“Maxton Hall” Season 2 Is Underway — Here’s Everything to Know About the Series' Return

'Maxton Hall,' Prime Video’s German-language hit series was renewed for a second season just a month after its premiere on May 9, 2024

Amazon Prime Video’s German-language drama series, Maxton Hall — The World Between Us, captivated audiences near-instantly, rising to the charts as the most-watched non-English show the same week of its release in May 2024. Just one month later, the show was renewed for a second season.

Adapted from German author Mona Kasten’s trilogy, Save Me, Save You and Save Us, the series centers on Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten), a determined scholar at a prestigious boarding school, Maxton Hall, with aspirations to attend Oxford. As Ruby navigates the academic landscape amongst her wealthy peers, she ultimately gets entangled in an unlikely romance with James Beaufort (Damian Hardung), heir to his family’s fortune.

Despite attempts to ignore a growing spark, the two develop a nurturing romance as they bond over personal challenges and family secrets. However, the season ends in a devastating finale, with James grieving his mother’s sudden passing and then finding himself an outsider (literally) of Ruby’s seemingly happy life without him.

Here’s everything to know about Maxton Hall season 2, and what to expect from the breakout series’ second season.

What is Maxton Hall season 2 about?

According to the official Prime Video synopsis, season 2 picks up right where the season 1 finale left off.

“After their passionate night together in Oxford and her greatest life goal within reach, everything seems to be going perfectly for Ruby,” the synopsis reads. “But a stroke of fate in James' family changes everything and James himself, of all people, brings her back from cloud nine to a harsh reality.”

The summary concludes by noting Ruby’s desire for her “old life back,” where she was seemingly an unknown student at Maxton Hall. Still, she “can’t forget James — especially since he's doing everything he can to win her back.”

In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Herbig-Matten said fans can look forward to “a lot of drama” in the second season.

“You can expect a lot of drama and ups and downs,” she told the outlet. “[James] is changing a lot and working on himself. [Ruby] is doing her thing and she’s not changing for him. She’s [setting] boundaries and that’s really important.”

Herbig-Matten also added that there will be a significant emphasis on female friendships in season 2.

“We focus a lot on the female friendships with Lydia, Lin and Ember,” she said. “I’m really happy about it.”

Who is in the cast of Maxton Hall season 2?

A full cast list hasn’t been released, but Prime Video posted side-to-side selfies of series stars Herbig-Matten and Hardung with the caption “Back to school,” so fans can expect the two to return. Additionally, series regulars such as Sonja Weißer (Lydia), Ben Felipe (Cyril), Fedja van Huêt (Mortimer), Runa Greiner (Ember), Justus Riesner (Alistair) and Andrea Guo (Lin) will also return to their roles.
