Off-Campus season 2 cancelled? What’s going on? Release date, cast, and plot have just been confirmed
The real filming locations behind Off Campus — plus everything we know about season 2
Vancouver once again sets the scene for another steamy hockey love storyWhen one steamy hockey show ends, another must take its place – so the saying goes in 2026, at least. If you watched Heated Rivalry and felt a newfound interest in winter sports, then let us discuss (or introduce you to) Off Campus.
Based on Elle Kennedy’s best-selling novel The Deal, the series is a delicious combination of competitive campus hockey and college romance, and follows the lives of Hannah Wells (played by Ella Bright) and Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli). Their unexpected spark soon turns into something more…
Like a great lineage of rom-coms before it, the series starts with a fake boyfriend proposal from Hannah. A music major, she asks Garrett, a star hockey player, to pretend in exchange for her helping him with his grades. Set against an academic backdrop of Briar University, fans of love, heartbreak and self-discovery may have found their next favourite show.
This eight-episode series is streaming on Amazon Prime Video and is available to watch now. Great news for fans: it’s been officially renewed for a second series, too.
But the Condé Nast Traveller team were particularly intrigued by the series’ locations, so here is everything we know…
Where was Off Campus filmed?
University of British Columbia
The University of British Columbia in Vancouver offers the gorgeous college shots we’ve come to love. The university also serves as the setting for the show’s fictional Briar University. Shot across summer and autumn, locals may recognise the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre and the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. The sports facility was used to shoot several ice hockey sequences. Spanning approximately 402 hectares, the university suits the series’ arc with the lively atmosphere of college life.
The DOUGLAS Autograph Collection Hotel
Another key location from the series is The DOUGLAS Autograph Collection Hotel in Vancouver. The luxury hotel serves as Dean’s New York apartment, where he and Allie stayed for Thanksgiving. The hotel’s lavish Den Suite provided the perfect atmosphere for these scenes with its chic interiors, a private lounge, and sweeping views of BC Place Stadium.
The cast of Off Campus shot some scenes at The Heatley, a cosy hangout spot in Vancouver. Nestled in the Strathcona neighbourhood, this pub and live music venue was used as Malone’s bar and for several social and nightlife scenes in the series. Known for its laid-back vibe and inviting ambience, this location mirrored the carefree spirit of college life portrayed in the series.
The Heatley
Capturing the carefree, intimate fun of a college bar isn’t easy, but the series found what they needed in The Heatley, a cosy hangout spot in Vancouver. The Strathcona neighbourhood pub and live music venue was used as Malone’s bar and also for a handful of social and nightlife scenes.
Will there be a season two of Off Campus?
Just weeks after Season 1 of Off Campus captivated audiences around the world, the series’ official Instagram account posted a teaser that a second season was definitely on the cards. The post read, “One couple made a deal. The next one is keeping the score. ❤️🔥🏒. From Garrett & Hannah to Dean & Allie — the Off Campus love story continues in Season 2.”
It appears that the TV bosses at Prime knew Off Campus would be a hit long before we were all drawn in. According to British Vogue, “Off Campus was renewed for a second season back in February, long before the first season even premiered this May”.

In an interview with Variety, series creator and Louisa Levy said that “all eight scripts [for Season 2] are written and we have a very exciting plan for the season. I don’t want to say anything yet — but I think book fans will be very excited”.
“We are so excited to continue Allie and Dean’s story as our primary romance of season two,” Off Campus writer Louisa Levy said in a statement. “But if you fell in love with Hannah and Garrett, don’t worry – they will still be an integral part of our robust ensemble. We’re looking forward to telling the next chapter of everyone’s story. There’s a lot for fans to look forward to!”
