I didn’t expect to get into a soapy college-set romance this summer, but here we are—and I’m not the only one. Off Campus, based on the Elle Kennedy book series of the same name, has swiftly become a runaway success; the Prime Video show is now the third most-watched debut series of all time on the streamer, with a combined 36 million viewers in its first two weeks.

It’s easy to see why. Like all the best teen dramas of yore, it exists within the comforting, color-saturated world of jocks and college parties, of red cups and romances, diners and karaoke bars. Nothing really dark ever happens, it’s only ever alluded to; and you can be sure that despite any setbacks these characters may face, they’ll all work it out in the end.

Amazon already knew it was going to be a doozy. Off Campus was renewed for a second season back in February, months before the first season even premiered. But what can we expect from the second horny ice hockey drama of the last year? Here’s what we know about Season 2.

What will Off Campus Season 2 be about?

Off Campus’s first season focused on a blossoming romance between ice hockey star Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) and bookish music student Hannah Wells (Ella Bright). But, as with each book, each season will likely focus on a different love story, meaning Garrett and Hannah won’t be the central couple of Season 2.

In an Instagram teaser, Amazon confirmed that Season 2 would primarily focus on Hannah’s best friend Allie (Mika Abdalla) and Garrett’s ice hockey pal Dean (Stephen Kalyn), who spent Season 1 in a “friends with benefits” situation that started to feel serious. “We are so excited to continue Allie and Dean’s story as our primary romance of season two,” Off Campus writer Louisa Levy said in a statement. “But if you fell in love with Hannah and Garrett, don’t worry—they will still be an integral part of our robust ensemble. We’re looking forward to telling the next chapter of everyone’s story. There’s a lot for fans to look forward to!”

Who’s in the cast for Off Campus Season 2?

The streamer has confirmed that plenty of the Season 1 cast will carry on into the next season (Bright as Hannah, Cameli as Garrett, Abdalla as Allie, Kalyn as Dean, Antonio Cipriano as John Logan, and Jalen Thomas Brooks as John Tucker).

But there will also be some new faces. On April 30, India Fowler (White Lines, Insomnia) was announced as the character of Grace Ivers for Season 2 (the eagle-eyed among us will have noticed that she did make a minor cameo in the first season, at the Hawks’ fundraiser event at Malone’s). And, well, spoiler: Ivers appears as Logan’s love interest in the books. Phillipa Soo (Hamilton), will also join as Scarlett, a theater artist who guest-directs an original play for Briar University’s drama department.

One character that won’t be returning is Justin, played by Josh Heuston. “I love Josh, and I would not write him off if I can find a way to bring Justin back at some point,” Levy told TV Guide. “We never got a chance to meet Stella, who is the person he ends up with in the book. So maybe we’ll find a way to fold him into a future season. We don’t have him [available] next season, but never say never.”

What’s the release date for Off Campus Season 2?

Off Campus Season 2 is likely to come out sooner than is often the case with hit shows. Though Prime has yet to announce an official release date, the season reportedly commenced filming on June 1—and, given filming also began in June of last year before wrapping up in October ahead of the show’s May release, we’d expect Season 2 to be out in May 2027, if not sooner. Here’s hoping!
