Meet Ella Bright, who plays Hannah Wells in Off Campus, Amazon Prime Video’s hockey drama

Heated Rivalry’s success has seemingly sparked an appetite for hockey romances such as Off Campus – whose leading lady once played a young Kate Middleton in The Crown

Premiering on May 13, the series is based on the first book in author Elle Kennedy’s bestselling series of the same name. It follows Briar University music student Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) who strikes up a fake relationship with hockey jock Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) to draw the attention of her long-time crush. The book is one of many young adult romance novels beloved by #BookTok, TikTok’s community of readers.

If the show’s leading lady looks familiar, it’s because Bright portrayed young Kate Middleton in an episode of Netflix’s hit series, The Crown.
With Off Campus set to be her biggest role yet, here’s everything you need to know about up-and-coming actress Ella Bright.
