The debut season of Off Campus centers around the romantic journey of Hannah and Garrett, leaving fans eager to know if stars Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli will reprise their roles in future seasons.
In an exclusive conversation with Us Weekly, Cameli, 28, addressed the curiosity surrounding the show’s format, which features a new fictional couple each season. “I totally understand your concern,” he remarked. “We will be along for the ride the whole time.”
Bright affirmed their commitment to the series, mentioning that they plan on “sticking” around, while Cameli, 19, expressed their enthusiasm for the next chapter, stating, “We’re excited to see what season 2 holds for [us].”
Adapted from Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus book series, the show, set to premiere on Wednesday, May 13, delves into the lives of an elite ice hockey team and the women who are part of their world. According to the official synopsis, the narrative explores themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery as these characters form deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities of young adulthood.
Prime Video’s adaptation highlights various love stories at Briar U, reflecting on which couples find lasting connections as portrayed in the books. With a mix of romance and personal growth, the series promises to captivate audiences with its engaging storytelling.
Season 1 is centered around the “sexy and fun ‘opposites attract’ romance between quiet songwriter, Hannah, and Briar University’s all-star hockey athlete, Garrett.”
For Bright and Cameli, the experience of introducing the Off Campus universe was made easier because of their quick offscreen friendship.
“Doing a job like this would be so miserable if you didn’t like your costar,” Cameli shared. “We are so lucky. Ella and I are really, really good friends. We get along so well and we spend a ton of time together on set.”
Bright was just as grateful to have Cameli as her onscreen partner in crime.

“Honestly, we just have so much fun. It’s so cool to be able to go on this journey with everybody who just cares so much about this show and these characters,” she gushed to Us. “Everyone is here for the same reason. It definitely loosens the pressure a lot, because you’re sharing it with all these really great and talented people.”
Cameli pointed out that he and Bright have a seamless bond. “We just told you, that our faces literally hurt right now. We just sat here unmoving and laughing all day,” he noted.
While season 1 will make fans fall in love with Hannah and Garrett’s story, the show introduces characters played by Mika Abdalla, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Josh Heuston and Stephen Kalyn as well.
