Maxton Hall's Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung exclusively told Us Weekly about the unexpected international interest in Ruby and James’ love story
Prime Video's Maxton Hall exceeded all expectations when it premiered — and Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung's undeniable chemistry had a lot to do with that.
Despite the show taking two years to be released, the timing couldn't be more perfect. Maxton Hall quickly found record-breaking success by being the most-watched non-U.S. title during its first week on Prime Video. It was renewed for a second season one week after its debut. 'I wasn't expecting to feel all these emotions. So it was so hard for me to process and to work through those emotions. That was really tough,' Herbig-Matten shared with Us about the ups and downs of taking on such a major project. 'I have never expected that honestly. But it was fun as well. But really hard.''The most important thing is to talk a lot and to know your boundaries. I've learned to stand up and to talk for myself.
'It got dropped I think in 19 languages and then we have sub in over 40 languages. It's been ranked the No. 1 show on Prime Video in over 120 regions. It's all these numbers that you can't really grasp with your own mind,' he shared. 'It's weird tuning in and listening to yourself . So that is fun.
'She's like a role model for me in that way. She's not changing her dreams. Because she's coming from a different social class, she has the urge to pay to fight against these injustices,' she explained. 'But then James comes into her life and everything is changing and mixed up and that is her inner conflict. That was so interesting to play.'
Hardung also highlighted the sheer amount of feeling that went into James and Ruby's pivotal moments. He concluded: 'I feel like that is just an aspect that we all feel and that we all want to be seen. We want to be expressed in that way and that has really been the beautiful response that I've been getting from all over the world. ... If a show can provoke those emotions, I feel more than grateful.'
