Prime Video has just elevated the excitement for the upcoming Season 2 of “Off Campus” by introducing Canadian actors Stephen Kalyn and Mika Abdalla as the show’s central couple, Dean Di Laurentis and Allie Hayes. Kalyn portrays the charming hockey defenseman, originating from Markham, Ontario, with a real-life background in hockey. Abdalla takes on the role of Allie, a student at Briar University who works at the college bar Malone’s, frequented by Dean and his hockey teammates.
The announcement of the new season’s focus shift was accompanied by a brief video and promotional images, aligning with the series’ adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s novels.
