Although he has risen to worldwide fame with “Maxton Hall,” Damian Hardung already had a solid career, with 25 different films and shows under his belt. Since he started his acting journey with the German short “Der magische Umhang,” he hasn’t looked back.
Before the Prime Video romantic drama aired, he also made a name for himself on the small screen with the “Red Bracelets” series. This is the German version of the Spanish megahit about a couple of teenagers with complex diseases who form bonds in the hospital where they stay.
At this moment, he has three upcoming projects on his agenda, mostly aligned with the fantasy genre. Here, check out all the details about them.
What are Damian Hardung’s next projects?
Softies – 2025
While Damian Hardung could easily stick to playing enemies-to-lovers roles as the bad boy throughout his career, he’s choosing to broaden his horizons with the dramedy “Softies”.
In this series, Hardung teams up with Oskar Redfern and Samir Salim to portray three men in their mid-twenties, navigating the challenges and complexities of modern masculinity. Their stories are set to be told with a humorous tone, offering reflections on what it means to be a man at this age.
According to the production company RTL, the title is set to premiere in 2025. Unfortunately, as of now, it’s unlikely that “Softies” will be available on major streaming platforms for a global release.
Maxton Hall Season 2 – TBA
The most exciting news were finally confirmed! Prime Video is officialy working on the second season of “Maxton Hall,” and, of course, Damian Hardung will return to portray the enigmatic James Beaufort once again.
This second part of Ruby and James’ story will be based on the second book from the “Save Me” trilogy, created by Mona Kasten. If you thought that their relationship was complicated enough in the first season, prepare your tissues.
Although there is no release date confirmed so far, many members of the cast and crew celebrated the announcement with photos on their Instagram accounts. Therefore, we already know who will return for the second season.
Fifth season of How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) – 2025
Damian Hardung is set to reprise his role as Daniel Riffert in the upcoming fifth season of Netflix’s “How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)”. It’s slated to have six episodes, all of which will be released on the same day, as was the case with the previous seasons.
In the series, a high school student starts selling ecstasy online from his bedroom in an attempt to win back the love of his girlfriend, who broke up with him. His venture quickly catapults him into becoming one of the biggest dealers in Europe, and the situation spirals out of control.
Hardung portrays the new boyfriend of Lisa, the girl whom the protagonist is trying to win back. He appears in all eighteen episodes that the series consists of.
Into the Deep Blue – TBA
Damian Hardung continues to add projects to his schedule, and this time it’s a romantic drama that promises to make us cry nonstop: Into the Deep Blue. The actor will play Nick, while India Amarteifio will be Fiona.
So far, they are the only two actors confirmed for the cast of this coming-of-age film, which will be directed by Jonathan Wright (Awakening the Zodiac) and written by the renowned author Jennifer Archer (The Skulls).
The story follows two best friends who met in group therapy. Fiona’s mother’s death brings them closer, but the last thing they need is to fall in love. A weekend trip brings their deepest feelings to the surface.
