The school bell has rung to begin filming on season 2 of Prime Video hit Maxton Hall — The World Between Us.
A second season of the show, which is set in a UK private school but filmed in Germany by UFA Fiction, was ordered soon after the series’ debut became Amazon’s biggest ever non-u.S. original launch. After launching on May 9, it topped Prime Video charts in 120 territories.
The success made overnight stars of leads Damian Hardung and Harriet Herbig-Matten and has spiked interest in Hanover, the German city where it is filmed.
Mild spoiler to follow: The show follows Ruby Bell (Herbig-Matten), a girl from a humble background who wins a scholarship to an elite college, and her relationship with the uber-privileged heir James Beaufort (Hardung). Season two begins after the pair share a night together in Oxford. Everything seems to be going perfectly for Ruby, but but a...

Germany’s UFA Group has brought in a senior Netflix exec, as part of a management re-org.
Natalie Clausen has been named COO of the Fremantle-owned German production giant, and will join its management board on February 19.
She was most recently Senior Production Manager for German-speaking countries, working on productions such as The Empress, Kleo and Liebskind. Prior to Netflix, she worked on big-ticket German shows such as Babylon Berlin and UFA shows Charité and Deutschland 89.
She’ll report to UFA CEO Sascha Schwingel, who took on his role in September. Schwingel replaced Nico Hofmann, who had been with the Generation War maker for more than 25 years.
Clearly, the restructuring didn’t end there, and the addition of Clausen will “provide valuable input to create even more space for creativity in a flexible, lean organization and with the clever use of technology,” according to Schwingel.
