‘Maxton Hall’ Star Damian Hardung Discusses Intense Season 2 Challenges

deadline.com:

Damian Hardung has opened up on filming the sophomore season of Maxton Hall – The World Between Us. Avoiding specific spoilers but speaking broadly about his character James Beaufort’s arc in the upcoming series, he said: “I just did the ADR for it and the second season is really dark and [there’s] a lot of grief and trauma in my character.” He added: “I had a really tough time shooting that, it really pushed me to a point where I’m like: ‘I don’t know if that’s healthy anymore.’ So, I’m really eager to see how that played out on screen.” Hardung, whose other credits include How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) and Love Sucks, was speaking on the ‘Short Take’ podcast from German Films.

There is still no specific launch date for the new season of Maxton Hall beyond at some point in 2025. The first series of the YA romantic drama was a breakout hit for Amazon.

It topped the Prime Video charts in 120 territories making it the streamer’s biggest ever international original series launch.

The UFA Fiction-produced series is based on Mona Kasten’s book trilogy. It follows Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten), a girl from a humble background who wins a scholarship to an elite college, and her relationship with the uber-privileged heir James Beaufort.
