  • Axie Infinity’s Ronin Network to migrate to Ethereum next month, unlocking lower inflation and new builder rewards

    Axie Infinity’s Ronin Network to migrate to Ethereum next month, unlocking lower inflation and new builder rewards

    Ronin, the gaming-focused blockchain built by Sky Mavis to power titles like Axie Infinity, is migrating to Ethereum on May 12, the team said this week.

    The move will end a four-year run as an independent sidechain and bring major upgrades to its ecosystem.

    The migration will cut RON inflation from over 20% to under 1% and expand treasury inflows. Ronin also plans to roll out Proof of Distribution, a system that automatically rewards builders based on their contributions.

    Proof of Distribution will reward contributors based on a measurable impact, including gas spend, user growth, and trading activity. Meanwhile, treasury inflows will expand via staking allocations, sequencer revenue, and increased marketplace fees.

    The result is a more efficient, secure, and incentive-aligned network for both builders and users, according to Ronin.

    The migration requires approximately 10 hours of downtime, during which no on-chain activity will be possible, as noted by the team. Node operators must upgrade before the scheduled hardfork at block #55577490.

    What made Ronin independent in the first place

    When Sky Mavis, the Vietnamese studio behind Axie Infinity, began developing Ronin in late 2020, Ethereum’s layer 2 options were still in their infancy.

    With mainnet gas fees becoming prohibitive for the game’s growth, Sky Mavis officially launched the Ronin mainnet in February 2021 to provide the high-throughput, low-cost environment necessary to onboard millions of players.

    The move fueled Axie’s massive expansion through early 2022, but independence came with a price. In March 2022, the North Korean-linked Lazarus Group exploited the Ronin bridge and drained roughly $625 million in assets, one of the largest hacks in crypto history.

    The Ethereum ecosystem looks nothing like it did six years ago. Layer 2 solutions are battle-tested, data availability costs have plummeted, and the OP Stack processes millions of transactions daily across multiple chains.

  • Bloomberg’s Legendary Analyst Mike McGlone Shares New Bitcoin Forecast: “Keep an Eye on $75,000 This Year”

    Bloomberg’s Legendary Analyst Mike McGlone Shares New Bitcoin Forecast: “Keep an Eye on $75,000 This Year”

    Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone has published a noteworthy assessment of Bitcoin’s performance against traditional markets.

    The analysis noted that the S&P 500 and Bitcoin have exhibited similar performance since 2021, but Bitcoin’s annual volatility has been approximately three times higher. According to the analyst, this is interpreted as a signal that the “golden age” of crypto assets may be over.

    McGlone stated that the ratio between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 (Bitcoin/SPX) is currently around 11x. According to the analyst, this ratio could surpass the 14x level seen after the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first quarter of 2024, indicating that Bitcoin’s strongest performance periods are not yet behind us.

    On the other hand, the analyst stated that despite the increase in the US money supply over the past five years and the market capitalization reaching 2.4x GDP, one of the highest levels since 1928, Bitcoin has not benefited sufficiently from this growth. This indicates that Bitcoin is now more subject to fundamental economic rules and may be negatively impacted by increasing competition in the market.

    McGlone also stated that around $75,000 is a critical threshold for Bitcoin in 2026. According to the analyst, especially in a scenario where US stock markets don’t hit new records, Bitcoin remaining above this level could be decisive for market sentiment.

  • Italy slams Trump envoy proposal of taking Iran’s place in World Cup 2026

    Italy slams Trump envoy proposal of taking Iran’s place in World Cup 2026

    Italian government officials have hit back at suggestions that their national football team could still be sent to the World Cup 2026, even if already-qualified Iran does not compete at the finals.

    Since the United States-Israeli war on Iran began on February 28, Iran’s participation in this summer’s edition of FIFA’s global showpiece has been in doubt because all of the country’s group-stage matches are scheduled to be played in the US.

    The tournament is co-hosted with the US by Canada and Mexico, leading to suggestions that Iran’s games could be played at alternative venues.

    The speculation about Iran’s participation has been rife, with officials from both Iran and the US weighing in on the topic, including US President Donald Trump.

