Unveiling the Unexpected: The Hunter Davenport Twist in Off Campus
Off Campus almost had a different ending, according to showrunner Louisa Levy. The introduction of Hunter Davenport was not initially planned but was added to set up potential future seasons. The twist with Hunter also allowed for the exploration of Dean's backstory in upcoming seasons. In the novels, Hunter is introduced as a teammate in Dean's book The Score before getting his own book in the Briar U series called The Play. The show reveals tension between Hunter, Allie, and Dean due to unresolved history involving Dean's sister, Summer. The cast and crew had to keep the Hunter twist a secret, with strict rules in place to prevent any leaks.
