The story of Ruby Bell and James Beaufort is officially continuing. After the dramatic cliffhanger that concluded the second season of Maxton Hall, fans have been eager for news about the future of the hit German series. The good news is that Prime Video has officially confirmed a third season, promising to bring more of the elite-school drama and complicated romance that viewers have come to love.
The Official Maxton Hall Season 3 Announcement
The renewal for Maxton Hall came well before the second season even premiered, showing the streaming service’s strong confidence in the show. In June 2025, the lead actors, Harriet Herbig-Matten (Ruby Bell) and Damian Hardung (James Beaufort), shared the exciting news directly with fans in a video posted on Instagram.
In the video, Harriet is seen telling Damian, “Damian, you won’t believe what just arrived… Maxton Hall is coming back for Season 3.” Damian Hardung’s response, “One last time, back to school,” strongly suggests that the third season will serve as the final chapter for the series. This aligns with the fact that the show is based on Mona Kasten’s trilogy of books, with each season adapting one novel.
When Will Maxton Hall Season 3 Be Released?
As of now, Prime Video has not announced an official release date for the third season. However, by looking at the production patterns of the previous seasons, we can make an educated guess.
Season 1 of Maxton Hall was released in May 2024. Filming for the second season reportedly took place in the summer of 2024, with the season premiering in November 2025. Following this timeline, if filming for the third season occurred in the summer of 2025 as some reports indicate, a release date in late 2026 seems highly probable.
Many industry observers and fan accounts speculate that the new season could arrive around the same time slot as the second season, possibly in November 2026.
What to Expect in the Final Season
Maxton Hall Season 3 will be based on the third and final book in Mona Kasten’s series, titled “Save Us.” The story will pick up directly from the shocking Season 2 finale, which left Ruby’s future in jeopardy.
The official description for the book “Save Us” gives a clear idea of the central conflict:
“Ruby is in shock: Her worst nightmare has come true, and now Oxford and all her dreams that finally seemed within reach are at risk. Worst of all, everything points to James as the one responsible… After an explosive fight, the two uncover a devastating truth. As Ruby fights to graduate and James struggles to clear her name, he must once again confront his father and the expectations placed upon him.”
The new season will need to address several major questions left by the Season 2 cliffhanger. Can Ruby clear her name and regain her chance to study at Oxford? Who was truly behind the leaked photo that framed her? And, most importantly, can Ruby and James’ relationship survive the immense pressure from his family and their vastly different worlds?
Who Is Returning for Season 3?
While official casting details are still to be confirmed, it is expected that the main cast will reprise their roles for the final season. This includes:
- Harriet Herbig-Matten as Ruby Bell
- Damian Hardung as James Beaufort
- Sonja Weißer as Lydia Beaufort
- Fedja Van Huêt as Mortimer Beaufort
- Eidin Jalali as Graham Sutton
- Justus Riesner as Alistair Ellington
- Andrea Guo as Lin Wang
The core cast is set to return, ensuring the continuation of the character dynamics that are central to the show’s appeal. With the main characters returning, the final season is poised to raise the stakes with deeper conflicts and high emotions as Ruby and James fight for their future.