    In a statement on Wednesday, however, Iran’s government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said all necessary arrangements for the team’s effective participation in the tournament have been ensured by the Ministry of Sports and Youth.

    An envoy for Trump, though, has been quoted as suggesting that Italy, who have failed to qualify for the World Cup for a third straight edition, should replace Iran at this year’s World Cup.

    Paolo Zampolli, an Italian-American who is ⁠a US envoy for global relations, told the Financial Times that he made the suggestion to both Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

    “I’m an Italian native, and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion,” said Zampolli, who has no official connection with the World Cup ⁠or Italian football.

    The plan seems to be an effort by Zampolli to repair ties after Trump and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fell out amid the US leader’s attacks against Pope Leo XIV over the Iran war.

    The suggestion, though, did not come from Trump or anyone within his administration.

    Italian Sports Minister Andrea Abodi has rebuked the idea, saying “it ‌is not appropriate… You qualify on the pitch,” while Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti described the concept as “shameful”.

    The suggestion has also provoked embarrassment from Azzurri fans, with Italian media reminding readers that the idea has a very familiar feel.

    Italy’s main sports news websites gave the story only a passing reference, but politicians and officials were quick to reject the idea.

    “First of all, I don’t think it’s possible,” Italian Olympic Committee President Luciano Buonfiglio said. “Second, I’d feel offended. In order to go to the World Cup, you have to earn it”.

    Leading Italian coach Gianni De Biasi told Reuters it was an unlikely proposal, with any theoretical Iranian absence logically to be filled by the team behind them in the qualifiers.

    “Furthermore, I believe Italy doesn’t need Trump’s support on an issue like this. I think we can manage on our own,” he said.

    David Aganzo, president of Spain’s Association of Footballers and former head of the global players’ union FIFPRO, was a little more cautious, saying: “People who want to go to the World Cup have to earn their place on sporting merit. We all agree on that, and we’re going to make that clear to FIFA.

    “But let’s take a look at the issues involved, as there may be different perspectives or situations in this regard that we might ⁠not be aware of.”

    Football’s world governing body FIFA responded by pointing to Infantino’s previous comments on Iran’s participation.

    “The Iranian team is coming, ⁠for sure,” he told last week’s CNBC Invest in America Forum: “They really want to play, and they should play. Sport should be outside politics.”

    Italy missing third successive World Cup

    Currently, there is no suggestion that Iran will withdraw or be banned from the tournament, which Italy missed out on after losing in ⁠a playoff for the third World Cup in a row.

    Iran qualified for a fourth successive World Cup last year but, after the start of the war, requested that FIFA move the team’s three group matches from the US to Mexico – a suggestion that was rejected.

    Iran is seemingly ⁠proceeding as planned. “We are preparing and making arrangements for the World Cup, but we are obedient to the ⁠decisions of the authorities,” Iranian football federation President Mehdi Taj told reporters at a pro-government rally in Tehran on Wednesday.

    Four years ago, Zampolli, when he was a United Nations ambassador, wrote to Infantino saying that “the world is demanding” that he disqualify Iran because of the country’s poor human rights record. He suggested then that the team be replaced with Italy.

    The request was ignored as Iran took part and went out after the group stage, having lost to England and ‌the US and beaten Wales.

    In the seemingly unlikely scenario of Iran being excluded, the decision on who would replace them lies in the hands of FIFA, which, under Article Six of the World Cup regulations, is at liberty to call up any nation it chooses.

    The Asian Football Confederation would be expected to lobby hard for the replacement to come from ‌Asia, with the United Arab Emirates, who lost a qualifying playoff to Iraq last November, the obvious choice.

    The World Cup gets under way on June 11 with Iran scheduled to kick off their campaign against New Zealand in Los Angeles four days later.

  • ‘Deadliest Catch’ Sets Return Date and Reveals Plan to Address Death of Deckhand Todd Meadows

    ‘Deadliest Catch’ Sets Return Date and Reveals Plan to Address Death of Deckhand Todd Meadows

    Discovery Channel has set the premiere date for Season 22 of its hit franchise “Deadliest Catch,” and has shared further information on how the show will address the death of rookie crew member Todd Meadows.

