'Maxton Hall,' a German-language teen drama about starcrossed lovers divided by class lines, became a runaway hit after dropping on Prime Video in May. Based on a series of three books by Mona Kasten, many fans wanted to read the original story after finishing the six-episode season. But English-speaking readers hit a hurdle: there was no English translation of the German-language books, unlike the show, which offers subtitles and was dubbed.
But when she learns a secret about the affluent Beaufort family, she gets noticed by prodigal son James . What ensues is a sweeping teen enemies-to-lovers romance set against the drama and chaos of an elite private school. 'Maxton Hall' Season 1 premiered on Prime Video May 9, and by June, became the the platform's most watched international original series of all time. It was renewed for a second season just days after premiering.
