Maxton Hall — The World Between Us took Prime Video by storm when it released in May 2024. The German-language romance series, adapted from Mona Kasten’s book Save Me, follows the epic enemies-to-lovers romance between Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James Beaufort (Damian Hardung) at their posh prep school Maxton Hall. The show dominated Prime Video and became the streamer’s biggest international original launch ever. Naturally, it didn’t take any time for the young adult drama to be renewed for a second season. Just weeks after the renewal, Hardung and Herbig-Matten are back on set filming the second season. Prime Video released exciting content from set and revealed Ruby’s dark hair makeover. Scroll down for the latest updates about Maxton Hall Season 2. When is Maxton Hall Season 2 coming out? Maxton Hall Season 2 does not have a release date yet, but it will likely be 2025 before we see new episodes.

If P.E. was your favourite subject at school, then oh boy, are you in for a treat. We’ve reached the time of year when British television suddenly gets very P.E.

Warning: Contains spoilers for ‘Rogue’
This first series of Doctor Who’s latest reboot has been a lot of things — silly (‘Space Babies’), spectacular (‘The Devil’s Chord’), intense (‘Boom’), scary (‘73 Yards’), and, by the end of last week’s Black Mirror aping ‘Dot And Bubble’, pretty damn bleak even too. But not since Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson’s first outing as the Doctor and Ruby Sunday, ‘The Church On Ruby Road’, have we had an episode as outrageously fun Regency-era romp ‘Rogue’. Poured from the pens of guest writers Kate Herron and Briony Redman, this week’s adventure is good old-fashioned monster-of-the-week Who with a deliciously queer twist.
Leaving Finetime well behind, ‘Rogue’ finds the Doctor and Ruby in early 19th-century Bath, enjoying a ball at the stately mansion home of the Duchess of Pemberton (a suitably hissable Indira Varma). All britches, bodices, “You cad!” admonishments, and anachronistic...

Rappers $crim and Ruby da Cherry, the duo known as $uicideboy$, are both recovering opioid addicts, and they treat their battles with drugs, depression, and suicidal ideation as a flex. Not to put too fine a point on it, their 20-part mixtape series is titled Kill Yourself. And the New Orleans pair’s fourth studio album, the aptly titled New World Depression, delivers even more posturing.
$uicideboy$’s rapid-fire flow, defined by thick Southern accents and sudden shifts from rapping to singing, harkens back to Memphis horrorcore, though they’ve moved away from the Three 6 Mafia imitations of their early music. The tense piano and scratching of the catchy “Us Vs. Them” is a clear pivot toward a ’90s New York hip-hop sound.
While $crim and Ruby are now in their 30s, tracks like “The Thin Grey Line” have a teenage edgelord quality to them: “Talking about killing got my dick getting hard.

What’s always coming but never arrives? Tomorrow, and LGBT+ romances in Bridgerton. Ever since the Shondaland show turned Regency race-relations on their head to create an inclusive version of 19th century England, people have asked when it will do the same for queer love stories. Mixed in with the steamy duke and debutante storylines, will the escapist period drama step outside of its source material to also offer up some duke/duke or deb/deb plots?
Absolutely, the makers of Bridgerton have said, but you’ll have to wait. Creator Chris Van Dusen told Q Voice News in 2022 that, after scratching the surface of queer representation with the story of artist Sir Henry Granville in season one, “hopefully, we’re going to be able to expand on that even more in future seasons.”

Cartoon Network has always been a place of experimentation. In the early years, shows like "Dexter's Laboratory" brought Sam Raimi references to animation. In the early '00s, shows like "Samurai Jack," "Ben 10," and "Codename: Kids Next Door," added deep mythologies and more serialized storytelling. And in the 2010s, the network experimented with visuals in shows like "Flapjack" and "Adventure Time," which brought weirdness back into Cartoon Network.
This experimentation continued, with animators who got their start on the likes of "Flapjack" going on to develop influential and fantastic shows on their own. Still, as bold and imaginative as all these shows were, they were still mostly white men in charge of creating those cartoons. That all changed in 2013 with the release of "Steven Universe" -- one of the best cartoons of the century and a deeply emotional and inventive show inspired by superheroes and magical-girl anime.