    “Deadliest Catch” returns on Friday, May 8 at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery Channel. Episodes will feature Meadows, who joined the Aleutian Lady as a deckhand in May 2025. He died on February 25 after falling overboard; he was featured as the show was in production for the second half of its season, and scenes with Meadows were filmed in the weeks before the accident.

    According to background information shared with press, the Aleutian Lady was equipped with cameras at the time of the incident, but it will not be shown on the show out of respect for his family and loved ones.

    Per information from Discovery, the season will pay tribute to Meadows in its premiere episode, and also share how his loss has impacted the Aleutian Lady crew and the fishing community. Meadows’ contributions will continue to be featured in the following episodes.

    According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ, Meadows died from “drowning with probable hypothermia” and “submersion of body in cold water.” The Alaska Department of Health ruled that Meadows’ death was an accident.

    Here’s the logline for this season: “With a new king crab population appearing far north, the fleet relocates 225 miles to St. George Island, facing colder weather and more extreme seas than any season before as they work to sustain their livelihoods in rapidly changing waters. For the first time in decades, the captains abandon familiar fishing grounds to chase a rare breed of Red King Crab lurking in the frozen waters of the far North. This elusive catch, worth a fortune, pushes the fleet into remote territory and tests their experience and resilience at the edge of the world.”

    Among this season’s highlights, Captain Sig Hansen “launches an unprecedented covert scouting mission, deploying an underwater drone into the unknown waters in a bold attempt to locate the rare strain of king crab before the rest of the fleet arrives.”

    Meanwhile, Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski “journeys to St. George Island to share his decades of hard-earned knowledge” and Captain Jake Anderson, having lost his boat and his marriage, returns as a deckhand for the first time in 11 years. “When an unexpected opportunity emerges to restore the legendary Cornelia Marie, Jake steps back into the captain’s chair, putting his reputation and his family’s future on the line for one final shot at redemption,” the logline added.

    Fremantle’s Original Productions produces “Deadliest Catch” for Discovery. Here’s a first look:

  • Egg Coffee Is Percolating on TikTok, but May Pose Serious Health Risks

    • Egg coffee, made with whipped egg yolks, sugar, and condensed milk, is going viral on social media platforms like TikTok.
    • Experts warn that the drink may increase the risk of Salmonella contamination from raw or undercooked eggs.
    • It can also be high in sugar and saturated fat.
    • Simple swaps can make it safer and healthier.

    A sweet, creamy twist on your morning cup of coffee is going viral on social media.

    It’s called egg coffee, and it’s typically made by whisking egg yolks with sugar and condensed milk into a rich, custard-like foam, then layering it over a strong cup of joe or espresso.

    While the drink is currently trending on TikTok, it isn’t exactly new. Versions of the dessert-like beverage have been around for decades, including Vietnamese egg coffee (cà phê trứng), Swedish egg coffee, and Italian egg-based drinks like zabaglione al caffè.

    But as the drink gains popularity, some experts are warning that it can carry some serious health risks.

    One of the biggest concerns about egg coffee is how it’s made. Many recipes call for raw or lightly heated egg yolks, which can carry Salmonella bacteria.

    “Consuming egg coffee using raw or undercooked yolk does carry a salmonella risk that shouldn’t be ignored,” said Michelle Routhenstein, a preventive cardiology dietitian at Entirely Nourished.

    While some people may assume that hot coffee is enough to make the drink safe, Routhenstein warns that’s usually not the case.

    “Hot coffee does not typically reach a safe temperature to cook the egg and reduce the potential risk of salmonella contamination,” Routhenstein said.

    Salmonella infection can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, which may begin anywhere from a few hours to a few days after exposure.

    While many healthy people recover without treatment, the infection can be more serious for certain groups, including older adults, pregnant people, and those with compromised immune systems.

    Although the risk of contamination from any single egg is relatively low, food safety experts generally recommend avoiding raw or undercooked eggs when possible.

    Beyond food safety concerns, egg coffee may also come with nutritional drawbacks.

    Combined with egg yolks, it can also contribute a notable amount of saturated fat.

    “We want to be mindful of the saturated fat content that this can add into your day,” Routhenstein said.

    “Egg yolks and condensed milk can carry several grams of saturated fat, and depending on what else you are eating, this can raise apoB and LDL cholesterol levels.”

