Off Campus: Hockey Romance Hits Prime Video in May 2026

Prime Video's "Off Campus" series, adapted from Elle Kennedy's popular hockey romance novels, is scheduled for a May 2026 debut. The first season will focus on the initial book, "The Deal," which centers on a fake dating arrangement between hockey captain Garrett Graham and music student Hannah Wells. This arrangement is intended to help Hannah make her crush jealous, but it leads to an unexpected romance between Garrett and Hannah.

While Garrett and Hannah are the main love story, season one will also serve as an ensemble show, introducing viewers to the entire campus community and their developing friendships. Actors Jalen Thomas Brooks, who plays John Tucker, and Stephen Kalyn, who portrays Dean Di Laurentis, emphasize that all characters will have significant moments, allowing audiences to discover intertwined storylines. They also highlighted that the showrunners have infused the adaptation with considerable heart, promising fans will be captivated by more than just the romantic and explicit content.

The series arrives amidst a surge of popularity for sports romance literature and hockey-themed television. "Heated Rivalry," another book-based hockey series, saw a significant increase in real-world hockey ticket sales and purchases following its November 2025 release. Despite comparisons, "Off Campus" distinguishes itself with a heterosexual romance at its core, though both shows share a nuanced approach to scene development, allowing actors to explore character dynamics.