Doctor Who Makes History With First Romantic Same-Sex Kiss Featuring Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor - Spoilers
This weekend's episode of Doctor Who, "Rogue," is generating a lot of discussion online. Why? Well, it features the franchise's first romantic same-sex kiss...and the Doctor is the one doing the smooching!
Ncuti Gatwa is the first queer actor to play the iconic sci-fi character and, with queer TV writer Russell T Davies back in charge of the series, we'd expected a trailblazing moment like this to make it into an episode sooner rather than later.
Now, it's finally happened as we see the Doctor fall in love with a man; gay actor Jonathan Groff's enigmatic Rogue.
As we first explained on SFFGazette.com, it begins with the Doctor and Ruby Sunday arriving at a Bridgerton-like ball, only for it to become clear there are alien shapeshifters causing chaos. Rogue, who many fans theorised could be the new Captain Jack (he isn't), is a bounty hunter tasked with bringing them in and,...

Warning: spoilers for Doctor Who series 14 episode 6 “Rogue”
Doesn’t the Tardis have a sniffer dog function? A pair of hi-tech space nostrils to which the Doctor can hold up a handkerchief or discarded glove and say ‘There, girl, get the scent!’? Somewhere on that flashy console must be the facility to scan a personal item, find the space coordinates of its owner, and bound off in pursuit, tongue out and tail wagging.
Perhaps this model only came fitted with the coffee machine as standard, because when Ruby asked if the Tardis could track down the Doctor’s latest love interest, played by Jonathan Groff, she was told no. “There are as many dimensions as there are atoms in the universe,” said the Doctor. “Don’t even know his real name.”
That makes two of them.

When the Doctor and Ruby traveled back to 1813, they risked changing time, but it seemed that time changed them instead.
Doctor Who Season 1 Episode 6 combined the new season's traditional campiness with a bona fide creepy alien story and new heartbreak for the Doctor after he's already lost so much.
The long-awaited Jonathan Groff guest spot didn't disappoint, though the story was ironically similar to one that aired on Torchwood in 2005.
Historical Stories Can Be Problematic on Doctor Who
Historical stories were originally part of the Doctor Who landscape because the series was intended to educate British schoolchildren.
These early stories were historically accurate, and the Doctor was careful never to change anything.
However, in modern Who episodes, visiting history risks accidentally altering things that should not be altered.
This is especially true this season, where the word "gravity" was changed to "mavity" when Isaac Newton misheard Donna, and Ruby almost...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Doctor Who Season 1 Episode 6 “Rogue.”] “Oh my Bridgerton.” Doctor Who leans into the fun of the Netflix series with its trip to 1813, and while the Duchess (Indira Varma) may start by looking for a match for Ruby (Millie Gibson), it’s the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) who has a fun (but heartbreaking) romance. The Doctor crosses paths with a bounty hunter Rogue (Jonathan Groff), with both thinking the other is responsible for a dead body; there are Chuldurs (shape-shifters) in their midst, and after the classic misunderstanding comes the bonding (on both their ships), almost kiss (on the Tardis), sweet moments (a dance), and heartbreaking separation (Rogue takes Ruby’s spot in a trap designed to transport the Chuldur to a random barren dimension). The presence of a character played by Susan Twist continues (this time a portrait), and we can’t help but wonder who Rogue’s new boss is,...

This episode is delightful.
Thanks for reading, see you next week!
Ok, obviously there’s more to it than that. For a comparatively lightweight romp in which the Doctor and Ruby battle silly-looking bird aliens cosplaying an episode of Bridgerton, there’s plenty going on under the hood. But if you’re after the tl;dr, delightful really does the job. The writing by Kate Herron and Briony Redman, is sharp, full of funny lines and clever misdirects. The performances directed by Ben Chessell, are all on point – the leads are predictably great, but the guest stars are also completely dialled in, particularly Jonathan Groff. The costumes naturally look sensational because the BBC can do this stuff with its eyes closed. The whole thing is just a really good time.
So, where to start? Perhaps with a question that has been hanging in...