    Higher levels of LDL cholesterol have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease over time.

    While occasional egg coffee consumption is unlikely to have a major impact on health, regularly drinking high-sugar, high–saturated–fat drinks may not be the best choice for long-term health.

    For those who are curious about egg coffee, there are ways to recreate a similar texture and flavor while reducing potential risks.

    “To lower salmonella risk, we need to eliminate the raw egg yolk,” Routhenstein said.

    One option is to swap in steamed milk or barista-style plant-based alternatives, such as oat milk, to create a creamy, foamy texture without using eggs.

    These options can mimic the drink’s signature richness while avoiding the food-safety concerns associated with raw or undercooked eggs.

    Another alternative is aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas), which can be whipped into a stable foam and used as a coffee topping.

    Using aquafaba “adds an airy cloud effect to your coffee without the salmonella [risk],” Routhenstein said.

    For those who still want to incorporate eggs, using pasteurized eggs may help reduce the risk of contamination. However, experts still recommend handling them carefully and avoiding recipes that rely on raw or undercooked eggs whenever possible.

    In addition to food safety concerns, making a few ingredient adjustments can help reduce the drink’s overall sugar and saturated fat content.

    Traditional recipes often rely on sweetened condensed milk and added sugar, which can quickly increase the calorie load.

    Swapping in lower-sugar alternatives, such as unsweetened or lightly sweetened milk, may help reduce added sugars while still providing a creamy texture.

    Using lower-fat dairy or plant-based milk can also help reduce saturated fat intake. For example, oat milk or almond milk can offer a similar richness without contributing as much saturated fat as condensed milk.

    Adjusting portion sizes or treating egg coffee as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily habit can also make a difference for those looking to support heart health over time.

  • Apple TV’s upcoming For All Mankind spinoff Star City oozes Cold War-era paranoia

    Apple TV just dropped a real-deal trailer for Star City, after releasing a short teaser earlier this year. It’s a spinoff of For All Mankind, but this new show examines the alt-history space race from the Soviet perspective.

    In other words, this is a trailer steeped in Cold War-era paranoia. Secret photos are snapped, phones are tapped and characters are disappeared, all set against the backdrop of space exploration. The vibe looks decidedly different from For All Mankind, despite the parent show occasionally dabbling in Russia-based espionage.

    The vibe isn’t the only shift here. Star City isn’t doing time jumps, which is a hallmark of For All Mankind. The original show started in 1969 and season five is set in 2012. The spinoff “lives in the 1970s” and is “its own genre.” This is according to showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi.

    For the uninitiated, For All Mankind begins with Russia beating us to the Moon in the 1960s. This creates a butterfly effect that changes history in ways both big and small. Star City looks like it’ll focus on how Russia managed to land astronauts on the Moon before America and what happened to the space program in the immediate aftermath. It stars Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey and Alice Englert.

    Star City premieres on May 29 with two episodes. That’s the same day season five of For All Mankind concludes. The original show was recently renewed for a sixth and final season.

    Apple TV really has become the best streamer for sci-fi. This summer sees not just the premiere of Star City, but the second season of the multiverse-based thriller Dark Matter and season three of the dystopian adventure Silo. The platform is also home to shows like Pluribus, Severance and Foundation, among many others.

  • BMNR stock analysis: Why Tom Lee’s BitMine is set to surge

    The BitMine stock price has rebounded in the past few weeks, moving from the year-to-date low of $17.30 in February to the current $23.30. This rally may continue in the foreseeable future as Ethereum rebounds and a double-bottom pattern forms.

    Tom Lee is accumulating Ethereum aggressively

    On-chain data shows that BitMine continues to accumulate $ETH tokens aggressively. Data shows that the company likely acquired another 100k coins worth over $233 million.

    The report showed that funds moved from BitGo to make these acquisitions. They moved through three newly created wallets.

    Data compiled by CoinGecko shows that the company has been accumulating these tokens aggressively in the past few months.

    It has now bought 315k tokens in the last 30 days, bringing its total holdings to 4.9 76 million. As such, if the new buying is confirmed, it means that it will cross the 5 million mark.

    If the accumulation trend continues, the company will conclude its purchases in the coming months.

