This Steamy Drama Just Scored a Season 3 Renewal—But There's Bittersweet Twist
The announcement came straight from Prime on Monday, with a playful video shared on social media. In the clip, stars Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung (AKA Ruby and James) appear as if they're on a FaceTime call.
'Damian,' Harriet teases, 'you won't believe what just arrived.' Cue both of them holding up the script for Season three, Episode one. 'It's here!' she exclaims. 'Finally, we can share the news.'
The caption? 'Maxton Hall calling… Season 3 is happening.'
Along with the exciting news of a third season, fans also got a bittersweet update—it'll be the show's last. 'One last time, back to school,' Damian Hardung said in the clip.
Naturally, the fandom exploded. 'SEASON 3?! OH MY GOD PRIME I LOVE YOU,' one fan commented. Another added, 'OMG OMG OMG I'M NOT OKAY.' A third chimed, "Christmas came early."
If you're new to the hype, Maxton Hall is based on the bestselling Save Me trilogy by Mona Kasten. Season three will pick up with up with Save Us, the final book, continuing Ruby and James's intense, slow-burn romance.
Season one follows Ruby, a scholarship student at the elite Maxton Hall, who stumbles upon a secret that puts her in the crosshairs of James Beaufort, the school's brooding golden boy. Sparks fly, secrets unravel and things get messy—in the best way.
The show originally premiered on May 9, 2024 and quickly became Prime Video's biggest non-American original—ranking #1 in over 120 countries.
Maxton Hall season two arrives November 7. And with season three already greenlit, it's safe to say we've found your next binge.

New on Prime Video in August 2025 — all the new shows and movies to stream this month
A new month means there's a smorgasbord of new Prime Video titles arriving on Amazon's popular streaming service. There's plenty to get excited about with Prime Video's August 2025 lineup. That's why we've laid out a comprehensive list of everything arriving on Prime Video this month. We've also spotlighted a few standout picks you won't want to miss, including the fourth and final season of Prime Video's sci-fi dramedy "Upload," the Oscar-winning "Conclave" and a new crime comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson. Not in the mood for these picks? Be sure to check out our curated guides to the best movies and shows currently on Prime Video for even more streaming recommendations. Now let's dive into everything new coming to Prime Video this August. Prime Video is following the success of "Heads of State" with an explosive new action comedy starring Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer this month. "The Pickup" looks like a funny enough comedy caper, one that fans of last summer's "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" or "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" will no doubt want to check out. Murphy and Davidson team up as a pair of armored truck drivers who get in way over their heads after a routine cash pickup goes horribly wrong. While en route to their destination, they're targeted by dangerous criminals. After a wild chase, the hijackers' savvy leader, Zoe (Keke Palmer), reveals their plans go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos erupts around them, the mismatched pair must navigate life-threatening dangers, clashing personalities, and the day from hell that just keeps getting worse. Stream 'The Pickup' on Prime Video from August 6 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar-winner "Conclave" is one movie I did not expect to love as much as I did. I put it on to pass the time during a trans-Atlantic flight earlier this year, and even half-asleep, watching from a teeny, tiny screen, I was glued from start to finish. I'm only half-joking when I describe it as "Mean Girls" at the Vatican, and I'm dead serious when I say it's got some of the top performances of Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci's careers. When the sudden death of the pope sparks a high-stakes election to choose his successor, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Fiennes) is tapped to lead the proceedings just as he's wrestling with his own crisis of faith. As the four favored candidates each outline their pitch for the church's future, Lawrence stumbles upon some shocking secrets hidden by the late pope — revelations that not only threaten to upend the election but could rock the very foundations of the Church. "Conclave's" all-star cast, compelling mystery, and Lawrence's affecting personal journey make this one Oscar winner I firmly believe everyone should watch. Stream 'Conclave' on Prime Video from August 9 "Upload" is one Prime Video original I haven't checked out yet, but given that it's created by "The Office" alum Greg Daniels, it's definitely earned a spot on my watchlist. Set in the not-so-far future of 2033, this sci-fi dramedy series imagines a world where people can upload their consciousness into a digital afterlife of their choosing. When computer programmer Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) dies in a tragic accident, he's uploaded to the luxurious virtual world of Lakeview thanks to his controlling, still-living girlfriend, Ingrid (Allegra Edwards). As he adjusts to his strange new reality, he begins to suspect there's more to his death than he was led to believe. In season 4, the cast will contend with a sentient AI threatening to wipe out Lakeview and the world. With just four episodes to pull off one of the show's most ambitious storylines yet, each installment promises to be packed with high-stakes tension, drama, and plenty of the series' signature wit.

GEN V Season 2 Trailer: Big THE BOYS Cameos, Heinous Secret Projects, and Bad Blood
Class is almost back in session at God U, and we can't wait to see what bloody exploits are next. Marie Moreau and her friends are living in a more dangerous world than ever before, returning to their not-so-beloved university after months of imprisonment. There's a new dean in charge and Supes are training to be soldiers in a war against humanity. This is all thanks to Homelander basically becoming the POTUS. So, what can we expect in Gen V season two? Prime Video and the show's creatives and stars did a big ole superhero landing at SDCC 2025 to reveal more details. One of the biggest reveals was a Gen V season two trailer that's incredibly bloody and introduces a mysterious new project involving God U called Odessa. In the clip, we get a surprise appearance by Annie, whom we last saw flying off as many of her Boys comrades were arrested. She tells Marie Moreau that she must go back to God U. Vought's Project Odessa is back in motion after many years and Marie is the one who has to stop it. There's a lot going on in this Gen V season two trailer, from big naked Emma to Black Noir. And we sadly see a file about Andre, which will lead to answers about that character's demise. As we know, Chance Perdomo sadly died in a motorcycle accident right before filming began for this season. Sean Patrick Thomas, who played Andre's father Polarity last season, will become a series regular now. And, we are also getting Ethan Slater as the infamous Thomas Godolkin in Gen V's second round. Personally, I'm excited about Hamish Linklater as the very terrible new dead at God U. In addition to this clip, we have a synopsis for this season: In Season Two, school is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.
