Inside ‘Maxton Hall’s Most Devastating Scene Yet With Harriet Herbig-Matten

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers from Maxton Hall — The World Between Us Season 2 Episode 1.]

Maxton Hall Season 2 has only dropped three episodes, but it’s already put Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) through the wringer. Episode 1 features one of their most devastating scenes yet, and Herbig-Matten told Swooon that it was just as intense to film as it was to watch.

The season kicks off with a grief-stricken James drunkenly cheating on Ruby — who has no idea about his mother’s death — right in front of her.