    BitMine is different from Michael Saylor’s Strategy in that its goal is to own 6 million tokens. It then aims to stake all these coins using the recently launched MAVAN product and earn about 3% annual return.

    The 6 million tokens will therefore generate an annual return of 180k coins, which are worth $420 million at the current price.

    If the price rises to $5,000 as some analysts expect, the staking revenue will be worth over $900 million a year, a notable amount for a company that has less than 10 employees.

    Tom Lee then aims to use these funds to make strategic investments in other companies. He recently invested $200 million in MrBeast’s company, an investment that will have a strong return in the next few years.

    He also aims to continue repurchasing the BMNR stock. Just recently, he announced that he will boost the repurchase authorization from $1 billion to $4 billion.

    BMNR stock has formed a bullish chart pattern

    The daily chart suggests that the BitMine stock price is about to rebound. It has formed a double-bottom pattern at $17 and a neckline at $23. This pattern is one of the most common bullish reversal signs in technical analysis.

    The stock has also flipped the Supertrend indicator from red to green, which is a bullish sign. Also, the stock has jumped above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

    Therefore, the most likely BMNR stock forecast is bullish, with the next key target being the 23.6% retracement point at $28.73. A move above that level will point to further gains to the 50% retracement point.

    Ethereum price prediction

    $ETH price chart | Source: TradingView

    BitMine’s stock recovery will depend on the performance of Ethereum, its main investment. The daily chart shows that the Ethereum price has formed an ascending triangle pattern and is now on the upper side, which also coincides with the 23.6% retracement point.

    Like BitMine, Ethereum has flipped the Supertrend indicator from red to green and moved above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

    Therefore, a combination of these patterns means that the coin will continue soaring in the near term. The main target to watch will be the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $2,960. Such a move will bring the value of BitMine’s Ethereum holdings from the current $11.59 billion to over $14.7 billion.

  • A Binance-Listed Altcoin Has Announced a Major Update

    A Binance-Listed Altcoin Has Announced a Major Update

    Cryptocurrency data infrastructure provider Pyth Network ($PYTH) announced a radical change in its economic model, shifting to a revenue-driven growth strategy.

    According to the statement, the project will accelerate infrastructure investments while moving away from a token-based incentive model and focusing on sustainable revenue generation.

    According to Pyth’s OP-PIP-100 proposal, the existing network infrastructure, Pythnet, is planned to be phased out gradually by 2026. During this process, the network’s focus will shift to Lazer, a next-generation infrastructure solution. Furthermore, Pyth Pro and Data Marketplace products, which offer data services for enterprise use, will be positioned at the center of the ecosystem.

    On the other hand, it was announced that the OIS reward mechanism will also be phased out gradually under OP-PIP-103. Reward distribution will completely cease once parameter Y is reduced to zero. However, it was stated that staking and penalty mechanisms will continue to operate. It was reported that approximately 1 billion $PYTH tokens were staked during the OIS process, covering approximately 120 data provider pools, and that no new staking proposals were offered during this period.

    With the new economic model, Pyth is shifting from growth based on token incentives to a revenue-generating structure. In this context, it has been reported that $PYTH Reserve has repurchased approximately 12 million $PYTH tokens from the open market through protocol revenues. Revenue sources include Pyth Pro services, core oracle services, and the data marketplace.

  • ‘Deadliest Catch’ Season 22 Sets Premiere; Todd Meadows’ Death Will Not Be Televised

    ‘Deadliest Catch’ Season 22 Sets Premiere; Todd Meadows’ Death Will Not Be Televised

    Deadliest Catch season 22 has set its premiere date: Friday, May 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery Channel.

    Sadly, it will be a season remembered for a tragedy. Todd Meadows, a 25-year-old deckhand on the Aleutian Lady, died as a result of an accident during production.

    Last month, Meadows’ bunkmate Trey John Green III told Page Six the Bering Sea was “calm” in the late afternoon of Feb. 20, but added the water was “only a degree or two above freezing.” The ship’s crew members were taking turns climbing into the boats to sift through crabs they’d just caught. Green said Meadows was in a pot, which was seated in the ship’s launcher, when it fell “over the rail” and into the chilly water.

