Maxton Hall brought some serious drama in its first outing on Prime Video.

The six-part German series, which is based on Mona Kasten’s best-selling book Save Me, centres on the relationship between scholarship student Ruby and entitled rich kid James following an unexpected encounter at prestigious school Maxton Hall.

Despite coming from wildly different worlds, they found themselves drawn to another and, although there were hurdles placed before them, by the end of the season they had found their way back into one another’s arms – that is until tragedy struck, casting doubt on their future.

But are there plans to revisit Ruby and James’s story?

When could a potential Maxton Hall season 2 air?

If season 2 does get the green light, we wouldn’t expect new episodes to arrive until 2025 at least.

But as we said, there’s no word on whether the show has been renewed at the moment. As soon as we know more, we’ll have all of the details for you right here.

Who could return for a potential Maxton Hall season 2?

We’d expect Harriet Herbig-Matten to return as Ruby and Damian Hardung to reprise the role of James.

Other characters who could likely return are:

  • Sonja Weißer as James’s sister Lydia, who is pregnant
  • Fedja Van Huêt as James and Lydia’s father Mortimer 
  • Justus Riesner as James’s best friend Alistair 
  • Andrea Guo as Ruby’s best friend Lin
  • Ben Felipe as Cyril, a Maxton Hall student
  • Runa Greiner as Ruby’s sister Ember 
  • Julia-Maria Köhler as Ruby and Ember’s mother Helen 
  • Martin Neuhaus as Ruby and Ember’s father Angus 

There are plenty of other faces that could return, and we’d expect some new additions, too.

But we’ve likely seen the last of Clelia Sarto, who plays Cordelia, James and Lydia’s mother, after her character died (although she could feature in flashback form).

In the season 1 finale, Ruby and James were finally back on track after having a big heart-to-heart and sharing a passionate kiss, before sealing the deal.

But tragedy was just around the corner.

When James and Lydia returned home from their Oxford interviews, their father informed them that Cordelia, their mother, had died after suffering a stoke, prompting James to leap up and attack his father.

The season wrapped up with Ruby surrounded by her family, regaling them with tales from her trip to Oxford, where she appeared to nail her third and final interview.

By contrast, James’s life had been upended, leaving him bereft of any hope or joy.

What do their respective futures hold? And will James walk away from Ruby following that shocking development?

Prime Video, we need answers, and stat!

Is there a trailer for a potential Maxton Hall season 2?

First up, we need that all-important renewal.

If season 2 does go ahead, expect the trailer to arrive in the month leading up to the premiere.
