Maxton Hall cast: Who stars in season 2 of the Prime Video teen drama?

by

Maxton Hall, a six-episode series on Prime Video, is based on the popular young adult novel ‘Save Me’ by German author Mona Kasten.

The show features Harriet Herbig-Matten as Ruby Bell, a student who receives a scholarship to attend the exclusive Maxton Hall private school.

In season one, Damian Hardung plays James Beaufort, a wealthy and arrogant man who tries to silence a woman after she discovers a shocking secret.

But they’re both caught off guard when a spark develops between them and they fall for one another.

Ruby is on top of the world after a romantic night in Oxford and with her biggest dream seemingly within grasp. However, a family crisis for James unexpectedly throws everything off course, and he’s the one who forces Ruby to confront a difficult new reality.

Ruby is heartbroken. She’s never felt so strongly about anyone as she does for James, and no one has ever hurt her this much.

She longs for the days before Maxton Hall, when she was anonymous and didn’t feel like she belonged to her classmates’ exclusive circle. However, she can’t move on, especially with James relentlessly trying to rekindle their relationship.

According to head writer and producer Ceylan Yildirim, the new episodes will immediately show the profound impact of James and Lydia’s mother’s unexpected death on the Beaufort family. You’ll feel the deep loss right away.

The emergency forces Ruby and James to face their deep connection, acknowledge their hurt, and deal with the emotions they’ve been hiding.

Amidst all the turmoil, they’re trying to figure out what their relationship means and what’s truly important to them. They need to discover if their love can survive this difficult time.

Several actors from the first season, including Herbig-Matten and Hardung, are back for the show’s second season.

Harriet Herbig-Matten plays Ruby Bell

Ruby Bell is a teenager from a working-class background who finds herself at Maxton Hall, a prestigious school where she doesn’t quite fit in. She unexpectedly falls in love with James, a student from a very different world.

What else has Harriet Herbig-Matten been in? She’s best known for Prime Video’s Bibi & Tina.

Damian Hardung plays James Beaufort

James Beaufort is a wealthy and privileged man, a stark contrast to Ruby. While Ruby is down-to-earth, James has a strong sense of entitlement. Despite their differences, they begin to fall for each other after Ruby discovers a damaging secret about his sister.

Besides his current work, Damian Hardung has also acted in the comedy-drama Club der roten BĂ€nder, the Netflix series How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast), and Red Bracelets: The Beginning.

Additional Maxton Hall cast includes:

  • Sonja Weißer (Notruf Hafenkante) plays Lydia Beaufort – James’s twin sister. “Lydia goes through a major development in the second season that is difficult to summarise,” said Weißer. “From the beginning, she is an incredibly reflective and emotionally equipped young woman, but in this season she has to go through many painful experiences.”
  • Ben Felipe (Stichtag) plays Cyril Vega – he’s part of James’s friendship group. Cyril also has feeling for Lydia. “For me personally, filming the second season was something very special because Cyril develops so strongly,” said Felipe. “I got to play great scenes that I think people can really look forward to seeing.”
  • Fedja Van HuĂȘt (AmnesiA) as Mortimer Beaufort – James and Lydia’s father. Mortimer is a ruthless power broker who wants James to take over the company.
  • Runa Greiner (Rampensau) as Ember Bell – Ruby’s sister and her best friend. She’s an aspiring fashion designer.
  • Justus Riesner (Loving Her) as Alistair Ellington – James’s closest friend.

  • Frederic Balonier (The Drag and Us) as Kieran Rutherford – he’s part of the event committee with Ruby and Lin.
  • Eli Riccardi (Mandy und die MĂ€chte des Bösen) as Elaine Ellington – one of the school’s mean girls. Elaine has her eyes on James.
  • Gina Henkel (Krzyk: Losing Control) as Helen Bell – Ruby’s mother. She has a good relationship with her daughter.
  • Martin Neuhaus (SOKO Wismar) as Angus Bell – Ruby’s father. Like her mother, he has a close relationship with his daughter.
  • Hyun Wanner (CharitĂ©) as Percy – James’s chauffeur. Percy is like a father to James.
  • Esmael Agostinho (Sacha) as Wren Fitzgerald – a close friend of James’s.
