Release Schedule for Maxton Hall Season Two in Australia
The second season of Prime Video's popular series Maxton Hall returns this November. Although only 18 months have passed since the first season premiered, the wait has felt much longer for fans.
About the Series
This German-language adaptation of a book first aired in May 2024. The story centers on Ruby Bell, portrayed by Harriet Herbig-Matten, and James Beaufort, played by Damian Hardung. Set in an elite private school, the show explores classic themes such as enemies-to-lovers.
Plot Highlights
- James is the school's golden boy, while Ruby is a scholarship student who uncovers a secret in the opening episode.
- Their dynamic includes James’s intimidating behavior and Ruby’s sharp retorts.
- At the end of season one, after reconciling, James suffers a family tragedy—his mother's death—and a violent confrontation with his father.
- He seeks refuge with Ruby but ultimately leaves her home alone, not wanting to burden her with his grief.
"Though the show hits on a very successful romance formula, the fact that it’s a German-language show means that the cast wasn’t sure how it would perform when it was released."
Despite uncertainties about its reception, the series has gained a devoted audience.
