Bow Maxwell is not a central character in the adaptation of the series Off Campus on Prime Video, but fans of the original books are wondering what will happen to him in the show. Apparently, his fate in Ella Kennedy’s work raises many questions.
The plot of the series focuses on the romantic relationship that initially starts as fake between Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), a talented student from the music department at Briar University, and Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), the captain of the hockey team.
So how does Bow fit into this story? And more importantly, what happens to him in the original books compared to the series? Here’s what we know. (Warning: Spoilers from the books and the Off Campus series follow.)
Bow first appears in Kennedy’s book «The Deal» as a quarterback student studying history, and overall, he is the guy who has it all: charm, looks, and talent.
In the second book, «The Mistake», - Bow plays a minor role, but in the third book, «The Score», - his presence becomes more noticeable among the friends at Briar University.
In «The Score», - Bow’s childhood friendship with Dean DeLaurentiis becomes an important part of the plot, and Bow’s tragic fate unfolds. Bow dies, and his friend Dean falls into a depression, turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain.
Kennedy hinted at Bow’s presence in the series compared to the book. In an interview with Us Weekly in May 2026, she noted that viewers will get «a little taste of Bow in the first season, but he still fills the screen a bit», - praising actor Hobie Clark for his performance.
«I think Hobie is a great actor and a really nice guy», - the author said. «He had a lot of comedic moments in the season».
Bow dies in the third book, «The Score», - in a car accident after visiting his grandmother in Wisconsin. His father was driving and swerved to avoid a deer that suddenly ran onto the road. The car hits black ice and crashes into a tree, instantly killing Bow when his neck breaks upon impact. Bow’s father survives.
It is still unclear whether Bow will return in the second season
