Prime Video has renewed Maxton Hall: The World Between Us for a third season even before the romance drama's second season has been released. When it was first released in 2024, Maxton Hall set massive viewership records for Prime Video.

A new report from Deadline confirmed that Prime Video has already ordered Maxton Hall: The World Between Us season 3. Maxton Hall season 3 will be an adaptation of "Save Us" by Mona Kasten, the third novel in the Maxton Hall trilogy.

Maxton Hall fans, we finally have the exciting news we have been waiting over a year for. Personally, I can't contain my excitement that Prime Video announced the official season 2 release date and we can officially start counting down the days until we're back at Maxton Hall with James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) and Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten). But don't get too excited yet because the second season isn't coming this summer. We'll have to wait until fall.
Maxton Hall season 2 premieres in November 2025
Prime Video revealed Maxton Hall season 2 will premiere on Friday, Nov. 7, the streamer hasn't indicated whether the second season will have a binge release like season 1 or release new episodes weekly. Since the series became a breakout sensation and among the most-watched Prime Video originals worldwide with its release in May 2024, it would be smart for the streamer to allow fans to savor each episode week by week to build up viewership.

Alan Ritchson is set to take a temporary break from the Reacher franchise to star in a new sci-fi action film, titled War Machine. Alongside Ritchson, the movie also stars Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, and Dennis Quaid, and the latter star says fans are in for a treat with Ritchson's next action flick. As well as bringing Lee Child's iconic military police/vigilante to life in Reacher, Ritchson has slowly been establishing himself as one of Hollywood's go-to action icons, starring in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Fast X, Titans, and more. But, War Machine is easily his most ambitious action project to date.
During an interview with Collider to promote his new movie, Broke, Dennis Quaid teased what fans can expect from himself, Ritchson, and the rest of the cast in War Machine. "It was two weeks, for my part in War Machine, down in Australia," Quaid began.

It may be hard to believe that it's been a year since Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) went from enemies to lovers. After an impressive series debut last May, becoming the most successful international original series in Prime Video's history, Maxton Hall — The World Between Us is gearing up towards its Season 2 release with new images and a behind-the-scenes look. Based on the best-selling book trilogy by German author Mona Kasten, the show follows a scholarship student who falls for her rich classmate after the latter tries to stop her from revealing a family secret.
Although the series wrapped months ago, Prime Video is making the wait time for Season 2 quite the slow burn.

Alan Ritchson is charging full speed ahead from Reacher to his next action-packed outing, and it sounds like fans are in for a wild ride. According to co-star Dennis Quaid, War Machine—a new Netflix sci-fi thriller directed by The Expendables 3’s Patrick Hughes—puts Ritchson through the wringer, both figuratively and literally. War Machine, which Hughes co-wrote with James Beaufort, follows “the final recruits of a grueling special ops boot camp who encounter a deadly force from beyond this world.” The film doesn’t yet have a release date, but it’s expected to arrive on Netflix later this year.
Ritchson has been hyping the film since production wrapped, previously calling it: “I think, and you heard it here first, probably gonna be the, no, not probably, gonna be the biggest movie that Netflix has ever had.. This is the coolest thing they’ve ever made, guaranteed.”

Reacher star Alan Ritchson will continue to throw his impressive weight around with his upcoming Netflix sci-fi action movie, War Machine, in which he stars with Hollywood icon Dennis Quaid. Quaid is about to appear with Wyatt Russell in the upcoming western drama, Broke, which is a very different movie to his upcoming Netflix action blockbuster. According to Quaid, it seems that War Machine was very dirty to film…for Ritchson at least.
War Machine is directed by Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3) from a script he co-wrote with James Beaufort. According to the brief synopsis, War Machine follows "the final recruits of a grueling special ops boot camp who encounter a deadly force from beyond this world." Netflix has still to announce a release date for the movie, but it is expected to land sometime later this year.

Almost a year ago,Prime Video gave subscribers a new obsession. In May 2024, the streaming platform released a captivating and enticing drama series, Maxton Hall.

With her goal of attending Oxford in mind, working-class Ruby is determined to find her place among the wealthy scholars, but a twisted incident connects her with James Beaufort.

Maxton Hall: The World Between Us changes from book to show, elevating Ruby and James' romance with added depth. Ruby and James' collaboration on an event strengthens their bond, shifting from a Halloween party to a gala in the show. James' drawing talent and toned-down partying add intrigue to his character in the series, enhancing his connection with Ruby.
The new German TV show, Maxton Hall: The World Between Us, has made waves in the romance community, and this is thanks to the changes it makes to the original book. While the novel Save Me, by Mona Kasten, isn't enormously different from the series, there are enough alterations to be noticeable for fans of the books. Kasten wrote a trilogy that includes Save Me, Save You, and Save Us, which bodes well for future renewals and multiple seasons of Maxton Hall. After the intense cliffhanger ending, audiences can't wait for more.

So first things first, romantic TV shows haven’t really worked since shows like Modern Love and Normal People stopped airing. That somewhat changes Prime Video’s new romcom, Maxton Hall. The heir of one of the richest business families in England, James Beaufort, is everything one expects a spoiled brat to be.
