It helps to be a hockey romance show coming out on streaming services in the wake of “Heated Rivalry.” Prime Video has gone all out for the release of the new series “Off Campus,” and the cast recently flew down to Brazil for several days of press.
“We’ve just been drinking a lot of coconut water today,” the show’s lead Ella Bright says. “That’s the vibe.”
The 19-year-old British actress stars as Hannah in the latest BookTok (the community on TikTok centered around books) sensation series adaptation, which is based on the 2015 book “The Deal” by Elle Kennedy. The show, out Wednesday, follows Hannah Wells, a music major who strikes a deal with the school’s star hockey player, Garrett: he needs tutoring help from her to pass a philosophy class, and she needs his help attracting the attention of her crush, Justin.
Bright was unfamiliar with the series before getting an audition, but was vaguely aware that hockey romance books were a thing.
“I had heard, every now and again, of ice hockey romance books from BookTok, and heard it circling, but I’d never heard of ‘Off Campus’ specifically,” she says.
