Maxton Hall Season Two Release in Australia
The second season of Prime Video's popular show Maxton Hall is set to return in November, following the first season's debut in May 2024. Despite only 18 months passing since the last season, it feels like much longer to fans.
Series Overview
Maxton Hall is a German-language series based on a book, centered on Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) at a prestigious private school. It plays with classic tropes like enemies-to-lovers, with James as the school’s golden boy and Ruby a scholarship student who uncovers a secret early on.
Season One Recap
By the end of season one, the relationship between James and Ruby is uncertain. After reconciling, James faces his mother’s death and a violent confrontation with his father, forcing him to leave home. Seeking solace with Ruby, he ultimately walks away upon seeing her happy family life, not wanting to burden her.
“Some threatening behaviour from James and sassy comebacks from Ruby shape their dynamic throughout the story.”
Expectations for Season Two
The show blends a successful romance formula with its unique German-language context, and the cast was initially unsure how it would be received internationally.
Author’s Summary: Maxton Hall’s second season promises continuing intense drama and complex relationships set in a prestigious school, captivating audiences even beyond its original German-speaking viewers.
