The series is primarily based in a school called Maxton Hall where a focused student, Ruby Bell, falls in love with the bad boy of the school, James Beaufort.
Here is a look at the filming locations for this series.
Marienburg Castle, Hannover, Germany
Marienburg Castle is a castle near Hannover and it has been reimagined as the public school Maxton Hall in 'Maxton Hall - The World Between Us'.
The castle was built by King George V, the last king to rule over Hanover, as a gift for his wife on her birthday in 1857. Unfortunately, the story of this castle has a tragedy attached to it, as Queen Marie never got to see the gift since she and her husband went into exile by 1867, the year when it was completed.
The Queen's Library still carries some of the German masterpieces on its artistic shelf. The castle is used as a setting for music, art, and culture.
Oxford, United Kingdom
Oxford is famous for the University of Oxford which is a dream for many students. The show centers around the university and its protagonist Ruby Bell who dreams of getting into the university one day.
The university is among the world's leading academic institutions with a rich heritage of education. It is renowned in history as one of the earliest universities to impart education.
The university also has a rich history as a filming location for many popular films like 'The Italian Job', 'Another Country', and 'Oxford Blues'. 'Maxton Hall - The World Between Us' also uses Oxford as a plot point and the makers have decided to stay authentic to the plot and shoot in Oxford.
Berlin, Germany
'Maxton Hall - The World Between Us' is produced in Germany and while the series is based in the United Kingdom, a major portion of it is shot in Berlin.
Berlin has been an inspiration for many filmmakers and it has a good infrastructure for films to be shot in the city. This series features many German actors so it would have made sense to shoot the interior scenes in Berlin as a logistical decision.
Berlin's modern architecture and urban landscape make it a sought-after location for filmmakers.
