‘Off Campus’ Series Creator Slams Pay Disparity Reports

The drama surrounding the Prime Video series ‘Off Campus’ continues to unfold, with the show’s creator, Louisa Levy, addressing recent reports of pay disparity among the cast. Levy, who serves as a co-showrunner on the series, took to Instagram to set the record straight, calling out the figures presented by a podcaster as ‘far from correct.’

According to the podcaster, Ali Gray, from the In the Vault podcast, Season 1 lead Ella Bright, who plays Hannah Wells, earned just $20,000 per episode, compared to her counterpart Belmont Cameli, who allegedly made $30,000 per episode as Garrett Graham. However, Levy insists that these numbers are inaccurate.

Levy expressed her disappointment with the misinformation, stating, ‘Check your sources. These numbers are far from correct.’ She emphasized that while pay parity is a significant issue in the industry, she is committed to ensuring that her cast members receive fair compensation, particularly when it comes to gender pay parity.

As a female showrunner, Levy is dedicated to fighting for equal pay for her cast, particularly in a field where women are often underrepresented. She believes that this is crucial in creating a more equitable work environment, not only for the cast but also for the industry as a whole.

When asked about the passing of the baton to the new central couple in Season 2, Levy explained, ‘We love the couples, so there is a passing of the baton that happens, but we also don’t want Hannah and Garrett to ride off into the sunset and disappear from the landscape of our show. They are still very much present in season two, and are a big part of the community of characters that we’re building on the show.’

Levy’s commitment to gender pay parity is evident in her work on ‘Off Campus’. As a showrunner, she is well aware of the importance of creating a fair and inclusive work environment, and she is taking concrete steps to address the issue of pay disparity in the industry.

The ‘Off Campus’ series has gained a significant following, and the show’s creators are committed to delivering high-quality content that resonates with audiences. With Levy at the helm, the show is likely to continue to address important issues, including pay disparity, and provide a platform for underrepresented voices.

In related news, Prime Video has announced that the second season of ‘Off Campus’ will center on the characters of Allie Hayes, played by Mika Abdalla, and Dean Di Laurentis, played by Stephen Kalyn. The new season is based on Elle Kennedy’s book, ‘The Score’, and promises to bring even more drama and romance to the world of ‘Off Campus’.

The success of ‘Off Campus’ is a testament to the growing demand for diverse and inclusive storytelling. As Levy continues to push for greater representation and fairness in the industry, her work on ‘Off Campus’ serves as a beacon of hope for a more equitable future in entertainment.
