Off Campus: Filling the Hockey Romance Void After ‘Heated Rivalry’

The new series “Off Campus” is getting ready to heat up screens following the success of “Heated Rivalry” on Prime Video. Based on Elle Kennedy’s romance novels, “Off Campus” takes viewers into the spicy world of a college hockey team’s love lives. It’s a bit like “Bridgerton,” but on ice, with each season dedicated to a new couple’s story.

In the first season, we unravel the romance between Garrett Graham, played by Belmont Cameli, and Hannah Wells, played by Ella Bright. Their love story kicks off in a somewhat embarrassing way, as Wells catches Graham in a compromising position in the locker room. But what starts as a fake dating plan soon turns into something real as they discover a genuine connection beyond their initial arrangement.

Even though “Off Campus” and “Heated Rivalry” both revolve around hockey, the two series aim to deliver unique storytelling experiences. The creators and actors of “Off Campus” appreciate the success of “Heated Rivalry” and emphasize that there’s space in the streaming world for multiple hockey-themed shows.

To ensure authenticity in the hockey scenes, the cast of “Off Campus” underwent a rigorous two-week hockey boot camp before filming. This training, overseen by former pro Dave Tomlinson, helped the actors get comfortable on the ice and make the game sequences look genuine. Actor Stephen Kalyn, who plays Dean Di Laurentis, even brought his personal hockey skills to set, adding an extra layer of realism to the show.

Looking ahead, “Off Campus” is gearing up for Season 2, with Cipriano joining the cast. While the actors are excited about their characters’ future storylines, they are currently celebrating the release of Season 1 and focusing on bringing their best performances to the screen.

The camaraderie among the cast members shines through, with each actor bringing their unique talent and skill to the table. Whether it’s sharing personal advice or looking forward to upcoming plot developments, the stars of “Off Campus” are committed to delivering an engaging and heartwarming series that viewers will love.

As Season 2 goes into production, fans can look forward to new twists and turns in the lives of their favorite characters. The cast of “Off Campus” is determined to keep viewers entertained and invested in the journey of love, friendship, and hockey, promising an exciting and satisfying viewing experience for all.
