The second season of Prime Video's popular drama Maxton Hall returns this November. Below is the complete release schedule for Australian viewers.
Although only 18 months have passed since fans last visited the world of Maxton Hall, the wait has felt much longer. Originally adapted from a German-language novel, the series premiered in May 2024 and quickly became a global hit. Now, season two is ready to continue the story.
The show follows Ruby Bell, portrayed by Harriet Herbig-Matten, and James Beaufort, played by Damian Hardung. Set in an elite private school, the story explores familiar themes like rivalry, romance, and personal growth. James is the school's charming golden boy, while Ruby is a hardworking scholarship student who uncovers a life-changing secret in the first episode.
Their connection builds through tension and wit—James’s arrogance clashes with Ruby’s independence, creating both conflict and chemistry. The series cleverly uses the enemies-to-lovers trope to explore privilege, ambition, and vulnerability.
Warning: Spoilers ahead. The first season ends with uncertainty about the couple’s future. After Ruby and James reconcile, tragedy strikes when James learns of his mother’s death. Following a violent confrontation with his father, he leaves home in despair. Seeking comfort, he visits Ruby but sees her happiness with her family and chooses not to disrupt her peace. He walks away, emotionally broken but respectful of her life.
"The show plays on a beloved romance formula, but being a German-language production, the cast initially doubted how well it would perform internationally."
The highly anticipated second season of Maxton Hall continues Ruby and James’s emotional journey, promising more tension, tenderness, and compelling character growth for audiences in Australia and beyond.
