The team at Briar University is already getting ready for another semester before the first one even starts. Prime Video has handed out a Season 2 renewal for its upcoming college romance Off Campus months before the show based on Elle Kennedy’s bestselling books hits the screen. The series will arrive globally in May 2026, giving audiences a new hockey-filled drama to follow.
Off Campus Season 1 Arrives in May 2026 With Season 2 Already Confirmed
Off Campus will start streaming on Prime Video in May 2026. An exact premiere date has not been announced yet. The show will be available in more than 240 countries and territories through the platform .
What makes this different from most TV shows is the decision to order a second season before anyone has seen the first one. Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television at Amazon MGM Studios, explained the early renewal by pointing to the strong source material and the team working on the adaptation .
“With its passionate fan base, rich source material, and an incredible creative team bringing Briar U to life, we knew that this series had the depth and momentum to continue beyond its first season,” Friedlander said in a statement .
The show was originally ordered at Prime Video back in 2024. Production is currently happening and first-look images have already been released .
What Is Off Campus About? The Hockey Romance Story Explained

Season 1 focuses on the romance between Hannah and Garrett. Hannah is a quiet songwriter who keeps to herself. Garrett is Briar’s star hockey player who is used to winning both on and off the ice. Their relationship brings together two people who seem completely different .
The book series works like Bridgerton where each story focuses on a different couple from the same friend group. The TV show plans to follow this same format. Future seasons will shift attention to other characters from the Briar University circle .
