The Official Off Campus Season One Cast:
Ella Bright as Hannah Wells
Smart, driven, and quietly hilarious, Hannah is the ultimate “I have no time for your BS” heroine — and Ella Bright is officially stepping into her shoes. Known for her emotional range and confident delivery, Bright is expected to bring Hannah’s wit and vulnerability to life on screen.
Belmont Cameli as Garrett Graham
Say hello to our captain. Belmont Cameli (Saved by the Bell, Along for the Ride) has been cast as none other than Garrett Graham — the cocky, charming hockey player with a surprising soft side. Fans are already swooning over how perfect he looks for the role.
Mika Abdalla as Allie Hayes
Our favorite drama queen (in the best way) is in good hands with Mika Abdalla. Allie’s bold personality and big heart are key to her arc — and we can’t wait to watch her and Dean Di Laurentis in action down the line.
Antonio Cipriano as Logan
Logan is Garrett’s teammate, wingman, and the star of book two (The Mistake). Antonio Cipriano’s boy-next-door energy and Broadway roots make him a strong fit for the loyal and occasionally clueless Logan.
Jalen Thomas Brooks as Tucker
Tucker may be quiet, but don’t underestimate him. Jalen Thomas Brooks will portray the thoughtful, Texas-born goalie who has one of the series' most emotional arcs (hello, The Goal fans!).
Josh Heuston as Justin
While Justin isn’t one of the core four hockey players, his presence in Hannah’s past adds tension and depth to the early storyline. Josh Heuston will take on this role, and we’re excited to see how it plays out on screen.
Stephen Kalyn as Dean Di Laurentis
Last but absolutely not least, we’ve got Stephen Kalyn as Dean. Known for his charisma and mischievous grin, Kalyn feels like a perfect match for Briar U’s resident golden retriever with a flirtation problem. (The Score readers, you’re in for a treat.)
Should You Read the Off Campus Books Before Watching?
Short answer: you don't have to, but you'll get so much more out of it if you do.
Season 1 is based on The Deal, so if you only have time for one book before May 13, that's the one. You'll go in knowing Hannah and Garrett's full story. The fake dating setup, the emotional backstory, the slow burn, and you'll be able to catch every adaptation choice the showrunners made.
If you have time for more, reading the entire Off Campus series before the show drops is the move. All four core characters (Garrett, Logan, Dean, and Tucker) appear throughout the series, and their friendships deepen across the books.
The Legacy gives you an epilogue for all four couples. Knowing these characters before the show means every casting choice, every scene, and every deviation from the source material will hit differently.
Bottom line: You can absolutely watch Off Campus cold. But readers who know the books will catch the Easter eggs, feel the chemistry comparisons, and have a much richer experience. Check out our Off Campus Guide for exactly which books to prioritize based on how much time you have.
