'Off Campus' Season 2 Sets April 28, 2027 Premiere at Prime Video

By Elena Vasquez

Amazon Prime Video has set April 28, 2027 as the premiere date for Season 2 of "Off Campus." The YA drama, based on Elle Kennedy's book series, will shift its focus to the relationship between Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn).

The date announcement caps a record-breaking first run. The series debuted in May 2026 and reached 36 million viewers worldwide in its first 12 days of availability, according to Amazon — roughly 3 million viewers per day. Amazon also calls it the platform's most-viewed series debut season of all time, though the company has not specified how it defines "reach."

The takeaway: Amazon is betting its biggest debut series can carry a second season built around two new leads.

What is Season 2 about?

Season 2 follows the second book's central pairing. Allie Hayes, played by Mika Abdalla, enters a relationship with Dean Di Laurentis, played by Stephen Kalyn. The first season centered on the couple played by Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli.

The official logline states that the show "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 enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood."

Who returns for the new season?

The cast list Amazon released includes:

• Mika Abdalla as Allie Hayes and Stephen Kalyn as Dean Di Laurentis
• Returning series regulars Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks and India Fowler
• Julia Sarah-Stone, Khobe Clarke, Miles Gutierrez-Riley and Philipa Soo in recurring roles
• Charlie Evans and Shay Rudolph as guest stars

Louisa Levy adapted the books for the screen. She serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Gina Fattore. Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and James Seidman executive produce through Temple Hill, with Leanna Billings of Billings Productions and Neal Flaherty also executive producing. Annika Patton of Temple Hill co-executive produces.

How did Season 1 land with critics?

Season 1 holds a 92% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In her review for Variety, Aramide Tinubu wrote: "'Off Campus' is mostly solid, and Bright and Cameli have lovely chemistry, as do side characters who get their own moments to shine. The series also does a great job highlighting discussions of sexual assault and consent while showcasing healthy sexual encounters and practices."

The show paired its audience numbers with critical approval — a combination rare enough that a second season was all but assured.

What does the 2027 date signal?

The nearly three-year gap between the May 2026 debut and the April 2027 return gives Amazon a full year to build anticipation around Abdalla and Kalyn as the new leads. If Season 2 matches the first season's performance, "Off Campus" becomes a long-running franchise anchor for Prime Video's YA slate, with Kennedy's multi-book series supplying material for further seasons.
