Ahead of Maxton Hall’s final season premiering in December 2026, key cast members are set to return—including Harriet Herbig-Matten, Damian Hardung, Sonja Weißer, Fedja van Huêt, Justus Riesner, Runa Greiner, Martin Neuhaus, and Julia-Maria Köhler. Damian Hard
When Maxton Hall first arrived on Prime Video in May 2024, it didn’t just find an audience—it made one. The German-language drama, built on Mona Kasten’s book series, raced to record-breaking success and became the most-watched non-U.S. title during its first week.
Now Prime Video is bringing it back for a third—and final—season. The final installment is confirmed to premiere in December 2026. and the biggest question for viewers is the one that always hits hardest: who will be there when Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) finally reach the end of their story?.
The romance at the center of Maxton Hall starts as unlikely enemies-to-lovers. with Ruby—an academic scholarship recipient—accidentally witnessing a secret that places her directly on the radar of the wealthy James. But the show’s momentum. and its pull. has always come from how far their connection stretches beyond chemistry. into family loyalties and the pressures of the outer world.
Hardung. who plays James. addressed that emotional destination in November 2025 when he spoke exclusively about the vision for the final chapter. His hope was simple: “(Them going into season 3 in a better place as a couple] would be my hope for them. They’ve been through so much. After all this, what else can there be that?” He tied that feeling directly to the series’ source material. “That’s why the third book [which inspires season 3] is called Save Us. Because it’s about the two of them actually being together and fighting against the outer world.”.
The cast list for season 3 reads like the backbone of the show’s world, with multiple returning characters expected to shape the final arc.
Harriet Herbig-Matten is reprising Ruby in season 3. Damian Hardung is also returning, and he was filming scenes for season 3 at the time of the conversation, with the plan for the season to wrap up Ruby and James’ love story.
Sonja Weißer is expected to be a major player in the final chapter as Lydia, James’ sister. Fedja van Huêt is also set to return, with the show’s trouble-making father at the center of the drama again—this time as the person stirring up trouble in season 3.
Justus Riesner is due to return as Alistair in season 3. Runa Greiner is back as well, with Ruby’s family continuing to be explored in the final run. Martin Neuhaus is also likely to appear as Ruby and Ember’s father.
And Julia-Maria Köhler, who originated the role of Ruby and Ember’s mother, is returning in a way that matters to long-time viewers: Gina Henkel took over the role starting in season 2, but Köhler originated it before that change.
The final season is already on the calendar—December 2026—while the story’s direction is being shaped by the third book titled Save Us. With Ruby and James stepping into season 3 as a couple. the cast expected to return makes it clear the ending won’t be just about romance. It’s also about who stands close. who pulls away. and what the outer world tries to take from them when the show reaches its last act.
