Maxton Hall Trailer: James Vows to Fight for Expelled Ruby in Final Season

Ruby's dream is on the line in the new Maxton Hall – The World Between Us trailer. The clip opens with Harriet Herbig-Matten's character saying, over an image of her and a teacher edited to look compromising, that she's been expelled. Lexington (Thomas Douglas), the acting director of Maxton Hall, delivers the follow-up blow: Oxford is off the table.

Damian Hardung's James refuses to accept it. In the trailer he tells Ruby, as she's shut out of the elite English private school, that he won't stop until she's back at Maxton Hall. The two team up to prove her innocence, but according to the show's setup, the closer they get to the truth, the more it threatens to pull everything apart.

The third season is the last one, based on Save Us, the final book in Mona Kasten's bestselling trilogy. It comes from Fremantle's UFA Fiction, with Martin Schreier directing and Ceylan Yildirim serving as executive producer and head writer. Markus Brunnemann and Eike Adler also executive produce, Sandra Stöckmann shares head writer duties, and Valentin Debler returns as producer. Additional writers include Catharina Junk, Marlene Melchior and Aylin Kockler, and the series is backed by the German Motion Picture Fund.

Herbig-Matten and Hardung lead a cast that includes Sonja Weißer as Lydia, Eidin Jalali as Graham, Ben Felipe as Cyril, Fedja van Huêt as Mortimer, Runa Greiner as Ember, Justus Riesner as Alistair, Govinda Gabriel as Kesh, Andrea Guo as Lin, Frederic Balonier as Kieran, Eli Riccardi as Elaine and Dagny Dewath as Ophelia.

The stakes are high because the show has already proven it travels. Season 2 of the German-language drama hit number one in 42 markets, including the U.S., UK, Germany, France, Australia, Italy, Spain and Canada.

The six-part final season arrives in two drops. The first two episodes land on Prime Video December 9, with the finale closing things out on December 23.