Throughout its more than 60 years on television, Doctor Who has always been one of the most popular shows in the UK. Sitting down with the family to watch the new Doctor Who episode was a tradition that spanned generations, with each person having their own first Tardis journey with the current Doctor, who often ended up being their favorite.
While the older generations long for the return of classic Doctor Who, the seasons that aired before the hiatus in the 90s, the younger ones are joining the new adventure with the 15th Doctor, portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa. And now, more than ever, Doctor Who is on the receiving end of bigotry.

While the older generations long for the return of classic Doctor Who, the seasons that aired before the hiatus in the 90s, the younger ones are joining the new adventure with the 15th Doctor, portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa. And now, more than ever, Doctor Who is on the receiving end of bigotry.

*Warning — this review contains some spoilers for 'Boom'*
Ever since Ncuti Gatwa took over the Tardis keys to become Doctor Who’s Fifteenth Doctor, things have been pretty non-stop for everybody’s favourite Time Lord. From playing cosmic catch with Neil Patrick Harris’ Toymaker in 60th anniversary special debut ‘The Giggle’, to scat-battling a goblin king with new companion Ruby Sunday (Gibson) in Christmas outing ‘The Church On Ruby Road’, to run-ins with space babies, bogeymen, Beatles, and the celestial embodiment of music itself in 'Space Babies' and 'The Devil's Chord', there’s barely been a moment for the Doctor — or indeed the show’s viewers — to take a breath. All of that changes with ‘Boom’, a stripped back, slowed down, and cheek-clenchingly suspenseful character study from former Who showrunner — and Weeping Angels creator — Steven Moffat.

*Warning — this review contains some spoilers for '73 Yards'*
With last week’s incendiary chamber-piece ‘Boom’, Steven Moffat took Doctor Who back to basics, delivering in the process the first true classic of the show’s latest reboot. Give it some time, and Russell T. Davies’ follow up, '73 Yards', may yet prove to be its second. Emphatically swinging the series’ genre pendulum back from sci-fi to the supernatural, Davies' latest self-penned offering is a deliciously dark, near-Doctorless diversion into folk horror territory. Eerie, elegiac, and ambiguous almost to a fault, it's a properly haunting tale that’s destined to be talked about, debated, and theorised upon for years to come.
Right from the get-go, it’s clear this isn’t going to be your average episode of Doctor Who. A pointed lack of opening titles adds an extra chill to ‘73 Yards’’s cold open, which sees the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa...

Warning: Contains some spoilers for ‘Dot And Bubble’
For anyone who might’ve found last week’s folk horror-inflected episode of Doctor Who, ‘73 Yards’, a little too ambiguous, you’ll have no such quibbles with the series’ follow-up offering, ‘Dot And Bubble’. A candy-coloured cautionary tale about the perils of tech dependency and online echo chambers set in a world where everybody lives in literal social media bubbles, the fifth episode of Russell T. Davies’ Who reboot is about as subtle as a flatulent Slitheen. But unsubtle doesn’t necessarily mean ineffective, and despite the heavy-handedness of its opening throes, Davies’ Black Mirror-riffing latest eventually builds to a flooring sucker punch of a finale that would stop even Charlie Brooker in his tracks.
After the darkness of ‘Boom’ and the wintry chill of ‘73 Yards’, ‘Dot And Bubble’ sees Davies whisk viewers away to Finetime, a pastel-paletted, domed-in alien idyll populated by rich-kid human colonists.

First things first: yes, that is her real name, or at least the one that she’s gone by professionally since 1980 (you can check the end credits on previous shows). Susan Twist is indeed the actor who has made a cameo appearance in every episode of Doctor Who this series, as well as the 2023 Christmas special and anniversary adventure “Wild Blue Yonder”.
That fact is worth establishing because “Susan Twist” is a ridiculously fun name for a Doctor Who actor to have. That’s because the show’s first season in 1963 introduced a 15-year-old character named Susan Foreman, the Doctor’s granddaughter. Susan was left behind on 22nd century Earth after falling in love with a local boy, and was told by the Doctor in 1964 episode “Flashpoint” that one day he would come back (though if he did, we never saw him do it).

