Maxton Hall Season 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Harriet Herbig-Matten & Damian Hardung's series
Maxton Hall Season 2 OTT Release Date: If you're still recovering from the emotional rollercoaster that Maxton Hall: The World Between Us Season 1 threw you into, buckle up because Season 2 is officially dropping on November 7, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. The high-drama, high-society, teen-romance saga is back, and it promises even more secrets, heartbreaks, and confrontations that'll keep your heart racing. Let's rewind a bit. The first season, based on Mona Kasten's bestselling novel Save Me, became a breakout sensation when it premiered in May 2024. Within days, it shot up the streaming charts and went viral not just in Germany, but across 120 countries. It was moody, romantic, a bit scandalous, and, most importantly, addictive. Maxton Hall's plot thickens in Season 2 At the centre of it all were Ruby Bell and James Beaufort, two people from completely different worlds, brought together by fate, ambition, and a chemistry that sizzled through the screen. Maxton Hall Season 2 picks up right where we left off: after that fateful, passionate night in Oxford. Ruby is riding high and she's cracked her interview and her dreams of going to Oxford are now within reach. For once, things seem to be going her way. But then, tragedy strikes. James' mother dies unexpectedly, and everything changes. Overwhelmed with grief and guilt, James spirals. He pulls away from Ruby, drowns himself in distractions, and begins making one destructive decision after another. Ruby, understandably heartbroken, tries to focus on her future, but it's not that simple. James might be pushing her away, but their bond is hard to forget. She finds herself torn between the promise of a new life and the wreckage of the relationship she left behind. Meanwhile, James is battling demons of his own - family pressure, guilt, grief, and a growing realisation that he might've just lost the best thing that ever happened to him. If Season 1 was about attraction and connection, Maxton Hall Season 2 is about trust, loss, second chances, and growing up the hard way. The faces you know and love are back Harriet Herbig-Matten returns as the smart, headstrong Ruby Bell, while Damian Hardung reprises his role as the emotionally complex James Beaufort. Joining them again are Sonja Weißer as Ruby's confident sister Lydia, Ben Felipe as the stylish Cyril, and Fedja van Huêt as the enigmatic Mortimer Beaufort. The ensemble cast also includes Justus Riesner, Andrea Guo, Eli Riccardi, Runa Greiner, and Frederic Balonier. Martin Schreier and Tarek Roehlinger, who co-directed the first season, are back in the director's chair. The writing team is led by head writer Ceylan Yildirim, and the production remains under UFA Fiction, with Markus Brunnemann and Valentin Debler producing alongside Juliana Lima Dehne and Marlene Melchior.

‘Maxton Hall – The World Between Us' Season 2 Launch Date Update: Breakout YA Series To Launch 'At The End Of The Year'
EXCLUSIVE: School's back for winter. Maxton Hall: The World Between Us Season 2 is now penciled in to premiere at the end of this year, we've learned. No specific date for the premiere has been given, but Amazon exclusively told us it will be 'at the end' of 2025. The second run of the breakout Prime Video young adult series wrapped filming in September last year, and with Season 1 launching in May 2024 the gap between the two will be relatively substantial. More from Deadline Ella Purnell Details Working With "Poop Finger" On 'Fallout': "Bane Of My Life" 'Bosch: Legacy' Trailer Reveals Dark Secrets In Third & Final Season - Update Molly-Mae Series "Changed People's Expectations," Says Amazon UK TV Exec 'We want to offer fans around the globe the best Maxton Hall experience,' said an Amazon spokesperson. 'As such, we're intensely working on a first class production and music composition for the series, including comprehensive language versions. We promise the wait will be worth it.' Maxton Hall, produced out of Germany by UFA Fiction and set in the UK's private education system, follows Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten), a girl from a humble background who wins a scholarship to an elite British college, and her relationship with uber-privileged heir James Beaufort (Damian Hardung). As we previously reported, Season 2 begins after the pair share a night together in Oxford. Everything seems to be going perfectly for Ruby, but a twist of fate in James' family changes everything and James himself brings her back from cloud nine to a harsh reality. The show is based on Mona Kasten's bestselling novel series. It is one of the main examples of the young adult programming dominating on streamers, with Maxton Hall's first season named Prime Video's most successful ever international original. Returning to join Hardung and Herbig-Matten in the cast are Sonja Weißer as Lydia, Ben Felipe as Cyril, Fedja van Huêt as Mortimer, Runa Greiner as Ember, Justus Riesner as Alistair, Andrea Guo as Lin, Frederic Balonier as Kieran and Eli Riccardi as Elaine. Filming began in July 2024 and wrapped a few months later. Rumors are flying over an anticipated third and likely final season, though this hasn't yet been formally greenlit at Prime Video. With Season 1 reaching top spot in Prime Video charts in more than 120 countries and territories, Season 2 will be hoping to set up a new run with similarly groundbreaking stats in its school satchel. Fremantle-owned UFA Fiction is producing Season 2, with Valetin Debler returning as producer. Martin Schreier directs and executive producers are Markus Brunnemann and Ceylan Yildirim, who also acts as head writer. Alongside Yildirim, Juliana Lima Dehne and Marlene Melchior are the scriptwriters. The series is supported by the German Motion Picture Fund.
