Some secrets aren’t written in wills. They’re buried with the dead. And Season 3 begins where the truth was last hidden—unearthing a legacy of lies, power struggles, and forbidden love that threatens to destroy everything Ruby Bell and James Beaufort have fought for.

Maxton Hall – The World Between Us returns for its third and final season on Prime Video in 2026, adapting the explosive conclusion of Mona Kasten’s trilogy with Save Us. After Season 2’s devastating cliffhanger—Ruby suspended from Maxton Hall, evidence pointing to James, and the Beaufort empire crumbling—Season 3 plunges into the fallout. Ruby teeters on the edge, her Oxford dreams shattered and love for James tested like never before. But deeper family secrets emerge, including buried truths about inheritance, betrayal, and ghosts from the past that refuse to stay silent.

The Buried Truth: Plot Teases from Save Us

Season 3 opens with Ruby devastated and isolated, desperate for her old life back—away from Maxton Hall’s elitism and the pain James causes. But forgetting him proves impossible as he fights to win her trust amid accusations he’s behind her expulsion.

Inheritance takes center stage: Mortimer Beaufort’s machinations unravel family fortunes, exposing hidden wills, rival claims, and deadly secrets tied to the dead. Sibling rivalries explode (Lydia and James unite against threats?), while Ruby grapples with class divides, ambition, and whether love can survive manipulation.

Expect emotional highs: reconciliations, steamy tension, and heartbreaking sacrifices. The creators promise a “satisfying yet bittersweet” end—one last clash of worlds, with no easy happily ever after.

The Stars: Damian Hardung and Harriet Herbig-Matten Return

The electric chemistry between Damian Hardung (James Beaufort) and Harriet Herbig-Matten (Ruby Bell) anchors the finale. Hardung’s brooding heir faces losing everything—inheritance, family, Ruby—while Herbig-Matten’s resilient scholarship girl fights for independence amid chaos.

Supporting cast returns: Sonja Weißer (Lydia), Fedja van Huêt (Mortimer), Eidin Jalali (Graham), and more. New faces may stir rivalries and revelations.

Hardung and Herbig-Matten announced the renewal themselves in June 2025, hinting “one last time” at Maxton Hall—confirming Season 3 as the end.

Why Season 3 Will Unearth Everything: Finality Adds Stakes

This isn’t just closure—it’s excavation. Secrets buried generations deep surface, forcing confrontations over power, loyalty, and love. Ruby and James’ enemies-to-lovers arc reaches its peak: Can they rebuild amid ruins?

Prime Video’s global hit (most-watched international original ever) ends on its terms, faithful to the books. No spin-offs confirmed, but the door cracks open.

As Christmas 2025 fades, anticipation builds for 2026’s release. The dead don’t stay buried forever—and neither do the truths that could save or destroy Ruby and James.
