Maxton Hall season 2: Release date, release schedule and latest news
***FULL SEASON 1 SPOILERS AHEAD***
German series Maxton Hall brought some serious drama in its first outing on Prime Video.
The six-part 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 repeatedly drawn to another. And although there were plenty of hurdles placed before them, by the end of the season they reconnected – that is until tragedy struck, casting doubt on their future.
"James is fighting for stability," said Damian Hardung of what his character is going through in the show's sophomore outing. "Like all of us, he needs reference points – something in life he can hold onto. His own visions of the future don't help him because they simply don't exist.
"When mother, love, and father all fall away, then inner emptiness threatens. Getting out of that again, finding himself again – that's his big task in the second season."
As for Ruby, season 2 is about "setting boundaries and healing, about letting someone go," said Harriet Herbig-Matten.
"Ruby's decision in episode 1 to be there for James after all the hurt he caused her, I can understand in terms of her feelings, but rationally I had difficulty comprehending it.
"But I think much of it is also self-protection."
But what else can you expect from the new episodes? And when can you watch them?

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.

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?
"Everything seems to be going perfectly for Ruby, but a stroke of fate in his family changes everything [for] James, [who] brings her back from cloud nine to a harsh reality," reads the official synopsis.
"Ruby is devastated. She has never had such strong feelings for anyone as she does for James—and never before has anyone hurt her so deeply. She wants her old life back, where no one at Maxton Hall knew her yet and she wasn’t part of the elitist world of her classmates.
"But she can’t forget James—especially since he’s doing everything he can to win her back."
