Prime Video’s breakout hit Maxton Hall – The World Between Us is gearing up for its emotional finale, with fan-made and teaser trailers circulating online hinting at Ruby Bell and James Beaufort finally stepping toward a shared life – possibly even starting a family – as old wounds reopen.
The German-language teen drama, based on Mona Kasten’s bestselling Save Me trilogy, exploded onto the global stage with Season 1 in 2024, becoming Prime Video’s most-watched international original ever. Season 2, which wrapped in late November 2025, left viewers reeling from a devastating cliffhanger: Ruby (Harriet Herbig-Matten) suspended from Maxton Hall over a misleading photo suggesting an affair with teacher Graham Sutton (Eidin Jalali), just as her Oxford scholarship dreams hung in the balance.
Now, with Season 3 confirmed as the final chapter back in June 2025 – before Season 2 even premiered – anticipation is sky-high. Filming wrapped quietly in late 2025, and while Prime Video has released first-look images showing tense confrontations and tender reconciliations, viral fan trailers and concept clips have fueled speculation about Ruby and James “becoming a family.”
The official synopsis for Season 3, drawn from the third book Save Us, paints a picture of turmoil: “Ruby is on the edge: She has been suspended from Maxton Hall College, and all evidence points to James being responsible for her expulsion. A slap in the face that not only endangers Ruby’s Oxford dream but also puts their love to a severe test.”
Sources indicate the season will dive deep into the fallout, with Ruby initially suspecting James of betrayal. James (Damian Hardung), meanwhile, grapples with his toxic father Mortimer Beaufort (Fedja van Huêt), who has been orchestrating much of the destruction to keep the couple apart.
But amid the drama, trailers tease healing: intimate scenes of Ruby and James supporting each other through grief, family scandals, and societal pressures. Book readers know the trilogy ends with the couple overcoming obstacles to build a future together – free from the Beaufort empire’s grip. While the show has deviated slightly (notably amplifying Mortimer’s villainy and the Lydia-Graham pregnancy plot), insiders suggest it will stay true to the core romance.
Supporting characters get major arcs too. Lydia Beaufort (Sonja Weißer), James’s twin, deals with the consequences of her secret pregnancy with twins fathered by Graham. The controversial teacher-student relationship reaches a conclusion, with Graham facing professional ruin. Friends like Cyril (Ben Felipe), Alistair, and Ember Bell (Runa Greiner, Ruby’s sister) navigate their own “emotional chaos,” as executive producer Ceylan Yildirim described in interviews.
Yildirim emphasized keeping Ruby and James’s love story central: “We decided to stay true to the basic narrative formula and keep the love story between Ruby and James as the central driving force.” This focus has made Maxton Hall a unicorn in the YA genre – blending elite school intrigue with raw vulnerability.
The series also explores class divides more intensely. Ruby, the scholarship student from a working-class family, contrasts sharply with James’s privileged world. Season 2 saw Mortimer sabotage Ruby’s family financially, firing her mother and revoking scholarships. Season 3 promises James fully rebelling, potentially inheriting his late mother’s assets to break free.
Fan reaction has been explosive. Social media buzzes with theories about Ruby and James’s endgame – marriage? Kids? The trailer’s “family” vibes stem from book spoilers where they plan a life together post-graduation. Damian Hardung, in a recent Teen Vogue interview, called Season 3 “destructive” for the couple but hinted at growth: “James finally realizes he has to let go of certain needs and find love elsewhere.”
Harriet Herbig-Matten echoed the sentiment in announcement videos, excitedly holding Season 3 scripts while saying “one last time back to school.” Prime Video confirmed no current plans for spin-offs, though they’re open to ideas.
Production notes highlight the show’s polish: Martin Schreier directs again, with a soundtrack featuring emotional tracks like SYML’s hits that defined key Ruby-James moments. Filming locations return to iconic spots like Marienburg Castle for Maxton Hall and Potsdam for Oxford scenes.
Viewership remains strong – Season 2 topped charts worldwide post-finale. Comparisons to Gossip Girl and Elite abound, but Maxton Hall‘s heartfelt romance sets it apart.
No exact release date yet, but patterns suggest mid-to-late 2026. Prime Video is prioritizing dubs and subs for global appeal.
As the trilogy concludes, one question looms: Can Ruby and James transcend their worlds to build the family they deserve? Trailers suggest yes – but not without heartbreak.
Catch up on Seasons 1 and 2 now on Prime Video. The wait for the final chapter begins.
