This Steamy Drama Just Scored a Season 3 Renewal—But There's Bittersweet Twist
Good news, Maxton Hall fans—Prime Video isn't making you wait in suspense. The hit German series Maxton Hall – The World Between Us has officially been renewed for a third season… and here's the wild part: Season two hasn't even premiered yet.
The announcement came straight from Prime on Monday, with a playful video shared on social media. In the clip, stars Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung (AKA Ruby and James) appear as if they're on a FaceTime call.
'Damian,' Harriet teases, 'you won't believe what just arrived.' Cue both of them holding up the script for Season three, Episode one. 'It's here!' she exclaims. 'Finally, we can share the news.'
The caption? 'Maxton Hall calling… Season 3 is happening.'
Along with the exciting news of a third season, fans also got a bittersweet update—it'll be the show's last. 'One last time, back to school,' Damian Hardung said in the clip.
Naturally, the fandom exploded. 'SEASON 3?! OH MY GOD PRIME I LOVE YOU,' one fan commented. Another added, 'OMG OMG OMG I'M NOT OKAY.' A third chimed, "Christmas came early."
If you're new to the hype, Maxton Hall is based on the bestselling Save Me trilogy by Mona Kasten. Season three will pick up with up with Save Us, the final book, continuing Ruby and James's intense, slow-burn romance.
Season one follows Ruby, a scholarship student at the elite Maxton Hall, who stumbles upon a secret that puts her in the crosshairs of James Beaufort, the school's brooding golden boy. Sparks fly, secrets unravel and things get messy—in the best way.
The show originally premiered on May 9, 2024 and quickly became Prime Video's biggest non-American original—ranking #1 in over 120 countries.
Maxton Hall season two arrives November 7. And with season three already greenlit, it's safe to say we've found your next binge.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3: What we know so far about final season
'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3: What we know so far about final season Show Caption Hide Caption Need a show to binge? These are the must watch shows this summer USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this summer Belly and the boys will be returning to Cousins for the last time. Season 3 of "The Summer I Turned Pretty," a coming-of-age romantic television series based on the popular book trilogy by Jenny Han, premieres July 16 on Amazon Prime Video. The show, which takes place over many-a summer, follows the ongoing love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung) and brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) as they navigate life and one immeasurable loss. The last time we saw Belly ("The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 2 finale), she decided to put the past and her feelings for first love Conrad in the rearview as she focuses on her future and her budding relationship with Jeremiah. But the past, specifically Conrad, has a habit of reappearing when its least convenient for Belly, who tries but fails to keep her feelings at bay. Belly's left to make a huge decision, one that will change the course of their lives forever, by the end of the summer. While the essence of the original story has remained intact, Han is known for having a few tricks up her sleeve, and this season won't be any different. "There are going to be surprises," Han, creator and showrunner, told Entertainment Weekly on June 5. "There are the things that they know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them." Here's what we know about Belly's "last" summer in Cousins, including how to tune in. Where will 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 pick up? Many, but not all viewers, know what's going to happen next and how it's going to end. For those who haven't read the books or simply don't remember the Season 2 finale, the new season will pick up with Belly, who is looking forward to another summer in Cousins with Jeremiah after her junior year of college. (Seemingly everyone, except Jeremiah, knows that Conrad still has a place in Belly's heart.) "Her future seems set, until some core-shaking events bring her first love Conrad back into her life," according to official logline for Season 3. "Now on the brink of adulthood, Belly finds herself at a crossroads and must decide which brother has her heart. Summer will never be the same." While Belly's decision is the focus of Season 3, other characters like Taylor and Steven will likely have a moment in the spotlight.

As the Beckham family feud rages on, one son just made a personal decision: report
Deep sigh. Romeo Beckham was single for a hot minute, and now has possibly moved on. David and Victoria' Beckham's middle son, 22, was just spotted with a gorgeous woman in Paris, days after reports he had split with Kim Turnbull. The latter relationship was apparently one of the catalysts for a feud currently simmering within the famous English family who lives in Miami part time. According to widespread media reports, Turnbull used to have a little something something with Romeo's older brother Brooklyn, 26. Despite being happily married to Nicola Peltz, the aspiring chef understandably didn't want to have to hang with the London-based DJ when the whole gang got together. OK, so Turnbull isn't the only cause of the alleged friction. We hear that Victoria and Peltz are not exactly besties, with problems dating back to the 'Transformers' star's 2022 wedding to the ex Spice Girl's eldest in Palm Beach. The fact that the socialite chose to wear Valentino apparently didn't sit well with her mother-in-law, a haute designer. Whatever caused the drama, and if it's still ongoing is unclear. But we do know Brooklyn recently covered up his 'Mama's Boy' chest tattoo with flowers. Ouch. Back to Romeo and his sitch: TMZ identifies his new ladyfriend as Caroline Daur, a German fitness influencer. According to her eponymous website, the 30-year-old is 'a successful self-made entrepreneur and actress' with over 4.6 million followers on Instagram. Time will tell if the Beckhams can heal from the all this tumult. Insiders tell UK's The Sun the soccer icon and former pop star are hoping they can all reunite to celebrate daughter Harper's 14th birthday, which falls on July 10. But another source threw cold water on that theory: 'It doesn't seem likely at the moment.'

