Maya Jama has garnered attention for her role in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s action comedy series *The Gentlemen*, with industry sources indicating that the streaming service is interested in casting her in future projects. The season two trailer shows Jama’s character, whose name has not yet been disclosed, arriving by helicopter at the stately home of the 13th Duke of Halstead, played by Theo James, before participating in a hunting scene while dressed in tweeds and a flat cap.

The series, created by Guy Ritchie, centers around the fictional Halstead Manor, which is portrayed by the real-life Badminton House in Gloucestershire. The first season, released in 2024, featured a cast including Vinnie Jones, Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Kaya Scodelario, and Daniel Ings, and was met with considerable success, particularly in the United States where its distinctly British flair combined with action and comedy appealed to viewers.

At 31, Jama is also known for hosting the popular reality dating show *Love Island*, which is currently in its ninth series. The show is set to air its final episode on ITV2 soon, amid speculation over whether Jama will continue in her hosting role. While she has attracted an international audience through the program, some American viewers have expressed a preference for the UK iteration over the US version.

An industry insider indicated that Jama’s performance in *The Gentlemen*, despite her relatively limited screen time, has impressed Netflix executives and could serve as a significant career milestone. The source suggested the platform is considering expanding her involvement in upcoming seasons of the show, pointing to the strong appeal of such content in the US market.

Separately, Jama declined an opportunity to replace Emma Willis as presenter of *The Voice UK*. Willis is reported to be stepping down from the ITV1 singing competition as she transitions to hosting *Strictly Come Dancing* on BBC One this autumn.

Netflix has been contacted for comment regarding Jama’s role and future involvement with the streaming service but has not issued a response. The second season of *The Gentlemen* is scheduled for release in September.
