Belmont Cameli is enjoying his breakthrough in the television industry, thanks to the recent Premier Video adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s beloved hockey romance novel, *Off Campus*. The show, which has proven to be a resounding success since its release in May, received an early renewal for a second season even before its debut at the 2026 Amazon Upfront event in New York City.
Cameli, who plays the character Garrett Graham opposite Ella Bright’s Hannah Wells, has returned to Vancouver for filming the highly anticipated second season. This season comes on the heels of a significant surge in viewership and popularity which has enveloped the cast and crew in a palpable buzz. Nevertheless, Cameli insists that the atmosphere on set remains refreshingly unchanged.
In a recent interview with *People*, the 28-year-old actor shared his sentiments about returning to the show. “For me, and for the cast, nothing feels different,” he stated. He attributes this stability to the collective commitment of the cast and crew to preserving the essence that made the first season a success. “We’ve protected the magic of season one, and we’re doing a great job of maintaining that,” he explained.
While the global recognition that comes with the show’s popularity could be overwhelming, Cameli has managed to keep his feet firmly on the ground. “It just feels like normal work, just the same as last summer,” he remarked, expressing the camaraderie and strong connection shared among the cast as they embark on this next chapter.
The tight-knit nature among the cast and crew appears to be a comforting factor, particularly as they navigate the heightened attention from fans while filming. “We have a job to do, and that’s what we’re focused on,” Cameli noted, explaining how he remains unfazed despite the occasional influx of fans on set. He further credited the cast’s camaraderie for helping to keep the experience enjoyable and supportive.
This grounded approach seems to stem from Cameli’s intentional decision to limit his time online. By prioritising personal connections and real-life interactions over social media engagement, he maintains a healthy perspective as his career takes off. “I don’t spend a whole lot of time online, and that’s pretty intentional,” he shared, underscoring the importance of focusing on the work rather than the noise that surrounds it.
The early renewal of *Off Campus* came in February 2026, shortly after its remarkable debut. Showrunner Louisa Levy has assured fans that the second season will build on the established excitement. “All eight scripts are written and we have a very exciting plan for the season,” Levy indicated in a conversation with *Variety*. While teasing further details, she expressed optimism that fans of the book will find much to look forward to in the new season.
As filming for season two continues, both Cameli and the rest of the cast remain engaged in exploring the narratives that have resonated with their audience. The strong collaborative spirit on set, combined with a clear vision from the creators, suggests that the upcoming season will capture the heartwarming essence that endeared the first season to viewers.
With the demand for more content surrounding the *Off Campus* universe, the buzz is expected to grow even more as fans eagerly await the next instalment. The journey for Belmont Cameli and his co-stars has only just begun, and there is no telling how far their collective momentum will carry them as they once again dive into their roles. Whether through the lens of romance or the camaraderie of their off-screen connections, it’s clear that *Off Campus* is set to become a continued focal point in contemporary entertainment.
