Late last year, viewers were stunned and enthralled when HBO delivered its steamiest series of the past year. A gripping, NSFW hockey-based drama, Heated Rivalry followed the secret long-term relationship between rivals Shane and Ilya (Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie) as it twisted and turned in romantic chaos. A six-episode adaptation of Rachel Reid‘s Game Changers, the seriesearned an average of 10.6 million viewers per episode on HBO Max, which doubled following the December 26 finale, and eventually earned the green lithe for a second season.

With HBO Max boasting Heated Rivalry, Prime Video would soon debut their own alternative, Off Campus. Based on a series of books by Elle Kennedy and adapted for the screen by Louisa Levy, this eight-episode series follows the steamy, blossoming relationship between Ella Bright‘s Hannah and Belmont Cameli‘s Garrett, a music major and hockey captain who find unlikely love in the fictional Briar University.

Just like Heated Rivalry, Off Campus was a gigantic hit with critics and audiences, with Collider’s Therese Lacson describing the show in her review as “the perfect blend of sizzling romance and soapy drama.” The series defied expectations by becoming a huge streaming hit, earning 36 million global viewers in its first 12 days of release, which ranked as Prime Video’s third most-watched series launch of all time, behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout. It’s been over three months since the finale aired, and the show is still proving popular. At the time of writing, Off Campus has surpassed the 100-day mark on the Prime Video top ten in the U.S.



















































Collider Exclusive · TV Medicine Quiz
Which Fictional Hospital Would You Work Best In?
The Pitt · ER · Grey’s Anatomy · House · Scrubs

Five hospitals. Five completely different ways medicine goes sideways on television — brutal, messy, romantic, brilliant, and ridiculous. Only one of them is the ward your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out exactly where you belong.

🚨The Pitt

💉Grey’s

🔬House

🩺Scrubs

01

A critical patient comes through the door. What’s your first instinct?
Medicine under pressure reveals who you actually are.





02

Why did you go into medicine in the first place?
The truthful answer says more about you than the one you’d give in an interview.





03

What do you actually want from the people you work with?
Who you want beside you under pressure is who you are.





04

You lose a patient you fought difficult to save. How do you carry it?
Every doctor who’s worked a long shift has had to answer this question.





05

How would your colleagues describe the way you work?
Your reputation on the floor is usually more correct than your self-image.





06

How do you feel about hospital protocol and procedure?
Every institution has rules. What you do with them is a choice.





07

What does this job cost you personally?
Nobody works in medicine without paying a price. What’s yours?





08

At the end of a long shift, what keeps you coming back?
The answer to this question is the most truthful thing about you.





Your Assignment Has Been Made
You Belong In…

Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for.


Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center

The Pitt

You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown — one that puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away.

  • You need your work to be real, not romanticised — meaning over drama, honesty over aesthetics.
  • You find purpose inside the work itself, not in the chaos surrounding it.
  • You’ve made peace with the fact that this job takes from you constantly, and gives back in ways that are harder to name.
  • Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center demands exactly that kind of person — and you would not want to be anywhere else.


County General Hospital, Chicago

ER

You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most imperative.

  • You show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without needing the job to be anything other than what it is.
  • You care about patients as individual human beings, not as cases to solve or dramas to live through.
  • You believe in the system even when it fails you — and you understand that emergency medicine is about holding the line just long enough.
  • ER is television about endurance. You have it.


Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Seattle

Grey’s Anatomy

You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door.

  • You feel things fully and form deep attachments to the people you work with.
  • Your personal and professional lives are permanently, chaotically entangled — and that entanglement drives both your greatest disasters and your most remarkable saves.
  • You understand that extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection.
  • It’s messy at Grey Sloan. You would not have it any other way.


Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, NJ

House

You are drawn to the problem above everything else — the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one.

  • You’re not primarily motivated by the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it.
  • You work best when the stakes are highest and the standard answer is wrong.
  • Princeton-Plainsboro exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind — and everyone around that mind is there because they’re clever enough to keep up.
  • The only way forward here is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you do.


Sacred Heart Hospital, California

Scrubs

You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure — and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time.

  • You are heated, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field.
  • You employ humour to get through terrible moments — and at Sacred Heart, that’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy.
  • You lean on the people around you and let them lean back. The laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable here.
  • Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job. You are still very much in the middle of that process — which is exactly right.

Will There Be an ‘Off Campus’ Season 2?

Just like Heated Rivalry, Off Campus is getting a second season, one that was confirmed before the first had even aired. However, the central cast will feature a gigantic shake-up for Season 2, with Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) headlining, and Bright and Cameli returning in reduced roles. Production is reportedly underway for Off Campus Season 2, with a release date still unknown.

Off Campus has surpassed the 100-day mark in the Prime Video top ten. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.
