In a reel posted by the official Amazon Prime Video Facebook page, Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung share the microphone to announce that production has begun on Maxton Hall Season 2. In the clip, the pair introduce themselves and their characters and further add that today is their first day on set. Despite being set in an English boarding school, the show is in fact filmed in the German City of Hanover, with tourism spiking thanks to the wild success of the series. Both Harriet and Damian became instant superstars following the show’s release, with their portrayals of Ruby and James two of the most detailed and well-cast teen drama leads in recent years.
In the clip, the pair are clearly back wearing the iconic Maxton Hall uniform, with the anticipation for the second season at an all-time high. After a whirlwind final episode of Season 1, many plot threads were left untied, leaving the millions who indulged in the series begging for answers. On May 17, prayers were answered when the sophomore season was officially greenlit, which was no surprise given the immense success of the first outing. After it first debuted on May 9, the show quickly became Amazon’s biggest-ever non-U.S. original launch and even managed to top Prime Video charts in 120 territories.
