‘Off Campus’ Star Belmont Cameli Promises Even Better Episodes as Season 2 Starts Filming

Filming on the second season of Off Campus is officially in full swing, and the first teasers are already coming directly from the cast. Belmont Cameli, who plays Garrett Graham, shared some interesting behind-the-scenes details about the making of the new episodes during a recent guest appearance on Jake Shane’s Therapuss.His comments confirm one thing: the series will continue to follow the path it took with the first season, taking several liberties with the novels by Elle Kennedy.Filming of Off Campus 2 is moving at a fast pacePrime VideoBelmont revealed that the cast has already completed filming the first two episodes of the second season. However, this is not a precise indication of the production status. In television series, in fact, episodes are often shot in blocks: instead of completing one at a time, the crew shoots together all the scenes that share the same location or the same sets from a pair of episodes. For this reason, it can happen that a scene from the first episode is shot in the morning and one from the second a few hours later, optimizing production time and costs.One of the most intriguing details concerns the scripts. Belmont said that the cast has so far only taken part in the table read for the first four episodes, so exactly half of the season. The actors, at least for now, do not yet know everything that will happen in the finale. It is a fairly common method in serial productions, and it also helps keep the plot under wraps.What Belmont did let slip, however, was his enthusiasm: he described the first four episodes as "really good", suggesting that the quality level could even surpass that of the first season.The series will continue to mix Elle Kennedy's novelsIf there was still any doubt, Belmont has definitively cleared it up: Off Campus will continue to adapt the books very freely.Add Cosmopolitan as a preferred source in your Google search results.Use your Google account to add this to your settings.The second season will be mainly devoted to the story of Dean Di Laurentis and Allie Hayes, and therefore to the third novel in the saga, but it will not limit itself to following only that book. Just as happened in the first season, the writers will include scenes from the other novels in the series as well.It is easy to imagine that storylines dedicated to Garrett and Hannah, while further elements from Logan's book could be brought forward, laying the groundwork for future seasons. And there is another character who could get much more screen time than expected: Hunter Davenport, already introduced in the first season finale and set to become increasingly important in Dean's story.A choice that has now become the series' trademark and allows the show to build a much more ensemble universe than the novels.Belmont promises that Off Campus will remain... Off CampusJeff WeddellAmong the most reassuring statements for fans is one that concerns the very identity of the series.According to Belmont, everything that made the first season recognizable will return in the new episodes as well. Without going into details, the reference seems to be to the mix that won over audiences: an ensemble narrative, spicy romance, the importance of the family you choose, and space devoted to friendships as much as to love stories.With these premises, the question is inevitable: will the second season really manage to surpass the first? If the cast's enthusiasm is any indication, expectations are already sky-high.
