Prime Video’s off Campus has already set up its perfect 5-season future

Prime Video’s hit new romantic drama, Off Campushas already set up its perfect five-season future (and maybe even more). Months before Off Campus season 1 premiered on the streamer and shared Hannah Wells and Garrett Grahams fake-dating, friends-to-lovers story to the world, Prime announced it had renewed Lousia Levy’s adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s bestselling book series for a second season.

Now that Season 1 has arrived, it’s clear to see why. Not only has the show been a massive, global success, but episode 6, “The Breakaway,” clearly introduces the drama’s other central love story, as Hannah’s best friend, Allie, and Garrett’s team and roommate, Dean Di Laurentis, transform from a casual fling into something so much more. Allie and Dean are the series’ next love story is, however, a significant departure from the books. In Kennedy’s source material, Garrett’s best friend, John Logan, finds his soulmate after realizing that his feelings for Hannah were not as deep as he thought they were.

It is not the only change Off Campus have made to the order of the novels. In a dramatic twist, Allie and Dean don’t just get into a relationship like they do in their book, Score. Instead, near the end of the season, Allie hooks up with someone else, another non-team hockey player by name Hunter Davenport. Crucially, the show’s version of Dean hates Hunter—potentially because of something to do with his sister—while Hunter barely gets along with the original Off Campus book series (the character appears sporadically, with Dean taking him under his wing both on and off the ice).

While this shift in Hunter and Dean’s dynamic will undoubtedly have surprised book readers, it means that Levy and her creative team are thinking about the show’s long-term future, even beyond Kennedy’s initial Off Campus book series.

While Kennedy’s original five-book series includes the love stories of Garrett, Logan, Dean and John Tucker, as well as a “where are they now” installment, the team’s story doesn’t end there. The next generation moves into the house when the four core boys leave school, with their love stories depicted in Off Campus’ sequel series, Briar U.

Hunter’s love story with Demi Davis takes place in the third Briar U book, The playafter an argument on the ice leads him to commit to a personal vow of celibacy. Obviously, Garret, Logan, Dean and Tucker will be the focus Off Campus’ hypothetical first four seasons (in whatever order). Still, the show could easily use Hunter’s love story for Season 5, setting the stage for his future teammates to move into Garrett’s old house and find their great loves on Briar University’s leafy campus.

The legacys “Where are they now” stories could even factor in Off Campus season 5 and beyond, with Hunter staying in touch with Dean and the rest of the boys, by extension—presumably by then, they’ll have buried the hatchet after their upcoming love triangle dynamic with Allie—as he and his team continue to battle for the Frozen Four trophy.

Hunter Davenport’s early introduction sets up the show’s long-term future

Theoretically, Off Campus could even go beyond season 5. There are four books in Briar U series; the first features Dean’s sister Summer’s romance (which has already been conveniently mentioned on the show) with Hunter’s future teammate, Colin “Fitzy” Fitzgerald. Summer and Hunter even have a brief dalliance in their book before she gets together with Fitzy, which the show could use as inspiration for why Dean hates Davenport so much, though Hunter and Summer’s book fling ultimately ends amicably. Sommer and Colin’s story could be perfect for Off Campus season 6.

If Prime’s adaptation maintains its quality and moves forward at a season-per-year pace (Off Campus season 2 reportedly already started filming), there’s no reason the show couldn’t adapt each of them Off Campus’pp. and Briar U’s individual book romances, bringing the series’ total seasons to eight. The series has created the perfect structure as one Bridgerton-like contemporary ensemble drama. Each new season can feature a new couple as the next in line is introduced, keeping audiences excited for what’s to come.

Like the books, each season will feature new romantic tropes and new personal challenges, keeping the show’s stories fresh, flirty, funny and emotionally grounded. The streamer could have a real, long-term hit on its hands here. After being Prime Video’s third biggest launch ever, Off Campus has what it takes to go all the way.
