Amazon Prime Video is exploring its streaming list, and this latest German-language drama series, Maxton Hall—The World Between Us, has proven to be a huge success. Shortly after its debut, it broke the internet, surpassing all the series on the platform. This led many to wonder whether there would be a Maxton Hall Season 2. If you are also guessing the same, don’t worry.
That’s because we have pleasant news for you. Not only is the series returning, but it has also revealed the details of its future developments. So, without further ado, let’s head to see what is cooking for us.
Based on Mona Kasten’s trilogy Save Me, Maxton Hall focuses on Ruby Bell, an intelligent and determined scholar at Maxton Hall, a prestigious boarding school. She aspires to enroll in Oxford, but as she navigates the academic challenges, she enters the romantic territory with James Beaufort, heir of the Beaufort family’s fortune. This creates more challenges in Ruby’s life as she faces several challenges while fighting against her wealthy peers. But can she make it to Oxford? Let’s see.
Maxton Hall Season 2 Is Back!
Prime Video’s German-language series Maxton Hall debuted in May 2024, and it quickly found massive success despite its non-US title. The series was the most-watched show on the streaming platform in the first week of its premiere, so the streaming platform didn’t take time to renew it for the second season.
Germany’s Prime Video Instagram page also announced: “Back to school #MaxtonHallOnPrime will return for S2.” The series also received a 67% positive reception on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 stars out of 10 on IMDb. Shortly after the renewal announcement, Amazon MGM Studios Head of Scripted TV Petra Hengge shared that after the series finished, they started showing it to their international colleagues.
She added that they had evidence that female-driven romance programming was a blockbuster hit. Examples of these are The Summer I Turned Pretty and Culpa Mia. Thus, they greenlit Maxton Hall, which became a global hit shortly after its debut.
Hengge added that it was amazing to see the audience’s reaction. The Amazon MGM Studios head said that she was surprised to learn the reception the series is receiving outside of Germany. Hengge also thanked the international audience for making the series a global hit. She said, “I want to have people laugh, I want to have people cry, I want to help people feel better, and to sleep well afterward.”
Maxton Hall Season 2: Production Status
A month after the series was announced, Maxton Hall Season 2 entered production. On June 12, 2024, the series announced that the second season was in production. Germany’s Prime Video Instagram account shared behind-the-scenes videos of Herbig-Matten and Hardung. Typically, filming takes five to six months to wrap up.
However, since this is a romance dramedy, it didn’t take much time to wrap filming. Earlier this September, Deadline reported that the second season has finished filming. The filming took place in Germany, and Christoph Schneider, Country Director at Prime Video Germany and Austria shared the challenges of filming Maxton Hall Season 2.
He said everyone was a show fan, so it was tough to shoot secretly. He added, “So many were there” on the first day of the filming. This created a challenge for the team. However, they somehow managed to make it possible. Since filming has been wrapped up, the show will soon enter the post-production phase.
Who Will Be In Maxton Hall Season 2 Cast?
Since the series focuses on Ruby Bell and James Beaufort, it’s safe to say that the main cast members, Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung, will return. Maxton Hall Season 2 will also explore the dynamics between the two and how things turn challenging between the two. The other cast members who can return for the next run include Sonja Weißer as Lydia Beaufort, Fedja van Huet as Mortimer Beaufort, and Eidin Jalali as Graham Sutton.
We can also expect to see more of Andrea Guo as Lin Wang, Martin Neuhaus as Angus Bell, and Runa Greiner as Ember Bell. Ben Felipe as Cyril Vega, Julia-Maria Kohler as Helen Bell, and Govinda Gabriel Cholleti as Keshav “Kesh” Patel will also return for Maxton Hall Season 2.
However, Clelia Sarto won’t return as Cordelia Beaufort, as she died in the first season’s finale. There is a chance that she might return in flashbacks, but it remains to be seen. In addition, the show might see some new faces as well. Although nothing is known to date, we will update you later.

What Will Happen In Maxton Hall Season 2?
Prime Video recently released the official synopsis of Maxton Hall Season 2, which suggests the show will become more dramatic. Ruby finally makes it to Oxford, fulfilling her greatest life goal. In addition, she has a passionate night with James in Oxford, making everything go perfectly smoothly for her. However, things turned challenging for James after he lost his mother.
This change in fate creates complications in James’ life, which will also be reflected in Ruby’s life. Now, Ruby desires to return to her old life, but for what? She was an unknown student at Maxton Hall, and returning to that place would only make things more complicated for her. However, she can’t forget James.
She wants to be with him as he has never given up on her and is always there for her. This will create an urge to return to James, who is dealing with other challenges. Herbig-Matten told Yahoo Entertainment that Maxton Hall Season 2 will see a lot of drama and more ups and downs. James is working on himself after losing his mother. He will be a changed man. So does Ruby.
She will work to make her place in Oxford. However, she won’t try to change for him, creating boundaries between them. This will greatly affect their relationship. Herbig-Matten also added that season 2 will focus on female friendships. The following season will explore the dynamics between Lydia, Lin, and Ember.
Will There Be Maxton Hall Season 3?
Since the show is based on Mona Kasten’s trilogy book series, it’s expected to return with the third season. Scheider said that they had great IP. The series perfectly tells the story of two main actors who are doing their best in their respective fields, and everything is going great. During the interview, Scheider added that we have Maxton Hall Season 3.
While he shared that the series will run for three seasons, an Amazon rep shared that the streamer hasn’t confirmed this. The rep said that they have options on all three books. However, this doesn’t mean the series will return with the third season.
Neither the streaming platform has ordered Maxton Hall Season 3 for production, but they all wish to return with the third season. In addition, the head of Amazon has also shared that the series is considered brand-defining for Amazon. Such a success suggests that they can return with one more season. However, fans have to wait for that.
Maxton Hall Season 2 Release Date
As of now, Prime Video hasn’t announced the Maxton Hall Season 2 release date. But fans of Maxton Hall can breathe a sigh of relief. That’s because the show has already wrapped up filming. So, the post-production work won’t take much time to conclude. Considering this, it’s safe to say that the second season will be released in early 2025, unlike the first season, which took two years to return. This is all for now.
