One of the day’s biggest surprises came when Jennifer Lopez made an unannounced appearance during the Off Campus celebrations, performing her new single Everything’s Fine alongside her 2011 hit On the Floor, which has enjoyed renewed popularity through the series.
Lili Reinhart, who stars in The Love Hypothesis, said she was immediately drawn to the story and its central characters as production came together.
“I just really fell in love with Olive and Adam as I read the script and as I read the book. I thought they were so charming.”
Alongside cast panels and behind the scenes conversations, fans also enjoyed live music performances, interactive experiences and exclusive previews from a range of upcoming Prime Video titles, marking the platform’s first dedicated celebration of its expanding YA catalogue.
