The Amazon series adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s “Off Campus” books has added seven series regulars to its cast, Variety has learned.
The show, which was originally announced in October, has cast the following actors: Ella Bright (“The Crown,” “Malory Towers”) as Hannah, Belmont Camelli (“Until Dawn,” “Saved by the Bell”) as Garrett, Mika Abdalla (“Snack Shack,” “Sex Appeal”) as Allie, Antonio Cipriano (“Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” “National Treasure: Edge of History”) as Logan, Jalen Thomas Brooks (“The Pitt,” “Thanksgiving”) as Tucker, Josh Heuston (“Dune: Prophecy,” “Heartbreak High”) as Justin, and Stephen Kalyn (“Gen V,” “Motorheads”) as Dean.
The official description of the show states that it “follows the unlikely romance between a wry, hockey-hating music major (Bright) and Briar University’s playboy star center (Camelli). The series depicts the 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.”
The first season of the show will be based on the first book, titled “The Deal,” which was published in 2015.
Louisa Levy is adapting the books for the screen and will serve as executive producer and co-showrunner. Gina Fattore will also serve as executive producer and co-showrunner. Temple Hill’s Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and James Seidman executive produce along with Leanna Billings via Billings Productions, Neal Flaherty, and Silver Tree.
