Since the TV adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s “Off Campus” novels was announced in 2024, fans of the massively popular book series have been wondering: Who is going to play Hannah Wells?

The answer is Ella Bright, the 19-year-old, British actress who will be gracing our screens when all eight episodes of “Off Campus” drop on May 13 on Prime Video — complete with a convincing American accent to boot. Bright was in the middle of studying for her A-levels when the Zoom call came in that would upend her life, and the plan she’d been working toward gave way to a leading role in one of the most anticipated streaming adaptations in years.
