Production for the second season of the Amazon Prime Video series "Off Campus" began filming in Vancouver on Monday [1].
The return of the series to British Columbia highlights the city's ongoing role as a primary hub for North American television production. By employing local Vancouver talent and utilizing regional landmarks, the production supports the local creative economy while leveraging the city's diverse academic architecture.
Filming is taking place on the University of British Columbia campus [1]. The university serves as the stand-in for the fictional Briar University, where the story's events unfold [1], [2]. The show is described as a college romance drama [2], though some reports characterize it as a steamy hockey TV series [1].
The series previously premiered on May 13 [2]. The production consists of eight episodes [2].
Vancouver has become a preferred location for streaming giants due to its ability to mimic various North American cities. The use of the University of British Columbia provides the production with an authentic collegiate atmosphere without the need for extensive set construction, a common strategy for high-volume streaming content.
