‘Off Campus’ TV Series Based on Elle Kennedy Romance Books Coming to Amazon Prime Video
Elle Kennedy’s “Off-Campus” books are getting the screen treatment from Amazon Prime Video, which has ordered a series adaptation of the romance novels.
Louisa Levy (“Death and Other Details,” “The Flight Attendant”) will serve as showrunner of the series.
The first season of the show will be based on the first book, titled “The Deal,” which was published in 2015. There are five “Off-Campus” books in total.
Per Prime Video, “A college-set romantic drama based on the bestselling book series, ‘Off Campus’ follows the unlikely romance between a wry, hockey-hating music major and Briar University’s playboy star center. The series depicts the elite ice hockey team, and the women in their lives, as they grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery — forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood.”
Levy will executive produce the series alongside Temple Hill’s Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen (“Twilight,” “The Fault in our Stars”), Leanna Billings via Billings Productions and Neal Flaherty. The project was shepherded by Temple Hill executive Annika Patton and will be overseen by Temple Hill TV exec James Seidman. Author Kennedy will serve as producer alongside Amazon MGM Studios.
“Elle Kennedy’s beloved ‘Off Campus’ series has resonated with a massive audience by tackling relatable topics from self-discovery to the power of connection,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. “With Louisa Levy guiding our series alongside Temple Hill, Leanna and Neal, our global Prime Video customers will fall in love with this story all over again.”
Levy is represented by UTA and Lichter Grossman Nichols Adler. Kennedy is repped by Kimberly Brower at Brower Literary & Management. Flaherty is represented by The Nord Group. Temple Hill is represented by UTA and Ziffren.
