In a recent interview with TV Guide, Off Campus creator Louisa Levy has finally revealed which main character won't be returning for season 2. The TV writer confirmed that Justin, portrayed by Josh Heuston in the first season, won't be making an appearance in the upcoming season. "Not next season, but I have a deep affection for Josh, and I would love to find a way to bring Justin back at some point," she told the outlet. "We didn't get a chance to meet Stella, who is the person he ends up with in the book. So maybe we'll find a way to integrate him into a future season," she continued.

Louisa further revealed that it wasn't always the plan for Justin to be absent. "We don't have him [available] next season, but never say never," she said.
In February, Deadline reported that Off-Campus had been renewed for a second season. "Off-Campus captures the kind of emotionally charged, character-driven storytelling that truly resonates with our global Prime Video audience," said Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios at that time. "With its passionate fan base, rich source material, and an incredible creative team bringing Briar U to life, we knew that this series had the depth and momentum to continue beyond its first season," he continued.
"Set against the high-intensity world of college hockey, the series explores deeply personal journeys and is brought to life by a tremendously talented cast whose chemistry and authenticity make every moment feel real. We have great confidence in the way Louisa has mastered this adaptation, and we're excited to give fans even more of the romance, friendship, and heart that define the series," he added.
For those unfamiliar, the first season of Off Campus premiered on Prime Video on May 13th.
