The Complete Briar University Roster: Confirmed Cast and Character Profiles
The success of the Off Campus series hinges entirely on the chemistry of its core couples, and Prime Video has assembled a cast of rising stars to embody the beloved characters from Elle Kennedy’s novels. The first season of the show is an adaptation of the first book, The Deal, focusing on the tumultuous relationship between star hockey player Garrett Graham and music major Hannah Wells.
Here is the full confirmed main cast for the inaugural season, bringing the world of Briar University to life:
- Ella Bright as Hannah Wells: The wry, focused music major who finds herself in an unlikely, fake-dating arrangement with the star center. Bright is known for her role as a young Kate Middleton in The Crown.
- Belmont Cameli as Garrett Graham: The notorious playboy and captain of the Briar University hockey team whose career is on the line. Cameli is recognized for his work in Saved by the Bell and Until Dawn.
- Mika Abdalla as Allie Hayes: The quick-witted, fiercely loyal best friend of Hannah. Allie’s story is the focus of the third book, The Score.
- Antonio Cipriano as Dean Di Laurentis: One of the four core hockey roommates, Dean is known for his charismatic and often reckless personality. His story is the focus of the fourth book, The Goal.
- Jalen Thomas Brooks as Tucker: A key member of the hockey team, likely one of the four roommates (Garrett, Dean, Logan, Tucker/John).
- Stephen Kalyn as Logan: Another of the core hockey players and roommates, whose emotional journey is central to the second book, The Mistake.
The casting choices have been met with overwhelmingly positive reactions from the fandom, who have praised the actors' resemblance and energy to the characters they will portray. The show's producers have made it clear that capturing the essence of the "Found Family" dynamic among the hockey players is paramount to the series' success.
The Confirmed Release Window and Production Timeline
For fans who have been anxiously awaiting the television adaptation since its announcement, the most crucial update is the confirmed release window. The Off Campus TV series is officially slated to debut on Prime Video in 2026. While an exact premiere date has not yet been announced, this confirmation provides a clear timeline for the highly anticipated romantic drama.
The production timeline has been swift and efficient, signaling a strong commitment from Amazon MGM Studios to deliver the series quickly. Filming for Season 1 commenced in the summer of 2025, with production wrapping up by late fall/early winter 2025.
Key Production Entities:
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
- Studio: Amazon MGM Studios
- Showrunner/Writer: Louisa Levy (who also created the series)
- Co-Showrunner/Executive Producer: Gina Fattore
- Executive Producers: Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen
- Producer: Elle Kennedy (the author herself, ensuring fidelity to the source material)
The involvement of author Elle Kennedy as a producer is a significant detail, assuring readers that the adaptation will respect the tone and core narrative of the New Adult Romance books. This level of collaboration between the original creator and the production team is often a sign of a faithful and successful adaptation.
Plot Details: What to Expect from the Steamy Hockey Romance
The first season of the Off Campus series will be centered on the events of The Deal, the initial book in the five-part series. The plot is a classic "fake relationship" trope mixed with the high-stakes world of college sports and intense romantic chemistry.
The central conflict begins when Garrett Graham, the star hockey captain, faces academic probation which could jeopardize his entire career and future in the NHL. Desperate to pass his ethics class, he strikes a deal with Hannah Wells, the brilliant but reserved music major.
The Deal is simple: Hannah will tutor Garrett, and in return, Garrett will help Hannah overcome her social anxiety and learn to stand up to the people who intimidate her. What starts as a strictly business arrangement quickly spirals into a passionate, complicated, and steamy romance as the two navigate their vastly different social circles at Briar University.
The series is classified as a College-Set Romantic Drama, or "New Adult Romance," a genre known for its focus on characters aged 18-25 navigating independence, complex relationships, and self-discovery. The show is expected to maintain the "steamy" and emotionally intense tone that made the books bestsellers, appealing to a wide audience who enjoy high-heat, high-stakes relationship stories.
The Future of the 'Off Campus' Universe on Prime Video
While Season 1 is focused on The Deal, the potential for future seasons is immense, given the depth of the source material. Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series is comprised of five books, each focusing on a different member of the core group of friends:
- The Deal (Garrett & Hannah) - Season 1 Focus
- The Mistake (Logan & Grace) - Potential Season 2
- The Score (Dean & Allie) - Potential Season 3
- The Goal (Tucker & Sabrina) - Potential Season 4
- The Legacy (A novella featuring all the couples) - Potential Special Episode
The fact that the main cast for the other core characters (Allie Hayes, Dean Di Laurentis, and Logan) has already been announced for Season 1 suggests that the show may lay the groundwork for their individual stories early on, or even incorporate elements from the later books into the first season's narrative. This strategy would be a smart move to build topical authority and fan investment for a long-running series.
The adaptation is poised to capitalize on the massive success of other book-to-screen romances, particularly those in the "New Adult" category. With its combination of elite college life, competitive hockey, and undeniable romantic tension, the Off Campus TV show is set to be a major streaming event for Prime Video in 2026. Keep an eye out for the first official trailer and an exact release date, which are expected to drop in the latter half of 2026 as post-production wraps up.
