'Off Campus' Production Warns Against Cast Harassment, Threatens Account Removal
The official accounts for the Prime Video series 'Off Campus' issued a public warning against fans engaging in targeted harassment of cast members and their loved ones, stating that offending accounts will be removed. The show has become a viral hit, reaching 36 million viewers worldwide in its first 12 days and becoming Prime Video's third-largest series debut. The warning reflects growing concerns about online harassment that can accompany sudden popularity and young casts on social media.
The production team behind Prime Video's 'Off Campus' posted a statement on official accounts calling out viewers who are harassing cast members and their families online. The message emphasized that the community is built on respect for the real people behind the characters and warned that accounts engaging in targeted harassment would be removed from following the show's accounts. The series, based on Elle Kennedy's book series and featuring a cast of relatively young and new actors, has become a major success for Prime Video, reaching 36 million viewers worldwide in its first 12 days of release—making it the streamer's third-largest series debut behind 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' and 'Fallout.' The show's rapid rise in popularity and viral status has apparently attracted some viewers who cross the line from fandom into harassment of the actors' personal lives and relationships. The first season adapted Kennedy's novel 'The Deal,' and the upcoming second season will adapt 'The Score,' continuing the book series' model of following different couples.
