Prime Video’s romantic drama series Off Campus has taken another major step in its global journey as the cast brought the highly anticipated adaptation to Brazil for a special promotional event in São Paulo. The stars of the series walked the blue carpet at the Jockey Club, where they were welcomed by excited fans eager to meet the actors behind the characters that have already become favorites among romance lovers.
Leading the event were Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli, who portray the series’ central couple Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham. The two actors quickly became the focus of attention as Brazilian fans celebrated the arrival of the stars responsible for bringing one of the most talked-about romance stories from the book world to life.

The Brazilian event also welcomed several members of the cast, including Jalen Thomas Brooks, Antonio Cipriano, Stephen Kalyn, Mika Abdalla, Josh Heuston, and series showrunner Louisa Levy. Together, the group introduced the first season of Off Campus, an adaptation inspired by Elle Kennedy’s bestselling book series that gained a massive following among readers, especially through the BookTok community on TikTok.
The series begins with an adaptation of The Deal, the first book in the four-part Off-Campus collection that became a worldwide romance phenomenon. The story follows Hannah Wells, a hardworking college student who struggles to get the attention of the person she likes, and Garrett Graham, the popular captain of the Briar University hockey team who needs to improve his grades to stay on the team.
Their lives unexpectedly cross when they create an agreement that appears simple at first. Hannah agrees to help Garrett with his studies, while Garrett promises to help her make her crush jealous. What begins as a fake arrangement slowly becomes something far more complicated as both characters discover feelings they never expected.
The emotional foundation of Off Campus has been one of the main reasons the franchise gained such a loyal audience. Beyond the romance between Hannah and Garrett, the story explores friendship, personal growth, insecurity, ambition, and the challenges of navigating young adulthood.
During the Brazilian event, the cast shared their excitement about meeting fans and celebrating the series internationally. Before the special screening of part of the first episode, Belmont Cameli greeted the audience warmly, saying, “Bom dia divas, te amo,” while Ella Bright expressed her gratitude by saying, “Nós amamos muito vocês, obrigada por nos receberem.”

The warm reception reflected the growing popularity of the series, which has quickly become one of Prime Video’s major romantic releases. The combination of a beloved book adaptation, charismatic young actors, and a storyline centered around emotional connections has helped Off Campus build a strong fanbase worldwide.
For Belmont Cameli, the role of Garrett Graham represents one of the biggest milestones of his career. Born and raised in Naperville, Illinois, Belmont developed an interest in entertainment after exploring modeling before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He gained attention through roles such as Jamie Spano in the Saved by the Bell reboot, but Off Campus introduced him to a much larger international audience.
His portrayal of Garrett combines confidence, vulnerability, and emotional depth, qualities that made the character popular among fans of the original novels. Garrett’s journey is not only about romance but also about learning responsibility and understanding what he truly wants beyond his image as a successful athlete.
Ella Bright, who plays Hannah Wells, also became a key figure in bringing the emotional center of the story to life. Her character represents determination and intelligence, showing a young woman who learns to trust herself while navigating complicated feelings and relationships.

Meanwhile, the supporting cast members have also attracted attention for their roles as members of the Briar Hawks hockey team and Hannah and Garrett’s close circle. Jalen Thomas Brooks portrays Tucker, Antonio Cipriano plays Logan, Stephen Kalyn takes on the role of Dean, and Josh Heuston appears as Justin Kohl, the person who initially captures Hannah’s attention.
Stephen Kalyn’s role as Dean Di Laurentis has become especially interesting among fans of the books. The actor, who has a real-life connection to hockey after playing the sport since childhood, brings authenticity to the character of the charismatic Briar University athlete.
Josh Heuston, meanwhile, brings another layer to the story through Justin Kohl, the musician who becomes part of Hannah’s original romantic goal. His presence adds another emotional complication to the relationship between Hannah and Garrett as the fake romance begins to transform into something real.
Behind the success of Off Campus is also the creative vision of showrunner Louisa Levy, who worked to translate Elle Kennedy’s popular novels into a visual format while maintaining the emotional elements that attracted readers in the first place.

The series’ popularity reflects the continuing influence of romance adaptations in modern entertainment. Stories that first build large communities through books and social media platforms are increasingly becoming major streaming successes, and Off Campus represents this new generation of fandom-driven productions.
The Brazil promotional event became another important moment in the journey of the series, showing how the connection between the cast and viewers extends beyond the screen. Fans who discovered Hannah, Garrett, and the Briar Hawks through books and streaming platforms now have the opportunity to celebrate the story together in real-world events.

As the first season continues to attract attention, expectations are growing for the future of the franchise and the possibility of exploring more stories from Elle Kennedy’s universe. With a talented cast, passionate fanbase, and characters who have already captured viewers’ emotions, Off Campus continues to establish itself as one of the most talked-about romance series of its generation.
