The popular drama Maxton Hall – The World Between Us is back on top in the UK! Many viewers describe it as both exciting and comforting. Here’s everything you need to know about this new hit series from Prime Video, which has already been renewed for another season.

This German TV show is adapted from Mona Kasten’s novels and centers on Ruby Bell, played by Harriet Herbig-Matten. Ruby is a bright student on a scholarship at an elite school, and she hopes to one day go to Oxford University.

Ruby quickly falls for James Beaufort (Damian Hardung), the brother of her close friend Lydia (Sonja Weißer). As Ruby becomes close to this new family, will she and James find lasting happiness together?

The series, which first launched in 2024, returned for its second season on Friday, November 7th, and has quickly become popular, currently ranking number one on the streaming service’s list of top TV shows and movies, according to FlixPatrol.

Season one of the show was adapted from the 2018 novel Save Me, and season two covered the story in Save You. Prime Video has already renewed the show for a third season, which will likely be based on the novel Save Us.

The second season of the show, like the first, will have six episodes. According to a synopsis reported by Forbes, it begins with Ruby dealing with the aftermath of a devastating betrayal by James, and the collapse of their relationship.

All she wants is to return to how things were before – when she could blend into the background at Maxton Hall. Even though she’s trying to ignore her feelings, James is determined to win her back, no matter what it takes.

Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t have an overall score for the second season yet, but the first three reviews are all positive. For example, the Hindustan Times described the show’s portrayal of young love as both captivating and intense.

According to Decider, the second season of Maxton Hall – The World Between Us starts strong, with the characters quickly facing dramatic challenges in the very first episode. They’re excited to see how the story unfolds from here.

I’ve been following the reviews for Maxton Hall, and it seems like most people are really enjoying it! It’s currently sitting at a 70% approval rating based on 10 reviews, and Entertainment Weekly pointed out that it perfectly hits all the right notes for a classic young adult enemies-to-lovers story – and that’s a good thing, apparently! It’s comforting to see a familiar formula done well.

Pajiba praised the series as ‘sweet, addictive, and brimming with feeling,’ noting that while categorized as young adult, its European origins make it bolder and more provocative than many American dramas aimed at adults. Lola Lambchops simply called it ‘spicy’.
