The global television phenomenon is set for its return. Maxton Hall – The World Between Us will premiere its second season this November, continuing the story of Ruby Bell and James Beaufort. The new season picks up after the dramatic events of the first season finale, promising more romance, heartbreak, and high-stakes drama from the elite private school.
When to Watch: Release Schedule
Fans can mark their calendars for November 7, 2025. On that date, the first three episodes of the six-part season will debut globally on Prime Video. The streaming service will then release one new episode each week, building up to the season finale on November 28, 2025. This release pattern will be available in more than 240 countries and territories.
What Happens Next in Season 2
The second season is based on Save You, the second book in Mona Kasten’s best-selling series. The story begins with Ruby and James after their passionate night together in Oxford. With her Oxford goal seemingly within reach, everything appears perfect for Ruby. However, a sudden tragedy in James’s family changes everything.
Ruby is left devastated as James, the person she has the strongest feelings for, also hurts her more deeply than anyone else. She longs for her old life before she was known at Maxton Hall and before she became part of the elite world of her classmates. Despite her pain, she finds she cannot forget James, especially as he tries everything to win her back.
Damian Hardung, who plays James, described the new season as “really dark,” suggesting a more intense journey for the characters.
