Maxton Hall's James Beaufort Confronts His Vulnerabilities in Gripping Season 2

As of November 10, 2025, Maxton Hall: The World Between Us Season 2 has been making waves on Prime Video, with audiences captivated by the emotional evolution of the show's protagonist, James Beaufort, played by Damian Hardung.

In the new season, James is no longer the snobbish young man from the first installment, but rather a character trying to heal, take responsibility, and even seek therapy. Hardung, in an exclusive interview, revealed that this version of James was more challenging to portray than the arrogant persona he had embodied in the previous season.

"Playing the arrogant guy is easy because that arrogance disguises the vulnerability," Hardung explained. "But now, in the second season, that cover doesn't hold up. You go down into the vulnerability, and you actually have to build your character around a stable version of who you are that integrates that vulnerability and doesn't neglect it."

Hardung's passion for the character and the show's themes is evident, as he also expressed a deep desire to visit India, particularly the state of Rajasthan, after hearing about its beauty from one of his best friends in Los Angeles. "I really have to go," the actor said, clearly captivated by the stories he's heard about the region.

With Maxton Hall Season 2 currently topping the charts as Prime Video's most-watched non-English show this week, audiences can expect to be swept up in the gripping journey of James Beaufort as he confronts his past and strives to become the person he wishes he had been all along.
