<p id=”par-2_45″>In February, the streamer announced that it had already ordered a sophomore season of <em>Off Campus. </em>The early renewal news came months ahead of the show’s May 13 debut and was a clear sign that Amazon is convinced it had a hit on its hands.</p>

<p id=”par-3_32″>One reason the company felt good about betting on <em>Off Campus</em>? The show, which is based on a series of popular books by Elle Kennedy, had a built-in base of enthusiastic fans. </p>
<p id=”par-4_63″>“Off Campus captures the kind of emotionally charged, character-driven storytelling that truly resonates with our global Prime Video audience,” Peter Friedlander, head of global television, Amazon MGM Studios, explained. “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.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_46″>Described as a “college soap,” <em>Off Campus</em> follows the members of an elite ice hockey team at Briar University and the women in their lives. Season 1 focuses on an “opposites attract” romance between quiet songwriter, Hannah (Ella Bright) and all-star hockey athlete, Garrett (Belmont Cameli).</p>
<p id=”par-6_34″>“We have great confidence in the way [creator Louisa Levy] has mastered this adaptation and we’re excited to give fans even more of the romance, friendship, and heart that define the series,” he added. </p>

<p id=”par-7_97″><em>Off Campus </em>is just the latest in a wave of TV adaptations based on popular romance books. Last year, HBO Max scored a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/tv-insider-reveals-heated-rivalry-became-cultural-sensation-people-like-smut.html/”>massive win with <em>Heated Rivalry</em></a><em>, </em>a steamy series about the relationship between two pro hockey players. Much of the buzz about the show was fueled by the book’s readers. Back in 2020, Netflix leveraged the existing fans of Julia Quinn’s regency romance novels about the Bridgerton siblings into <em>Bridgerton. </em>It quickly became one of the streamer’s most-watched shows. <em>Virgin River </em>and <em>Sweet Magnolias, </em>both also based on books, have also been hits for Netflix.</p>
<p id=”par-8_53″>Amazon has been particularly keen to adapt best-selling books with large, plugged-in fanbases. Recently, Prime Video announced that it will host the first-ever Obsessed Fest this June, part of a new initiative targeting young adult audiences that will also include Prime Book Club, “a global program that extends the company’s book-to-screen storytelling pipeline.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_56″>In addition to <em>Off Campus, </em>Prime Video’s 2026 slate includes <em>Every Year After </em>(based on Carley Fortune’s book of the same named), movie versions of Ali Hazelwood’s <em>The Love Hypothesis </em>and Anna Todd’s <em>The Last Sunrise, </em>and a new season of <em>Maxton Hall: The World Between Us, </em>which is based on a book by Mona Kasten. </p>
<p id=”par-10_33″>Prime Video has also ordered a series based on Rebecca Yarros’ romantasy novel <em>Fourth Wing, </em>as well as a TV adaptation of <em>Rose Hill, </em>based on bestselling romance novels by Elsie Silver. <em> </em></p>
