Videos and images of the duo quickly went viral on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with fans sharing clips of the co-stars laughing, touching, and exchanging warm gestures. Many users commented on their palpable chemistry, suggesting the on-screen couple’s connection may extend beyond their roles as James Beaufort and Ruby Bell. While neither actor has commented on the rumors, their interactions have only intensified excitement for the upcoming season.

At the premiere, Harriet Herbig-Matten turned heads in a sheer blue gown before later changing into a shimmering silver dress, while Damian Hardung kept his look simple and elegant in an all-black outfit. The pair posed together for photos and were frequently seen holding hands throughout the event.

Maxton Hall: The World Between Us, adapted from Mona Kasten’s bestselling novel, follows Ruby Bell, a scholarship student navigating the elite world of Maxton Hall Academy, and James Beaufort, the privileged heir to the school’s legacy. Season 2 picks up after a dramatic conclusion to the first season, exploring themes of grief, emotional healing, and young love in the aftermath of tragedy.

According to Prime Video, the new season promises heightened emotional stakes and deeper character development, making it one of the platform’s most anticipated young adult dramas of 2025.
