Full trailer breakdown + secret ending explained:

Prime Video unleashed the official trailer for Maxton Hall Season 2 Episode 4 in the early hours of November 10, 2025, and the internet has officially imploded. Titled internally “The Fall of the House of Beaufort,” the 62-second sizzler confirms the wildest leaks: James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) dramatically severs all ties with the family empire in a confrontation that leaves billionaire patriarch Mortimer (Fedja van Huêt) speechless and Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) shattered on the marble staircase.

The trailer opens with James’ ice-cold voiceover: “You taught me that Beauforts don’t feel. Today I stop being a Beaufort.” Cut to him hurling the legendary sapphire family ring into the fireplace while Mortimer roars, “You’ll have NOTHING!” Flash frames reveal the fallout: James packing a single duffel bag, Ruby begging in the rain, Lydia (Sonja Weißer) clutching ultrasound photos labeled “TWINS,” and Aunt Ophelia (new cast member Justus von Dohnányi in drag-level glamour) smirking over a freshly opened will that apparently excludes Mortimer entirely.

Hidden details dissected by fans within minutes:

The will is dated the day before Cordelia’s death, signed in her trembling hand.
A burning envelope addressed to “James & Lydia – Young Beaufort Collection” hints at a secret fashion empire worth billions.
Ruby’s hand instinctively protects her stomach, reigniting pregnancy rumors.
Cyril’s silhouette holding a phone recording everything, final blackmail incoming.

Episode 4, dropping November 14 at 8 PM CET as part of Prime’s new weekly schedule, picks up immediately after Episode 3’s gala triumph. Sources on set in Potsdam confirm this is the season’s turning point: James goes from heir to outcast in under 48 hours, forcing him to choose between billions and the girl who never cared about his money.

Director Tarek Roehlinger told German press, “Episode 4 is our Empire Strikes Back, everything the audience thinks they know about power gets flipped.” Hardung posted a cryptic Instagram story at 3 AM: a single broken crown emoji and the caption “Freedom tastes like rain and revenge.”

Reddit’s r/MaxtonHall is in meltdown:

Theory 1: Cordelia knew Mortimer caused her “accident” and left everything to the kids.
Theory 2: Ruby is pregnant (flashback to Episode 2’s unprotected wine-cellar scene).
Theory 3: James signs away his shares but keeps the Young Beaufort brand, instant billionaire again, just without Daddy’s strings.

The trailer ends on a gut-punch: James and Ruby in the school courtyard, him whispering “I have nothing left to lose now… except you,” before Elaine appears with a positive pregnancy test of her own. Cue black screen and the single word: “CHOICE.”

Prime Video Germany’s view counter crashed twice in the first hour. Season 2 has already surpassed Season 1’s total views in just four days, with Episode 4 trending worldwide before it even airs.

Cast reactions flooding in:

Harriet Herbig-Matten live-tweeted: “I cried filming the staircase scene for 6 hours straight. You’re not ready.”
Damian Hardung: “James finally grows a spine. Best episode we’ve ever shot.”
Sonja Weißer: “Lydia stealing every scene this week. Twins = double chaos.”

Book fans note this diverges wildly from Save You, where James never fully leaves the empire, but showrunner Ute Fischbach defends it: “We wanted to show what happens when grief and toxic masculinity collide with real love. Episode 4 is the consequence.”

Easter eggs spotted:

The ring James throws is the exact one from Season 1’s elevator scene.
Background score samples “Clocks” by Coldplay, Ruby’s ringtone from Episode 1.
Final frame freezes at 00:00:365 on a digital clock, 365 Days callback or countdown to disaster?

With Episodes 5-6 already filmed and Season 3 greenlit, Episode 4 is poised to smash every streaming record Prime Video Germany has. One thing is certain: by Thursday night, the Beaufort empire will lie in ashes, and we’ll all be picking sides in the comments.

James Beaufort is no longer the prince. He’s the revolution.
