The Off Campus stars are the latest celebrities trying their hand at the increasingly popular genre. Abdalla and Kalyn — who play whimsical theater girl Allie Hayes and hockey player Dean Di Laurentis, respectively — are set to narrate Rent Free, a Quinn Original audio erotica, with the first episode dropping on May 27.
Quinn first teased the new production on May 25 by sharing a cheeky video on Instagram, featuring Dean's hockey helmet and Maverick costume, set to Jennifer Lopez's "On The Floor" — the heady soundtrack to Dean and Allie experiencing sparks of attraction for the first time.

The next day, the audio erotica platform shared another clip, this time a range of snippets featuring Abdalla and Kalyn during production (though the frames carefully cropped out parts of their faces, so as not to confirm the internet's suspicions just yet).
"We heard you guys like rollercoasters 🎢," the post's caption read, another nod to an iconic exchange between Dean and Allie on Off Campus.
Another post later that day revealed some of the forthcoming audiobook's tropes: "Accidental roommates. Best friend’s brother. Black cat x golden retriever," the second post's caption read. "You ready?"
Finally confirming Abdalla and Kalyn as the narrators behind the new book, Quinn posted a video of the pair of actors gearing up to step into their new roles — but in a familiar romantic dynamic. In the clip, Abdalla had just introduced herself when Kalyn burst through the door with all his hockey gear, appearing much like his Off Campus character.
"We're playing recent college grads finding their way in New York City. No hockey," Abdalla said. Seemingly crestfallen, Kalyn replied, "But I brought my stick."
In the post's caption, Quinn revealed the first episode is set to drop May 27 at 9 p.m. PST.
Abdalla and Kalyn quickly became fan favorites in the first season of Off Campus, the Prime Video series adaptation of the novels by Elle Kennedy. The first season, which debuted earlier this month, is based the first book, The Deal, and follows the love story between music major Hannah Wells and hockey team captain Garrett Graham, who are best friends with Allie and Dean, respectively.
Allie and Dean's love story comes in Kennedy's third novel of the series, The Score. While the instantly-popular TV series has already been renewed for a second season, it's not yet clear which book or couple it will spotlight.
