Hardung, 26, who plays James Beaufort on the hit Prime Video series, confirmed in an Instagramposton Sept. 17 that he had “wrapped the second season” as he reflected on the whirlwind few months he’s had since the show’s premiere in May.

“Since the first season came out, it all feels a bit surreal at times,” he wrote in the caption, referring to the series' incredible debut, as it made history as the most successful international original series on Prime Video.

“Portraying James this summer has been the biggest privilege, but also the biggest challenge I’ve ever had in this often weird job. Thanks to everyone for their support, thanks to you for your kind messages,” Hardung continued.

The actor noted that he “can’t believe I am not returning to set this week as James,” but teased that he’s “starting another journey tomorrow,” which could be referencing his newly-announced role in a coming-of-age romance film,Into the Deep Blue, alongsideQueen Charlotte’sIndia Amarteifio.
