The romantic drama ‘Off Campus’ has made a significant impact on Amazon Prime Video just days after its debut. The series centers around college students at Briar University, where a fake relationship gradually evolves into genuine feelings between the main characters, Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, portrayed by Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli.

According to Amazon, the show attracted approximately 36 million viewers within its first 12 days of streaming. While the company does not specify how it defines a “viewer,” this figure may include individuals who only watched part of an episode. Nevertheless, this performance is still regarded as a major success.

Amazon also confirmed that ‘Off Campus’ is now the third biggest debut series in the platform’s history, following ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ and ‘Fallout’ in terms of initial viewership. This places it ahead of several popular titles like ‘The Boys,’ ‘Reacher,’ and ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ when comparing debut performance in the same timeframe.

The show has particularly resonated with younger audiences. Among women aged 18 to 34, ‘Off Campus’ stands as the most-watched debut in Amazon Prime Video history. This demographic has been crucial for the platform, especially following the success of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ which also garnered a strong fan base among teens and young adults.

Peter Friedlander, head of global TV at Amazon MGM Studios, praised the enthusiastic response from viewers. He stated, “Obsession is officially in session at Prime Video, thanks to the fans who have embraced ‘Off Campus.’ We couldn’t be happier to see such a passionate community come together around Season 1 of creator Louisa Levy and co-showrunner Gina Fattore’s interpretation of Elle Kennedy’s beloved story. When you earn trust and deliver for an audience, they show up – and they’ve certainly done so for ‘Off Campus.’”

Created by Louisa Levy and co-showrun by Gina Fattore, the series is based on the popular ‘Off-Campus’ book series by Elle Kennedy. The narrative focuses on themes of romance, friendship, and college life, highlighting relationships that develop over time.

The supporting cast features Mika Abdalla, Stephen Kalyn, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Antonio Cipriano, Josh Heuston, and Steve Howey, among others. The series also includes recurring characters played by a diverse ensemble that enriches the world of Briar University.

Overall, ‘Off Campus’ has emerged as one of the strongest new launches on Amazon Prime Video. Its impressive early numbers, coupled with robust audience engagement, indicate that it has quickly become one of the platform’s standout romantic drama hits of 2026.
