Prime Video has just dropped the first full-fledged trailer for its upcoming young adult show ‘Maxton Hall’. The German language show premieres on Prime Video worldwide on 9th May, 2024.
The new show, Maxton Hall – The World Between Us is adapted from Mona Kasten’s bestselling novel ‘Save Me’. The narrative is set in the backdrop of Maxton Hall, the elite school for the rich and famous. Ruby Bell is an anomaly at school, as she comes from a working class background, who’s got admission on the basis of a scholarship. Ruby unwittingly witnesses an explosive secret related to rich brat James Beaufort. The six-episode drama tells the modern love story of James and Ruby, set in a world of glamor, prestige, secrets and drama.
The trailer for Maxton Hall lays bare the class divide prevailing in society, and the snootiness that is standard fare at elite schools, and among the rich. Harriet Herbig-Matten plays Ruby Bell, while Damian Hardung portrays James in the German language adaptation of the book.
Maxton Hall is adapted by screenwriter Daphne Ferraro, co-directed by Martin Schreier (‘Dream Factory’) and Tarek Roehlinger (‘A State of Emergency’) and produced by Markus Brunnemann and Valentin Debler.
The official logline for Maxton Hall reads – “When Ruby unwittingly witnesses an explosive secret at Maxton Hall private school, the arrogant millionaire heir James Beaufort has to deal with the quick-witted scholarship student for better or worse. From that point on, the handsome student tries to buy Ruby’s silence. Although the two come from different worlds, they will soon risk everything to be together.”
All six episodes of Maxton Hall premiere on Prime Video worldwide on 9th May, 2024. Have a look at the trailer of the series –
