Beau Maxwell isn’t the focus of Prime Video’s Off Campus TV adaptation, but fans of the original books are wondering what will happen to him on the show. After all, his fate in Elle Kennedy‘s original work is hard to grapple with.
Prime’s show follows the fake-turned-real romantic relationship between Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), a talented music major at Briar University, and Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), a hockey team captain at the school.
So, where does Beau come into the story? And, more importantly, what happens to him in the original books versus the series? Here’s what we know. (Warning: spoilers from the Off Campus books and series are ahead)
@laragazzadellametro [SPOILER] Saw him and started crying. Oh, Beau Maxwell. [#offcampus #offcampusedit #deandilaurentis #fyp beaumaxwell]
Beau is first introduced in Kennedy’s book The Deal as a college quarterback, history major and, in general, the guy who has it all — the charm, the looks and the skills.
In book 2, The Mistake, Beau has a minor role, but in book 3, The Score, his presence is more prominent in the Briar University friend group.
In The Score, Beau’s childhood friendship with Dean DeLaurentis becomes an integral part of the story, and Beau’s tragic fate unravels. Beau dies, and his friend Dean’s depression takes over as he surrenders to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain.
