‘Maxton Hall’ Season 2 Wraps Filming as Enthusiastic Fans Flock to the Set; Prime Video Germany Executive Hints at Future of Popular YA Series
Excitement is brewing among fans of the hit series Maxton Hall as Season 2 wraps up filming, with speculation swirling about the potential for a Season 3. Christoph Schneider, the Country Director of Prime Video Germany and Austria, shared insights on the show during the Seriesly event in Berlin.
Maxton Hall – The World Between Us has been a standout success for Amazon Prime Video, emerging as the platform’s most significant international program to date. Schneider revealed that the production team faced challenges during filming in Germany due to enthusiastic fans flocking to the set. Despite the hurdles, production successfully concluded last week.
The series, based on Mona Kasten’s book trilogy, is produced by UFA. Schneider attributed the show’s success to its compelling source material, exceptional production quality, and the stellar performances of the cast. He emphasized that the ensemble cast, not just the lead actors, contributed to making Maxton Hall a standout production, dubbing it a “unicorn show.” Schneider also hinted at the possibility of a third season, stating that plans are in place for a total of three seasons.
While initial reports seemed to confirm a Season 3, Amazon representatives have downplayed these claims, clarifying that while the streaming service holds options for all three books in the series, a formal production order for a third season is yet to be finalized. However, given the show’s immense popularity and the producers’ expressed desire for a three-season arc, the likelihood of a Season 3 remains high.
Schneider highlighted Maxton Hall’s significance within Amazon, describing it as a defining series both locally and internationally. The show’s enduring appeal has defied conventional viewership trends, with sustained viewer interest surpassing the typical 30-day window used to gauge a show’s success. Schneider expressed gratitude for the show’s enthusiastic fan base, emphasizing the rarity of such dedicated viewership.
In conclusion, Maxton Hall continues to captivate audiences with its engaging storyline and talented cast, setting the stage for a potential Season 3 that promises to deliver more of the magic that has made the series a standout success.
