Ceylan Yildirim, Executive Producer at UFA Fiction: “Starting May 9, 2024, our ‘series baby’ will take the world by storm. We couldn’t be prouder! For us, Harriet Herbig-Matten and Damian Hardung are the perfect cast for our contrasting couple. The special chemistry between them was already palpable in the early casting phase. The energy and joy they brought to their performances during filming deeply moved us all. Surrounded by a cast of exceptionally talented fellow actors, they explore in our series what love is truly capable of and whether it can transcend the boundaries of societal expectations, family obligations, and personal beliefs. We’d like to thank our partners at Amazon Studios—especially Petra Hengge and Philip Pratt—for their trusting collaboration, with whom we brought *MAXTON HALL – THE WORLD BETWEEN US* to life from the very beginning.”
