About Maxton Hall - The World Between Us
Maxton Hall - The World Between Us is a German romance drama for Amazon Prime Video, adapted from Mona Kasten's bestselling 2018 novel Save Me. It is set at Maxton Hall, an exclusive and tradition-bound English private school where the children of the super-rich are groomed for glittering futures. Into this world walks Ruby Bell, a sharp, hard-working scholarship student who keeps her head down, guards her ambitions, and wants nothing more than to graduate quietly and earn a place at Oxford.
Her plan unravels the day she accidentally overhears a secret that the school's wealthiest family would do anything to keep hidden. James Beaufort, the arrogant and impossibly privileged heir to a fashion empire, is dispatched to make sure Ruby stays silent. Their first clashes are all friction and contempt, two people from opposite ends of the social ladder who seem to want nothing to do with each other, until the constant collisions begin to spark something neither of them expected or wanted to feel.
As Ruby and James are thrown together again and again, the series pulls in the pressures that surround them: the cold expectations of the Beaufort dynasty, the watchful loyalty of James's twin sister Lydia, and the gulf between a girl who has fought for everything and a boy who has been handed the world. Lush, emotional, and hugely popular with fans, the show became one of Prime Video's biggest non-American launches, balancing swoony enemies-to-lovers romance with a pointed look at class, privilege, and the cost of belonging.
