Maxton Hall — The World Between Us took Prime Video by storm when it released in May 2024. The German-language romance series, adapted from Mona Kasten’s book Save Me, follows the epic enemies-to-lovers romance between Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) at their posh prep school Maxton Hall.
The show dominated Prime Video and became the streamer’s biggest international original launch ever. Naturally, it didn’t take any time for the young adult drama to be renewed for a second season. Scroll down for the latest updates about Maxton Hall Season 2.
Maxton Hall Season 2 does not have a release date yet, but it will likely be 2025 before we see new episodes.

The series was renewed just eight days after it dropped on Prime Video. Germany’s Prime Video Instagram page shared photos of Hardung and Herbig-Matten to celebrate the renewal. “Back to school. #MaxtonHallOnPrime will return for S2,” the caption read.
Of course, Hardung and Herbig-Matten will return as James and Ruby in Maxton Hall Season 2. The second season will follow the events of Kasten’s sequel Save You.
Given how the first season ended, you can likely expect Sonja Weißer to return as Lydia Beaufort, as well as Fedja van Huêt as Mortimer Beaufort, Ben Felipe as Cyril Vega, and Justus Riesner as Alistair Ellington. Official casting will be announced at a later date.
The first season ended with James reeling over his mother’s sudden death. Hardung told TV Insider that James’ loss and his family drama will be a “setback” for his relationship with Ruby moving forward. “There’s that contrast there where he’s looking at Ruby’s happy family and just seeing the blood on his own hand [after a fight with his father] and the ring with his family name. It just pushes him over the edge of trying to really protect her from his mess,” he said.
Hardung hinted that Season 2 would be “really dark” for James because of what happens in Save You. Herbig-Matten also noted that she hoped to see Ruby “still fighting for her dream” and “staying with this ambitious goal and fighting for Oxford and not changing for him [James] and helps herself and sets boundaries” in a second season.
Hardung wasn’t exaggerating when he said Season 2 would be rough for James. In the book, James goes on a self-destructive streak as he grieves his mother’s death. He gets drunk at a party and kisses a girl who is not Ruby. James quickly realizes his mistake and works to earn Ruby’s trust again. The book ends with Ruby expelled from Maxton Hall after someone sends photos of Ruby and Mr. Sutton to the principal, which leaves her future at Oxford University in jeopardy.
It’s unclear at the moment if Maxton Hall will return for a third season. However, rest easy, Ruby and James fans. There’s a good chance the show will go three for three. There is a third book in the Maxton Hall series called Save Us.
