Elle Kennedy’s “Off-Campus” novels are being adapted for the screen by Amazon Prime Video, which has greenlit a series based on the romance novels.

Louisa Levy (“Death and Other Details,” “The Flight Attendant”) will serve as showrunner of the series.

The initial season of the show will be based on the first book, titled “The Deal,” which was published in 2015. There are a total of five “Off-Campus” books.

Per Prime Video, “A college-set romantic drama based on the bestselling book series, ‘ Off Campus ‘ follows the unlikely romance between a wry, hockey-hating music major and Briar University’s playboy star center. The series depicts the elite ice hockey team, and the women in their lives, as they grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery — forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood.”
