Las cifras que han salido están lejos de ser exactas.

The creator of the popular romantic series Off Campus has denied rumors circulating online about unequal pay for lead actors, calling the figures "far from accurate." The American show, which follows a hockey-themed romance, has achieved significant success and officially became the most-watched debut title ever on Prime Video among women aged 18 to 34. The controversy emerged after claims surfaced on social media suggesting that lead actress Ella Bright, who portrays Hannah Wells, was paid significantly less than her co-star Belmont Camelii, who plays Garrett Graham. These allegations were amplified by a podcast called In the Vault, hosted by Ali Gray and Shane Sutherland. According to their episode, Camelii earned $30,000 per episode, while Bright received $20,000. Showrunner Louise Levy responded to the rumors with a comment on Instagram beneath a post spreading the information. She urged critics to "check your sources" and clarified that the numbers were inaccurate. While acknowledging the broader issue of gender pay disparity in the industry, she emphasized her role as a female showrunner fighting for equal pay within her cast. The figures cited in the podcast were not sourced by its hosts, who did not disclose how they obtained the data. This lack of transparency has raised questions about the reliability of the claims. Despite this, the discussion has sparked renewed interest in the topic of fair compensation for actors, particularly highlighting disparities faced by women in Hollywood. Prime Video confirmed plans to produce a second season of Off Campus, much to the delight of fans. However, Levy noted that the central love story between Hannah and Garrett would not drive the upcoming season. In an earlier interview with Entertainment Weekly, she explained the concept behind the continuation: "Sometimes you fall in love with a couple, and they have their happy ending, and then you wonder, 'What will they do in the next season?' I don't want them to break up, but I still want to watch them. We'll watch them. Hannah and Garrett are still part of the second season, they will be part of it, but their love story is no longer what drives the season." Levy's comments reflect a broader trend in television storytelling, where character arcs continue beyond initial relationships. This approach allows for new narratives to develop while maintaining continuity with established fan favorites. The situation highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring transparency and fairness in actor compensation. While the specific claims against Off Campus have been refuted by its creator, the conversation around pay equity continues to resonate within the entertainment industry. As production moves forward on the second season, attention will remain focused on both the creative direction of the show and the broader implications of pay practices in the sector.
