'Maxton Hall’s' Damian Hardung Broke Down Season 2’s Ending, And What It Tells Us About James And Ruby Going Into Season 3

MAJOR spoilers for the Season 2 finale of "Maxton Hall" are ahead! If you haven’t watched it yet, go stream it with an Amazon Prime subscription.

Season 1 of "Maxton Hall" ended with devastation for James, and him not asking Ruby for help. Season 2 of "Maxton Hall" ended its run on the 2025 TV schedule with the two of them hugging, however, as he supported her through her own tragic situation. So, considering this juxtaposition and the bombshells dropped in the final minutes of the show’s sophomore season, I had to ask Damian Hardung, who plays James, about it, and he explained what this final moment says about the main couple going into Season 3.

Alright, here’s what went down. In the final moments of Season 2, Ruby and Mr. Sutton were both suspended from the school because it was believed that she was the one in a relationship with the teacher. In reality, Lydia is the one romantically involved with Mr. Sutton, she’s pregnant, and he’s the father. However, Ruby is taking the fall, which means she’s out of school and out of Oxford. It’s a true tragedy for everyone involved, and the last scene shows them all emotional over what’s going on.
