‘Maxton Hall’ Season 2 trailer teases major trouble for fan-favorite couple, here's everything we know
In the sea of teen romance drama, Prime Video's 'Maxton Hall: The World Between Us' came like a breath of fresh air in 2024. As Season 2 is slated for a Friday, November 7, debut, fans' anticipation is mounting. With Ruby Bell's (Harriet Herbig-Matten) Oxford dreams uncertain and the tragic demise of James Beaufort's (Damian Hardung) mother, things spiral out of hand for the protagonists, making fans eager for Season 2.
On Thursday, October 2, Prime Video released the trailer for the 'Maxton Hall' Season 2. The German series, based on Mona Kasten's bestselling books, promises more twists and turns, as per People. The trailer opens with Ruby thinking, "Some dreams are so beautiful that you want to stop time." However, her mood shifts when she sees a drunk James kissing Elaine (Eli Riccardi) at a party.
Ruby heartbreakingly warns, "Sometimes one second is enough to turn them into a nightmare." In the trailer, Lin (Andrea Guo) tells Ruby, "You had a life before James Beaufort, and you'll have one after James Beaufort," as he struggles with his mother's death and refuses to give up on Ruby. A teary-eyed James apologizes, saying, "I'm forever sorry." Meanwhile, Lydia (Sonja Weißer) reminds her brother that he and Ruby are from two different world,s and their father, Mortimer (Fedja van Huêt), sternly warns James, "Stay away from this girl forever." Despite the obstacles, the chemistry between Ruby and James remains undeniable.
As the trailer closes, Ruby seems to encourage taking risks, saying, "If you have a definite goal in life, and nothing in the world would stop you from getting it, then you mustn't give up." Produced by Germany's UFA Fiction, the show follows the on-off romance of British public school students Ruby and James. Season 2 premieres globally on Friday, November 7, with three episodes, with new episodes releasing weekly until the finale on Friday, November 28, as per Deadline.