Warning: contains plot spoilers for “Dot and Bubble”.
If you needed to know who the Fifteenth Doctor is, then “Space Babies” told you: he’s not just the guy who saves the babies from the monster, he also saves the monster itself. That episode established the Doctor and Ruby as equal opportunities rescuers; not only extending the hand of help to the adorable, but also to disgusting creatures made of snot. “That’s what you do,” explained Ruby in the series 14 opener, “you save everyone.”
As hero manifestos go, it couldn’t have been clearer. And then… it instantly stopped being true. Over the course of the next four episodes, the Doctor didn’t save a soul.
In “The Devil’s Chord”, John Lennon and Paul McCartney struck the chord that banished Maestro. In “Boom”, the AI version of dead Vater infected the ambulance system and saved Ruby’s life.

Everyone's fears about AI and other advanced tech scream to be addressed by sci-fi, and Doctor Who rose to the challenge.
Doctor Who Season 1 Episode 5 revolved around a futuristic world where spoiled rich kids all had their personal AI assistants and were constantly plugged into video chat. No one could see the monsters right in front of them.
The message was obvious, yet the story needed to be told.
Lindy's Unlikability Was a Huge Problem
Although the Doctor and Ruby tried to guide the protagonist, Lindy, at times, the story focused on Lindy.
It was reminiscent of "Blink," which told Sally Sparrow's story of her battle with the Weeping Angels. David Tennant's Doctor appeared only in a video about the phenomenon, except Sally Sparrow was much easier to root for.

Warning: this Doctor Who review contains spoilers.
When teasing “Dot and Bubble”, Russell T Davies described the episode to Doctor Who Magazine as a “step into Black Mirror territory”. It certainly wears that inspiration on its sleeve, down to the specific instalment of Black Mirror it seems to be aping, “Nosedive”. The arch, vaguely Stepfordian tone, the broad swipe at social media, and the pastel tones of the production design are all very evocative of that episode of Charlie Brooker’s dark anthology show.
But this story of a far-future gated community where vapid rich kids are being systematically eaten alive by horrifying giant slugs also owes a tonal debt to Black Mirror. While for the most part a pitch-dark comedy, and generally pretty effective on that front, “Dot and Bubble” also shares Black Mirror’s self-consciously bleak world view, which – like the aforementioned vapid rich kids – takes some digesting.

Spoilers below for both "Doctor Who" and "Black Mirror."
In a recent interview about the latest "Doctor Who" episode, showrunner Russell T. Davies teased that the show would "step into 'Black Mirror' territory." It turns out that Davies is a big fan of the dystopian anthology series and its creator, Charlie Brooker. But even as his latest episode took inspiration from the show, he promised it'd still have that "Doctor Who" spin:
"[Brooker's] immensely brilliant. But there's a little bit more freedom and 'Doctor Who' madness in 'Dot and Bubble'. There's a sense of fun. And monsters in the middle of it... So although it's 'Black Mirror'-like, it's more 'Doctor Who.' ['Dot and Bubble']'s got the bones and the blood of our favourite show."
Sure enough, the latest episode of season 14 is clearly based off of "Nosedive." That's a famous season 3 "Black Mirror" episode, centered...

There’s quite the mystery surrounding the Doctor’s (Ncuti Gatwa) latest companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson). And so far, over the course of Doctor Who Season 1 (the sci-fi series’ third), rather than answers, we’re just adding to the questions we have about her. The Doctor met Ruby in the Christmas special, both foundlings. The Doctor’s history has been covered in seasons’ past, while Ruby’s, that we know so far, is that she was left as a baby at a church. She’s trying to find her parents when she and the Doctor cross paths, but even he’s left puzzled about that night—and he’s traveled back to it! Below, we’re taking a look at the major questions we need answered about Ruby Sunday as the season continues. (Showrunner Russell T Davies told us that the mystery of Ruby runs throughout the season.) Who Is Ruby?...

Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who episode “73 Yards”.
Doctor-Lite stories have so far been very good, which raises the possibility that the thing that′s really holding back Doctor Who is Doctor Who.
As you may know, Ncuti Gatwa was finishing filming his last series of Sex Education for Netflix while “73 Yards” was being filmed, and so the episode was pushed onto the array of ′Doctor-Lite′ stories (put simply: ones in which the Doctor doesn′t appear very much). The idea of doubling up the filming of episodes and balancing the cast accordingly has been in place since the show returned in 2005, with it formally being named as a budget-saving strategy in 2007 with “Blink”. They may also be referred to as “double-banking” episodes where two episodes are filmed simultaneously and so the regular cast can’t substantially appear in both.

