Briar University Hockey Captain Garrett Graham, who has already been drafted by the Boston Bruins, is struggling in his philosophy class and needs a passing grade to continue playing. Hannah Wells, a music major and a top student in the same class, is working as a janitor in the locker room when she accidentally walks in on Garrett nude in the showers. Embarrassed and flustered, she runs off, amusing Garrett. After noticing Hannah's A grade on a class essay, he recruits her to tutor him. In return, Hannah asks Garrett if they could pretend to be a couple so she can gain the interest of her crush, musician Justin. After some initial reluctance on Hannah's part because of her distaste of hockey and some of Garrett's jock antics, the two agree on the deal.
2"The Practice"Silver TreeLouisa Levy & Nick BraggMay 13, 2026 (2026-05-13)
Garrett and Hannah practice kissing and pretend to be a couple in public, wanting Jules, John's sister, to post about the relationship on her social media gossip account. They become closer after a party in which Hannah and Garrett open up to each other about their respective love of music and hockey. Garrett confides how his father Phil has prepared him for a career in hockey since he was a kid. Dean sees Allie dancing at the party and tries to get with her, but after they share a brief charged moment on the dance floor, she turns him down. Jules publishes a photo of Hannah and Garrett to the account. The next day, as Hannah boards a bus headed to a Briar Hawks game, Justin approaches Hannah and sits beside her.

Hannah grows closer to Justin and asks him to collaborate with her on a song for a pop songwriting competition. It is revealed that Hannah is uncomfortable in her own body after she was sexually assaulted by a hockey player in high school. On karaoke night at Malone's Bar, Hannah gets drunk and sings "Cherry Pie" as Garrett starts to see her in a new light. He takes Hannah back to his place, but when she tries to seduce him, he stops her and tells her to sleep it off. Hannah gets a text message from Justin inviting her to come over to his place to work on songwriting, and she realizes she wants to be prepared for potential sex with Justin.

After Hannah opens up about her assault and intimacy struggles, Garrett agrees to help her as a friend. Allie breaks up with Sean, but he expects it won't last. That night, Hannah arrives to Garrett's place, and, after setting Hannah at ease with the song "Baby, Now That I've Found You" on his phone, they proceed to have sex. However, Hannah tenses up and cannot go through with it, so Garrett proposes they instead bring themselves to orgasm in front of each other, but separately. After completing the task, Garrett realizes he truly likes Hannah, and his teammates urge him to tell her at the Drunk Shakespeare event. Justin is also at the event and confesses his interest in Hannah to her. After reassuring him she isn't serious with Garrett, she happily tells Garrett their "deal" worked since he got the grade and she got the guy. Garrett leaves the event dejected that Hannah likes someone else and goes to the ice rink to practice alone. After a conversation with Justin in which Hannah realizes it's Garrett she loves, she goes to the rink and sings "Baby, Now That I've Found You" to him on the sound system.

Though Garrett is reluctant to spend time with Phil, Hannah insists he go and accompanies him. Tucker and John stay on campus for Friendsgiving, which turns from a small gathering to a big one when other Hawks players bring their friends. Being at Phil's home dredges up memories for Garrett of the domestic abuse of his late mother by his father. He storms out with Hannah after realizing that Phil has also been abusing his fiancée Cindy.

Aaron sees Hannah kissing Garrett off the ice, and during the game, insults her to Garrett's face. An enraged Garrett loses his cool and beats Aaron up.

On February 12, 2026, ahead of the series premiere, Amazon Prime Video renewed the series for a second season.[5] On May 28, 2026, Amazon Prime Video announced the second season is set to focus Dean and Allie's relationship as the central couple.[6]

Casting

On May 6, 2025, Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli, Mika Abdalla, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Josh Heuston, and Stephen Kalyn were cast as series regulars.[7] In July 2025, Steve Howey and Khobe Clarke joined the cast in recurring roles.[8][9] On November 6, 2025, AJ Abell, Francesca Bianchi, Kai Bradbury, Karis Cameron, Josh Chambers, Riley Davis, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Chelah Horsdal, Quinten James, Dylan Kingwell, Riley Orr, Lauren Patten, Frankie Randysek, Brandon Scott, Jennifer Spence, Julia Sarah Stone, Marlee Walchuk, and Chad Willett all joined the cast in recurring roles.[10] On April 30, 2026, India Fowler was cast as a series regular while Phillipa Soo joined the cast in a recurring capacity for the second season.[11]

Release

All eight episodes of the first season of Off Campus premiered on May 13, 2026.[12] Amazon Prime reported that the series reached 36 million viewers in its first 12 days of streaming, making it the third most-watched series launch in the streaming service's history.[13]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes holds a 93% approval rating based on 29 critic reviews, with an average of rated reviews of 7.8/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Off Campus thrives on titillation and the deliberate excavation of relationship dynamics in a whirlwind romance novel adaptation that genuinely cares for the genre and all its pleasurable trappings."[14] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, gave a score of 71 out of 100 based on 11 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[15]

Critics praised the chemistry between Bright and Cameli.[16][17][18] The Hollywood Reporter's Angie Han wrote, "The series is at its most endearing when the two are simply connecting, whether it's the normally confident Garrett gazing shyly at Hannah from across a crowded room, or the normally reserved Hannah confidently taking charge of their relationship".[19] In Variety, Aramide Tinubu praised how the show gives "side characters...their own moments to shine", in addition to its sensitive treatment of sexual assault and consent.[16] Gavia Baker-Whitelaw of TV Guide also praised the supporting cast, describing Garrett's teammates as "an oasis of consent kings and supportive himbos in a culture that otherwise promotes toxic masculinity", and commending the show for "[facing] up to the unpleasant realities of sexual assault in men's sports".[17] Baker-Whitelaw noted that some of the show's rom-com tropes can feel "a little too glossy and derivative" and that comparisons to Heated Rivalry are inevitable, but "Garrett and Hannah's relationship is sincere enough to win us over".[17]

More critical reviews criticized the dialogue and pacing,[19] commenting the series does not fully realize the steamy potential of its source material.[20] Christina Izzo of The A.V. Club wrote "Off Campus' graphic sex scenes act as little more than jarring snags before we're breezily back to our goofy regularly scheduled programming".[20]
