‘Off Campus’: Charlie Evans Dishes on Hunter & Allie Ahead of Season 2
What To Know
- Season 2 of Off Campus will focus on Allie and Dean.
- Hunter Davenport, played by Charlie Evans, is set to appear in Season 2.
- Charlie Evans revealed his Season 2 hopes to Swooon.
Get ready for an Allie (Mika Abdalla) and Dean (Stephen Kalyn) heavy Off Campus Season 2. Though readers of Elle Kennedy’s The Score have an idea of what to expect, there are plenty of unknowns going into the sequel season. Namely, one Hunter Davenport (Charlie Evans).
There are almost too many question marks to count when it comes to Hunter, who eventually becomes a leading man in Kennedy’s The Play. But he’s getting a very different storyline in the Prime Video adaptation so far. Before his beef with Dean comes to light, “Carter St. James V” literally charms the pants off Allie — and figuratively in the case of many viewers. Hunter becomes even more swoonworthy when he drops his guard around Allie a bit during their bar flirtation.
“I think it’s cute,” Charlie Evans told Swooon when we asked for his take on some people shipping Allie and Hunter. Others are still Team Dean — so is Evans himself — but a few fans also wouldn’t mind a Dean-Allie-Hunter love triangle.
“I think everyone’s gonna ship everyone at some point,” the actor added. “It’s one of those shows. Allie and Hunter definitely have something stronger than just what we got to see, I think. I don’t know. It breaks my heart not to see Allie and Dean together. I can’t even imagine them doing anything else but that, but it’s bound to come up again. I mean, it’s such a contentious topic, especially for Dean and Hunter.”
Now that we know Season 2 is going to dive into Dean’s world even more, Hunter is bound to be heavily featured. Beyond the new issue of Hunter and Allie’s hookup, Hunter has some rocky history with Dean’s little sister, Summer. There’s also the possibility that the show pulls from Hunter’s troubled backstory that’s revealed in his book.
“All that stuff with Allie, that vulnerability and that trauma, honestly,” Evans said of what he’s excited to possibly explore in Season 2. “Because [Hunter] does have a bit of a sad history and kind of letting those walls break down a bit, and seeing him just drop the BS and kind of get into a place of realness, just kind of shedding all of these structural walls that he’s built up because of his family and what’s expected of him, and all of that stuff, and just kind of finding who he is.”
