About the retreat

In the last few years The Summer I Turned Pretty, Off Campus, the Culpables franchise and Maxton Hall – The World Between Us have been huge success stories for the platform. Now, Prime Video is doubling down with its biggest-ever YA slate, led by a new wave of non-English language International Originals from Spain, France, Germany, Italy and India.

To mark the moment, Prime Video hosted the Obsessed Retreat: Class of '26 (September 7–8), a two-day immersive event in the Bavarian Alps. Drawing inspiration from the campus-style settings at the heart of many International Originals, including Maxton Hall – The World Between Us, Campus Drivers, Perfect Liars and more – the event brought together on-screen talent, authors and exclusive first looks from Prime Video's YA lineup.

“We know that the audiences for our YA movies and series are shaping culture in real time — and they don't just watch, they feel deeply, they obsess,” said Nicole Clemens, VP and Head of International Originals, Amazon MGM Studios. “What excites me most about this next wave is that it's being led by non-English language International Originals. These are stories rooted in local culture with universal appeal, and we believe they'll break out globally in the same way. The slate represents our biggest commitment yet to young adult audiences — and we're just getting started.”

In a statement, Ananya Panday said of her character Bella, “She's just a girl who's defined by her labels, who's very lost, who's either a trophy wife or a trophy daughter, and she kind of wants to step out of all of that and create something for herself. Realising why she is the way she is made me find the love in her heart.”
