The German series Maxton Hall made a huge splash with its first season on Prime Video. It had everything people love, drama, emotion, and a love story that kept fans hooked till the end.
The show is based on Mona Kasten’s popular book Save Me and follows Ruby, a hardworking scholarship student, and James, a spoiled rich kid. Their worlds couldn’t be more different, yet one unexpected moment at their elite school brings them together. No matter how hard they try to stay apart, something keeps pulling them back. By the end of the first season, they finally find their way to each other again, but then tragedy strikes, leaving their future uncertain.
In the upcoming season, Damian Hardung, who plays James, shared that his character is struggling to find balance in life. He said James is looking for something steady to hold onto. His life feels empty because everything he once depended on, his family, love, and sense of direction, has fallen apart. Now, his journey is about finding himself again and rebuilding that lost stability.
Harriet Herbig-Matten, who plays Ruby, said the new season focuses on healing and setting boundaries. Ruby is learning when to hold on and when to let go. She explained that even though Ruby chooses to be there for James despite everything he’s done, it’s a decision that makes more sense emotionally than logically. Deep down, Ruby’s choice might be her way of protecting herself too.
Season 2 promises more emotions, new challenges, and deeper growth for both Ruby and James. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what happens next and when the new episodes will finally arrive.

Maxton Hall season 2 plot details
By the end of season 1, it seemed like Ruby and James finally found their way back into each other’s arms. After a deep and emotional conversation, they finally kissed passionately and decided to give their love one more shot. In that moment, everything felt right between them.
But their happiness was not to last. When James and his sister Lydia came back from their Oxford interviews, they found the house shrouded in grief: their mother, Cordelia, had died after a stroke. The shock was too much for James, who in his anger and hurt turned on his father.
Meanwhile, Ruby was home, sitting amidst her family, talking about her Oxford trip and how good the last interview went. Her world was bright and full of possibilities, while James’ had completely fallen apart.
That painful contrast of Ruby’s hopeful future to James’ deep grief was where the season ended, leaving fans in suspense. Would James push Ruby away after everything that happened? Or would their bond be strong enough to survive such heartbreak?
According to the official description, Season 2 finds Ruby’s life seeming perfect until tragedy strikes James’s family and pulls her back into his world. Broken-hearted, Ruby is forced to choose between her love for James and escaping the chaos that surrounds him. She yearns for the simplicity of her life before Maxton Hall, but her feelings won’t let her forget him-especially when James starts doing everything in his power to win her back.
