Producers of the television series Off Campus have opted to adapt the third novel, The Score, for the upcoming second season. This decision prioritizes the storyline of Allie Hayes due to her established connection with the lead character from the first season.
Why it matters
The change in adaptation order allows the show to build upon existing character relationships rather than following the chronological order of Elle Kennedy's source novels.
The series currently features actor Antonio Cipriano, who is 26 years old, as the character John Logan. While the original novels were released starting in 2016, producers are currently moving forward with the third installment for the second season.

Season Trajectory
This production shift follows a common pattern in the streaming industry where series adaptations alter source material sequencing to prioritize character arcs. By skipping the second book for now, the show adjusts its narrative roadmap to maintain momentum between seasons.
Fans of the book series can expect the second season to bypass the events of the novel The Mistake in favor of the third book. This scheduling choice shifts the focus to the character Allie Hayes for the upcoming season.
The takeaway
Adaptations often prioritize character development over strict chronological fidelity to their source material. Viewers should prepare for deviations from the book sequence as the series continues its run on Prime Video.
