Prime Video subscribers have been treated to some of the finest streaming content so far in 2026. Legally Blonde fans finally got their prequel series with the debut of Elle; the ever-brilliant Sophie Turner turned in one of the most underrated performances of the year so far in Steal; The Summer I Turned Pretty fans received their latest must-watch compact town romance in Every Year After; Guy Ritchie returned to TV with Young Sherlock; and Riz Ahmed delivered the best series on Prime Video this year so far with Bait.

But of all the shows so far released on Prime Video this year, none have proven more addictive than Off Campus. Based on a series of books by Elle Kennedy, and adapted for the screen by Louisa Levy, this steamy eight-episode series follows Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli as music major and hockey captain, Hannah and Garrett, as love begins to blossom in the fictional Briar University. The series was a huge hit with critics and audiences, scoring 91% from the former and 88% from the latter on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Therese Lacson agreed, describing the show in her review as “the perfect blend of sizzling romance and soapy drama.”

By reaching 36 million global viewers in its first 12 days of release, Off Campus became a surprise phenomenon and even ranked as Prime Video’s third most-watched series launch of all time, falling miniature of just The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout. However, in the 18-34 age demographic, Off Campus is Prime Video’s biggest debut ever, even higher than The Summer I Turned Pretty​​​​​​. Almost three months since the finale premiered, Off Campus is still a major hit. At the time of writing, the series is the most-watched show on Prime Video in the world, outperforming the much newer hit Ride or Die.

Your Universe Has Been Chosen
You Belong In…

Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.


A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars

You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is enormous.

  • You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
  • You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
  • Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
  • The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to apply it for something larger than yourself certainly is.


Middle-earth

Lord of the Rings

You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.

  • Middle-earth is a world of old wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough compact acts of courage accumulate.
  • You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
  • Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something hefty across a very long distance.
  • Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.


The Wizarding World

Harry Potter

You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.

  • The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
  • You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
  • Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
  • That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.


Westeros · The Known World

Game of Thrones

You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You apply it.

  • Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
  • You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
  • Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are piercing enough to know which one lasts longer.
  • Winter always comes. You are already prepared.


The United Federation of Planets

Star Trek

You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.

  • Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
  • You would belong here because you are fundamentally positive about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being straightforward about how demanding that achievement is.
  • The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
  • You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.

Is ‘Off Campus’ Getting a Second Season?

No hit this huge wouldn’t win a second season. Even before the first had aired, back in February, Off Campus ​​​​​​was greenlit for a second season. There will be a huge shake-up for Season 2, as the romance between Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) takes center stage. Production is reportedly underway, although we still have no idea when Season 2 might debut.