‘Smallville' Co-Showrunner Kelly Souders Tells Producers: 'Don't Give Notes When Everybody's Gone Home'
Kelly Souders, the co-showrunner of Superman drama Smallville and co-creator of The Hot Zone, has had her say on the complicated relationship between producers and creatives. In a panel hosted by Deadline in Germany at Seriencamp yesterday, Souders railed against producers whose primary goal is imposing their will on a production without considering how to connect with their creative counterpart. More from Deadline Folivari International Takes Global Rights To 'Pil's Adventures' Spin-Off Series Major TV Events Continue In Cologne Despite Huge Evacuation While German City Deals With WWII Bombs BBC Studios Producer Reveals Why 'Ghosts' Is "Indebted" To 'Friends' - Seriencamp 'As a producer, you're constantly giving notes and you need to figure out your goal. Is it being right, or is it to get a tune out of someone?,' she questioned. Her key message to producers addressing issues with creatives was to figure out how to deliver an opening line. 'There are a lot of times I get notes in meetings that say, 'Okay, there is a lot of work to be done here.' Immediately, your front cortex shuts down and you go into fight or flight mode. I'm going to walk out, and without even trying I'll forget what you said,' she added. She also criticized producers who provide notes on scenes when a production is at edit stage. 'It would have been a great note when we were shooting, but now everybody's gone home,' she added. 'They don't like to read' Souders was talking on a panel alongside Noémi Saglio, the French TV and film writer behind 2019 Netflix series The Hook Up Plan, who stunned an excited audience with her own take on producers' pitfalls. 'They don't like to read,' she said. 'That is what producers really need to work on. Guys, the creative is the basis for the whole thing: If you don't like to read, I don't know what to tell you. We have to come back to the material, and they have to know it by heart and understand every sentence.' Both agreed that producers needed to make tough financial calls, but urged this to be a collaborative process informed by the script and not a decision-making process taken alone with an 'Excel spreadsheet,' as Saglio put it. Souders said she has had few entirely positive experiences with producers. The exception to the rule was Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions, whose staff had creatively supported her vision on The Hot Zone, a Nat Geo drama adaptation of Richard Preston's book about the ebola virus. Souders joined Smallville as a staff writer on Season 1 in 2001 before rising to become co-showrunner on the Warners-then-CW young adult drama. She remained with the show through its next nine seasons. She later went on to co-create and showrun Julianna Margulies-starrer drama The Hot Zone and was consulting producer and writer on Genius: Picasso and Genius: Einstein for the same network. She was also an executive producer on WGN's flagship show Salem, and consulted on CBS's Under the Dome and USA Network's Political Animals. 'You want desperately to find a creative producer who is going to elevate what you're doing, but instead a lot of times you are just arguing with them,' she said. Both Saglio and Souders noted they worked with the same creative team on most projects. 'Everybody on set is my family, and I never change that, but I change producers,' said Saglio. 'I haven't made two projects with the same producer. I don't fight with them, but I haven't found one who has brought enough to the table to do another one with them. I am so hands-on that it is so difficult to trust someone has the same vision.' Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, the American-Icelandic actor-producer, said that a good producer 'connects with the story, brings together the best creative people they think should make that story and then stay out of their way as much as they can, but be ready to pop in when needed.' He criticized how 'ego' can derail projects, and recalled an anecdote about Mel Brooks, who quietly organized Academy Award-nominated 1980 film The Elephant Man, directed by a young David Lynch. 'He was the producer, the one who bought the rights and the one who put it in the hands of David Lynch. But Mel Brooks' name isn't on the film, and the reason he gave was if it was, people would expect something different. It is an incredible thing to have the humility to tell yourself that, and that is the mark of a great producer.'
