discovery – forging deep friendships and lasting bonds while navigating the complexities that come with the transition to adulthood.
As announced in May, season 2 will center on the romance between Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) of The error book in the Kennedy series.
