The finale introduced Hunter as Carter St. James, a character that Allie, portrayed by Mika Abdalla, mistakenly kisses at a bar, believing him to be a stranger. However, viewers were later made aware that Carter is, in fact, Hunter, who has a complicated relationship with Dean, played by Stephen Kalyn. Levy explained that this twist was not part of the original plan, but the writing team was excited about the narrative potential it offered.
“We had a different ending that I can’t reveal, as it is a spoiler,” Levy stated. The decision to have Hunter encounter Allie led to a confrontation between him and Dean, effectively setting the stage for deeper exploration of Dean’s backstory in subsequent seasons. Levy indicated that Hunter’s character, albeit a minor one in Kennedy’s *The Score*, is significant for the series moving forward.
In an interesting development, Levy has stated that all eight scripts for the second season of *Off Campus* have already been completed, though filming has yet to start. This advance preparation reflects the team’s commitment to the series and its potential to grow beyond its initial storyline. “We do already have all eight scripts, but we haven’t started shooting yet,” she confirmed.
Abdalla echoed Levy’s enthusiasm, sharing that the cast was taken aback by the dramatic cliffhanger. “I think it’s really fun to throw someone else into the mix for Allie, just fresh out of her relationship, freaking out about this relationship with Dean,” she commented. Many fans are eager to see how this love triangle will unfold, especially considering the climactic way the season concluded.
The secrecy surrounding Hunter’s character was notably intense during filming. Abdalla recounted that the cast had stringent instructions to keep the details under wraps, likening it to keeping “the nuclear codes.” The cast was instructed not to engage with Evans, either on social media or in person, adding an amusing layer to the veil of secrecy surrounding the series.
As for Hunter’s future in the series, Levy remained cryptic regarding whether Evans would be reprising his role in the upcoming season, describing him as “great” but refusing to give away any spoilers. Fans are left questioning how Hunter’s addition to the storyline will affect Allie’s relationships and whether the budding chemistry will lead to deeper emotional conflicts.
*Off Campus*, which began streaming on Prime Video on May 13, has already captivated viewers with its mix of romance and drama. The innovative approach to character development and the integration of elements from Kennedy’s wider universe suggests that there may be a lot more to explore in future seasons. With the groundwork laid in the finale, many are anticipating what comes next.
As viewers digest the surprise twist and speculate on the forthcoming narrative arcs, it is clear that *Off Campus* has set itself up for an intriguing and potentially tumultuous second season filled with complex relationships and character dynamics. The anticipation surrounding the continuation of Allie and Dean’s saga, alongside the introduction of Hunter, ensures that the show will remain a focal point of discussion among its dedicated fanbase.
