Casting whispers are already heating up behind the scenes of the upcoming Off Campus adaptation, and insiders say the search is officially on for Sabrina, Jake Connelly, and Demi.
One name quietly circling the Jake role? The brooding Grand Army actor known for playing the emotionally volatile high school hockey player with a chip on his shoulder. Apparently, he’s back for another shot after previously testing for the golden-boy athlete role in season one and losing out because fans want him cast as Jake Connelly. Also in the mix is the curly-haired singer-turned- soap actor who appears in season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty as one of the supporting character’s boyfriends that she cheats on. He also reportedly read for the campus heartthrob role during the first round of casting but didn’t make the final cut either.
But here’s where things get messy.
Sources claim the Grand Army actor already has unresolved tension with one of the breakout blonde actors currently attached to the series. Their rivalry allegedly dates back years, and some insiders think producers may avoid putting the two on set together altogether. Translation? Don’t count on him landing Jake just yet.
Meanwhile, casting for Sabrina and Demi remains under wraps, though one blonde actress from the glossy suburban drama Your Friends and Neighbors has reportedly caught the team’s attention. And if she does book it? Let’s just say production dinners could get awkward fast. The actress allegedly has history with the actor playing Hunter… yes, that Hunter, and insiders say the two were more than “just friends” before cameras ever rolled.
Looks like this college drama may already have enough off-screen storylines for a second season.
