What initially seemed like a standard campus rom-com has surpassed a number of major big-budget productions in viewership. Prime Video has announced that, just 12 days after its release, Off Campus had officially become one of the most successful original series in the platform’s history.

Prime Video’s third-biggest series premiere ever

Peter Friedlander, an executive at Amazon MGM Studios, recently confirmed that Off Campus drew more than 36 million views in its first 12 days after premiering. That impressive figure placed it third among all first-season launches on the platform, behind only the effects-heavy epic The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout. For a contemporary romance set largely on campus and at the rink, it is an especially impressive result.

The two gorgeous leads who took their on-screen romance off-screen

Much of the series’ success comes down to its compelling character setup. The story follows Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), a music major with an artistic air who is always carrying an instrument. To catch the attention of Justin (Josh Heuston), the band frontman she truly has a crush on, she enters into a “fake dating” arrangement with Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), the campus’ most popular hockey star. Anyone familiar with this kind of romance knows where it is headed: what begins as mutual convenience gradually turns into something real. Their chemistry on screen is enough to leave viewers smiling without even realizing it.

If you love a series that follows a new couple each season, this one should be right up your alley. In an interview, creator Louisa Levy made it clear that, as long as the platform is on board, she is ready to bring the stories of every popular campus bachelor from the original novels to the screen. One of the show’s smartest choices is how Season 1 quietly establishes a cast of vivid, well-rounded supporting characters. With Season 2 already confirmed, fans of the books are eagerly speculating that the next love story will center on Logan (Antonio Cipriano) and Grace Ivers (India Fowler), whose personalities could not be more different. A youthful campus romance with a gorgeous cast is always an ideal way to unwind with a weekend binge. If you have not started yet, why not open Prime Video tonight and see what the buzz is about?