Millie Gibson this weekend offered her heartfelt thoughts on the Doctor Who episode that stirred opinions in fans of the long-running sci-fi franchise.
The “fifth” episode (including “The Church on Ruby Road”) of “Season 1” (or Season 14) opened with the Doctor (played by Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Gibson) setting foot in Wales, immediately after which the former accidentally stepped his foot on a fairy circle comprised of string, charms and notes. Witchcraft ensued, abruptly disappearing the Doctor and leaving Ruby tethered to a mysterious and spooky af old woman who always stood exactly 73 yards away.

“It’s the first comedic thriller I’ve ever done.

For our recent webchat she adds, “This was a story where we don’t know if should we be rooting for this guy, is this guy as bad as he said, as bad as we think he is, is he as good as we think he is? The challenge musically was that you don’t want to give it away. You don’t want to telegraph what the audience doesn’t know yet. You don’t want to ruin the fun of them trying to...

The chic balconies of Marseille certainly offer an image that is photogenic enough to open Noémie Merlant’s sophomore feature, The Balconettes, especially as seen from the meandering perspective of a crane shot. As the camera traces facades and their baby-blue window blinds, we’re perhaps reminded of Rear Window. Yet small figures of women and men try to cope with the heat and we, as spectators, have the privileged viewpoint into their flats. On one of those balconies, a woman is being beaten for what seems to be the thousandth time. But now she fights back. This is only the beginning of a film that will blend comedy and supernatural horror tropes to show the many ways women can look after one another in the face of violence.
The Balconettes is Merlant’s second feature as a director, following several shorts and the 2021 Cannes entry Mi Iubita Mon Amour.

“We waited for the technology to catch up. And the technology has broken us.” So Russell T Davies told the latest edition of Doctor Who Magazine about series 14, episode five “Dot and Bubble”. Tech breaking people sounds fitting for an episode Davies describes as Doctor Who’s “clearest step into Black Mirror territory.”
Set in a colony on an alien planet, “Dot and Bubble” is the story of Lindy Pepper Bean (Callie Cooke), a citizen of the happy, harmonious and social-media-absorbed world of Finetime. When Lindy’s friends start disappearing and mysterious monsters appear to be in operation, will Ruby and the Doctor be able to convince Finetime’s residents of the truth before it’s too late?
The idea for the episode first came to Davies 15 years ago, he told Dwm’s Benjamin Cook. During an LA lunch ahead of the series 11 launch, he pitched it to Steven Moffat,...

"73 Yards" is the strongest episode of the new "Doctor Who" season so far, which is surprising considering it's the first one that barely features the Doctor at all. Showrunner and episode-writer Russell T Davies has taken a cue from season 4's Doctor-lite episode "Turn Left," taking us through years of the companion's life without the Doctor around to help her out. The results are terrifying: as soon as the Doctor's gone, Ruby finds herself followed by a mysterious old woman. The woman magically stays exactly 73 yards away from Ruby at all times, and whenever Ruby sends someone else to talk with her, they freak out and suddenly want nothing to do with her.
It's a mysterious premise that puts Ruby through the wringer like we've never seen before. First, she has to spend a few nights alone at an inn filled with the world's rudest patrons. Then she goes...

Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who episode “73 Yards”.
When Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies delivers an episode like “73 Yards”, the temptation to pin it down is tough to resist. It’s hard not to want diagrams, flow-charts and footnoted explanations of every slippery element. It’s worth resisting that urge though, because this episode was designed to evade simple answers. No amount of close-reading will reveal its definitive truth.
That’s a deliberate choice, let’s be clear. If Davies had wanted to pin a single interpretation on this strange, melancholic tale, then he’d have done it. That big brain would easily have invented a sci-fi or folkloric precedent for the phenomenon Ruby experiences, in which she’s followed at a precise distance by an always-out-of-reach figure who makes anybody who approaches her run screaming away from Ruby forever. Davies would have conjured up a fictional fix for...

