The alleged season one earnings of the cast of Off Campus were recently reported, and the show’s creator and co-showrunner is speaking out.
Louisa Levy commented on a podcast’s Instagram video this weekend, addressing the content of the clip where In the Vault podcast host Ali Gray talks about the gender pay gap with co-host Shane Sutherland.

The podcast claims that star Belmont Cameli was the highest earner, at $260,000 for the season, with $30,000 per episode; Josh Heuston was paid $25,000 per episode, coming to $200,000; and Stephen Kalyn and Antonio Cipriano were allegedly paid $15,000 per episode for a total of $120,000 for the season, each. Jalen Thomas Brooks was not included in their video.
However, the women of the show were reportedly earning less than some of their male counterparts.

According to the podcast, star Ella Bright, who was part of the main couple the season focused on, and her best friend on the show, Mika Abdalla, who will be the leading female lead in season two, both made $20,000 per episode, totaling $160,000.
Of course, these amounts are only rumored, and there is no official confirmation of how much the cast made for the hit series’ first season.
Creator and co-showrunner Louisa Levy saw the video and took to the comments to respond.
Louisa Levy responds to the alleged gender pay gap on Off Campus season one
In the comments of the In the Vault‘s Instagram video about the pay disparity, Louisa dispelled the claims made.
“Check your sources. These numbers are far from correct. While this is absolutely an issue in the industry, as a female showrunner I fight for gender pay parity in my cast,” she wrote, followed by a red heart emoji.
Off Campus is currently in production on the upcoming second season, which will focus on author Elle Kennedy‘s book “The Score,” which centers on Allie Hayes (Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis’ (Kalyn) romance.
