Maxton Hall mania is officially back. With Season 2 premiering on Prime Video in November 2025, viewers are once again locked into Ruby and James’ enemies-to-lovers saga—now older, messier, and more emotionally charged. And as the binge begins, one question is already top of mind: when does Season 3 arrive?
Prime Video hasn’t announced a date yet, but the streamer has confirmed more episodes are on the way. Here’s what to know about the show’s origins, where Season 2 takes the story, and what Season 3 means for Ruby and James’ final chapter.
What Is Maxton Hall About?
Maxton Hall is a German-language teen drama adapted from Mona Kasten’s bestselling Save Me trilogy. Set at the elite English boarding school Maxton Hall, the series follows Ruby Bell, a hard-working scholarship student trying to navigate privilege, ambition, and class divides without losing herself in the process.
Her biggest complication is James Beaufort, the arrogant, wealthy heir who initially collides with Ruby over secrets and status—until chemistry, and eventually vulnerability, start to cut through the animosity. What begins as a clash of worlds evolves into a slow-burn romance that balances swoon-worthy moments with real consequences.
Season 1 brought the events of Save Me to the screen, establishing Ruby and James’ dynamic and leaving the couple at a precarious crossroads. Season 2 adapts the second novel, Save You, catching up with them at Oxford as they face new academic pressures and personal upheaval. Season 3 is expected to conclude the trilogy with Save Us, delivering the final stage of their relationship amid higher stakes and tougher choices.
For viewers who want to read ahead, all three books were re-released in English in 2025—an easy way to revisit (or discover) the source material before the series reaches its conclusion.
Maxton Hall Season 2: Story Recap & What The Cast Tease
Season 2 picks up after a tumultuous reset. At the end of Season 1, Ruby and James reunited at Oxford after a painful fallout tied to James’ family pressures. The two finally seemed ready to be together—complete with a passionate night that promised a clean slate—before tragedy upended everything.
The sudden death of James’ mother adds a heavy emotional layer to the new episodes. The couple begins Season 2 “worlds apart,” with grief, guilt, and the complicated influence of the Beaufort family reshaping what Ruby and James mean to each other. The core tension remains the same—can they choose each other without losing themselves?—but the obstacles are more adult and more unforgiving.
“You can expect a lot of drama and ups and downs,” Harriet Herbig-Matten, who plays Ruby, told Yahoo Entertainment in June 2024. She added that James is actively working on himself this season while Ruby refuses to compromise who she is, drawing clear boundaries as she navigates love and ambition.
It’s a familiar push-and-pull for Maxton Hall, yet Season 2’s Oxford backdrop and the characters’ growing responsibilities give the romance new texture. Between family duty, grief, and the expectations placed on both leads, the series leans into the high-stakes emotions that made Season 1 a breakout—and dials them up.
New episodes are streaming on Prime Video globally in November 2025, with the show’s signature blend of glossy romance and coming-of-age drama intact.
Maxton Hall Season 3: Renewal, Release Window & What To Expect
Prime Video has officially renewed Maxton Hall for Season 3. The pickup arrived early—five months before Season 2 even premiered—signaling strong confidence in the series and giving production a head start on the final chapter.
The renewal news was shared by the stars themselves in June 2025. In an Instagram announcement, Harriet Herbig-Matten (Ruby) and Damian Hardung (James) celebrated the return, with Hardung holding up the Season 3 script as Herbig-Matten teased, “One last time back to school!” It’s a fitting tagline for a season expected to adapt Save Us and bring Ruby and James’ story to a definitive close.
As for timing, Prime Video hasn’t set a release date. However, the early green light suggests a shorter-than-usual gap between seasons. Given Season 2’s November 2025 launch and the series’ book-based roadmap, a 2026 premiere for Season 3 looks most likely, pending production schedules. Expect the streamer to clarify plans once filming and post-production are underway.
Story-wise, viewers can anticipate Maxton Hall’s trademark cocktail of heartache, reconciliation, and romance—now with endgame stakes. Save Us positions Ruby and James to confront the last, hardest versions of their conflicts: family legacies, personal integrity, and the question of what a future together actually looks like beyond school walls.
Crucially, Season 3 isn’t just about whether Ruby and James reunite; it’s about what they’ve learned. Ruby’s determination to set boundaries and James’ commitment to change are central to the show’s evolution. If Season 2 is about rebuilding trust under pressure, Season 3 is poised to test that trust in full.
Until Prime Video confirms the dates, fans can dive into Season 2—and the newly re-released English editions of Kasten’s trilogy—to chart how closely the adaptation tracks the books. With the final installment on the horizon, Maxton Hall is heading toward a finish that aims to satisfy both its swooning romantics and its more hard-nosed realists.