That’s a deliberate choice, let’s be clear. If Davies had wanted to pin a single interpretation on this strange, melancholic tale, then he’d have done it. That big brain would easily have invented a sci-fi or folkloric precedent for the phenomenon Ruby experiences, in which she’s followed at a precise distance by an always-out-of-reach figure who makes anybody who approaches her run screaming away from Ruby forever. Davies would have conjured up a fictional fix for...

[This story contains spoilers from the Doctor Who season up to and including “73 Yards.”]
There aren’t many television shows that could, in the matter of only a few episodes, feature a monster made of boogers that terrorizes babies, a killer drag queen defeated by the power of music (with a little help from The Beatles) and a pointless religious war catalyzed by a capitalist algorithm.
But, not all shows are Doctor Who.
And since Disney+ acquired the long-running BBC science-fiction show, the Time Lord — now played by Ncuti Gatwa — in the quintessentially British show remains as quirky as ever.
The latest episode, penned by showrunner Russell T Davies, continues its unpredictable streak by donning the guise of folk-horror in an eerie decade-spanning epic that will have Whovians tapping their keyboards in forums for years to come.
Below, THR breaks down some questions viewers may have about “73 Yards” and the Disney+ season so far.

Warning: contains plot details for Doctor Who episode “73 Yards”.
Just when the new Doctor’s adventures had started to flow (from outer space to 1960s England to war-torn future planets), in new episode “73 Yards”, he vanishes. One minute: the Doctor’s there, enthusing about the Welsh landscape, and the next? Gone, leaving companion Ruby to work out her next moves alone.
In the story, the Doctor’s absence from “73 Yards” is explained by magic. He accidentally steps on and breaks a fairy circle. The circle’s charm is released and, though the Tardis remains as a monument, the Doctor is removed to parts unknown. After a bit of a timeline-averting rewind though, back he comes at the end and it’s business as usual next week.
In the real world, the Doctor had to be absent from “73 Yards” because Ncuti Gatwa had a schedule clash. His commitment to film the...

There are few hard and fast rules of time travel in the Doctor Who universe, but one seems to be that you can't cross your own timeline.
Is that what happened to Ruby on Doctor Who Season 1 Episode 4?
A story that began as a gothic horror tale turned into a journey through Ruby's timeline, and the ending led to more questions than answers. How did this story fit into the bigger mystery surrounding Ruby's birth?
Ruby Carried the Episode Alone
When the Doctor and a companion get separated, they usually work to find one another. This story, however, broke tradition by having Ruby travel alone for 65 years before things were restored to rights.
It's hard to know how to feel about that. Ruby's travels through her life and attempts to discover who the mysterious woman was were interesting, but it felt more like a spinoff short story than an episode of Doctor Who.

Warning: this Doctor Who review contains spoilers.
Halfway through the frustrating, fascinating “73 Yards”, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart says: “It’s what we do, all of us. We see something inexplicable and invent the rules to make it work.”
Ever since the Doctor inadvertently allowed superstition to seep through at the end of the universe in “Wild Blue Yonder”, the series has been engaging explicitly with the supernatural. From goblins that feast on coincidence and bad luck, to chaos gods weaponising the music within our souls, this focus on the fantastical has opened up many exciting narrative and visual possibilities for Doctor Who. And as Kate points out, in a neat bit of world-building, it hasn’t gone unnoticed – as well as the usual psychic training and telepathic dampeners, Unit personnel also wear necklaces of silver and salt.
It’s compelling stuff. But as chilling, tense and unpredictable as this episode is – and...

In episode four of Doctor Who series 14, the 15th Doctor and Ruby land on the coastal cliffs of modern-day Wales. The views are amazing and they can’t see another person for miles. However, a fluke results in the Doctor disappearing and Ruby must figure out on her own how to get him back.
Episodes like “73 Yards” where the Doctor’s screen time is considerably shortened, are referred to as Doctor-lite episodes. They’re either made because of a scheduling conflict (Ncuti Gatwa was finishing his final season of Sex Education while “73 Yards” was being filmed) or due to a budgetary need to film two episodes simultaneously, as happened with series three’s Blink.
Den of Geek interviewed Millie Gibson and Ncuti Gatwa on why “73 Yards” is Ruby’s most memorable episode this series.
