Release Schedule for Maxton Hall Season Two in Australia
The highly anticipated second season of Prime Video's popular series Maxton Hall is set to return in November. Despite only 18 months passing since the first season, it feels much longer for fans eager to see the next chapter.
Series Background and Plot
Maxton Hall initially premiered in May 2024, adapted from a German-language book into a TV show. The story revolves around Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung), set in an elite private school. It explores familiar themes like enemies-to-lovers, with James as the school's golden boy and Ruby as a scholarship student who uncovers a mysterious secret in the first episode.
Season One Recap
The first season ends with a tense but heartfelt resolution between James and Ruby. After learning of his mother’s death, James has a violent confrontation with his father, which leads him to seek solace with Ruby. However, seeing her happy family life, he chooses to leave alone, not wanting to impose his grief on her.
"James and Ruby had reconciled, but then he learns of his mother’s death and has a huge (and physical) fight with his dad, which forces him to leave his house and seek comfort with Ruby. But when he arrives at her home, he sees how happy she is with her family, so he walks away alone so he doesn’t burden her with his devastation."
Production and Reception
Although the show follows a classic romance formula, the German-language format made the cast uncertain about how well it would be received internationally, especially in English-speaking regions.
Main Cast
- Ruby Bell played by Harriet Herbig-Matten