    “It’s one of those things that none of us really understand,” Green, 30, said. “I don’t know what happened.”

    Meadows was “doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing,” Green added. “We’re like, ‘Holy crap, he’s gonna sink to the bottom. We’re not gonna have any way to get this pot back up.’”

    But Green says he saw Meadows escape the pot and attempt to swim. He was not wearing a life vest — none of the crew were. Meadows was in the water just “three or four minutes” before the boat’s designated swimmer retrieved him from the sea. He was already “lifeless,” Green said.

    The crew attempted CPR and used a defibrillator, but the efforts failed. They wrapped Meadows’ body in a tarp and “place[d] it in the freezer to preserve it and head[ed] back to town,” the publication wrote.

    “Everybody did everything they could do,” Green said, adding that “everything” was captured by the production’s cameras.

    Meadows’ accident was indeed filmed, but it will not be shown on TV, a person with knowledge of production says. The season 22 premiere will include a tribute to Meadows, and subsequent episodes will include footage of Todd as filmed in the weeks documented prior to his death.

    Deadliest Catch is produced by Original Productions, a Fremantle company.

    The Deadliest Catch airs on the Discovery Channel.

    Below is the official season 22 synopsis, courtesy of Discovery. Not that any of this stuff really matters in the long run.

    With a new king crab population appearing far north, the fleet relocates 225 miles to St. George Island, facing colder weather and more extreme seas than any season before as they work to sustain their livelihoods in rapidly changing waters.

    For the first time in decades, the captains abandon familiar fishing grounds to chase a rare breed of Red King Crab lurking in the frozen waters of the far North. This elusive catch, worth a fortune, pushes the fleet into remote territory and tests their experience and resilience at the edge of the world.

    In a series first, Captain Sig Hansen launches an unprecedented covert scouting mission, deploying an underwater drone into the unknown waters in a bold attempt to locate the rare strain of king crab before the rest of the fleet arrives. Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski journeys to St. George Island to share his decades of hard-earned knowledge, guiding Sig through new grounds in pursuit of the bigger, richer crab that could define his season.

    Meanwhile, after losing both his boat and his marriage, Captain Jake Anderson starts the season as a deckhand for the first time in eleven years. When an unexpected opportunity emerges to restore the legendary Cornelia Marie, Jake steps back into the captain’s chair, putting his reputation and his family’s future on the line for one final shot at redemption.

  • Prime Video’s ‘Off Campus’ Trailer: College Students Strike Up Dating Deal in Hockey Romance

    “Now you can blush,” Belmont Cameli’s Garrett Graham cheekily tells Ella Bright’s Hannah Wells in the first trailer for Prime Video’s Off Campus adaptation.

    Based on Elle Kennedy’s hit hockey romance series of the same name, the trailer for the highly anticipated first season dropped Thursday, giving fans of the book series the most substantial look at the Briar University college students yet.

    “Off Campus follows an elite ice hockey team, and the women in their lives, as they grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery — forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood,” the show’s synopsis reads. The first season is set to follow the characters from Kennedy’s first book in the series, The Deal — all-star college hockey player Garrett Graham and fellow student and singer Hannah Wells.

    The swoon-worthy trailer shows Garrett and Hannah forming the titular deal, a fake dating pact to help the hockey player’s grades and the singer’s chances at getting her crush. Throughout the two minutes, the pair show off some real chemistry.

    Other series regulars include Mika Abdalla (Snack Shack), Antonio Cipriano (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin), Jalen Thomas Brooks (The Pitt), Josh Heuston (Dune: Prophecy) and Stephen Kalyn (Gen V). Fans of the book series, will be excited to see the whole Briar U gang in the trailer. Among some of these series regulars are lead characters from other novels in Kennedy’s Off Campus series, which is presumably taking on a Bridgerton-like structure in terms of season-by-season leads. The series scored an early season two pickup in February.

    Louisa Levy serves as the co-showrunner and executive produces alongside Gina Fattore. Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and James Seidman executive produce for Temple Hill. Leanna Billings of Billings Productions and Neal Flaherty also serve as executive producers on the series.

    Prime Video will drop all episodes of the first season of Off Campus on May 13. Watch the trailer below.
