Antonio Cipriano Reveals How India Fowler's Grace Will Impact Logan in Off Campus Season 2

Antonio Cipriano, who plays John Logan on Off Campus, is opening up about what fans can expect from his character's romantic storyline in the show's second season—and the casting of India Fowler in the pivotal role of Grace.

While Logan's love story won't fully blossom until season two, Cipriano hints that viewers will catch early glimpses of the connection forming between the two characters. He explained to People that the delayed romantic arc actually works in the story's favor.

"I'm glad that you don't see him in love in the first season," Cipriano shared. "I think it's cool that you get to know who he is as a person and the struggles that he's going through, so that when that comes in, when you meet Grace and when he gets to do that, she gets to take down his walls, and you get to see even more of that."

The actor also praised the central couple of season two, noting that Dean and Allie's relationship will be a major focus. "You're going to be rooting for them to get that love," he said, before adding excitement about Grace's introduction to the series. "Obviously, we have a Grace now, and that's very exciting. So there's going to be a little bit of that [in season 2], and we'll just see how it all plays out."

When it came time to discuss Fowler's casting, Cipriano was effusive in his praise. He revealed that the selection process involved multiple auditions with different interpretations of the character.

"I got to read with three amazing and completely individual, different versions of Grace, and they were all incredible," he explained. "India just brought something so … I don't know, she truly fell right out of the books. It was just like I was talking to Grace."

During the chemistry reads, showrunners Louisa Levy and Gina Fattore noticed something particularly special about Fowler's performance. "When we were watching the videos back, some of the chem reads, after having done it that day, [one of them] said, 'It's cool, because you can tell she has no idea what's going to come out of her mouth next,' which is so Grace, and it was so perfect."

Cipriano concluded with high enthusiasm for what Fowler will bring to the production. "She's going to bring so much to the show. She's going to elevate it, and I'm so excited for Logan and Grace's dynamic. It's perfect. She's exactly the person we need for this role. I'm excited."
