Off Campus

The internet is all about fictional hockey boyfriends right now, and the arrival of the Off Campus series is just adding to the hype (and, rightly so). Based on Elle Kennedy’s best-selling novel The Deal, the series blends college romance with the energetic world of campus hockey, delivering a narrative filled with heated rivalry, witty banter and heartfelt moments.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Vancouver, British Columbia, Off Campus is centred around the life of college students Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, whose unexpected connection blossoms into a romance that is both sweet and chaotic.

Off Campus: Cast, plot and trailer

The series stars Ella Bright (Hannah Wells) and Belmont Cameli (Garrett Graham) in the lead roles. Joining them in the cast are Mika Abdalla (Allie Hayes), Stephen Thomas Kalyn (Dean Di Laurentis), Jalen Thomas Brooks (John Tucker), and Antonio Cipriano (John Logan).

The Off Campus show follows Hannah Wells, a music major, and Garrett Graham, a star hockey player who struggles to maintain his grades. When Garrett asks Hannah for academic help in a subject, she agrees on one condition: Garrett will have to be her fake boyfriend. What starts as a simple deal to help each other out slowly turns into an unexpected romance. Set against the backdrop of Briar University, the series explores themes of love, trust, healing, and personal growth.

This 8-episode romantic series started streaming on Amazon Prime Video on May 13, 2026.
