Maya Jama inks new deal with Netflix
Maya Jama has signed a deal with Netflix, with several new projects in the works, Variety exclusively reported. The deal follows her recent departure from Love Island UK after hosting nine seasons of the hit reality show.
Jama announced her exit from Love Island UK on Sunday night through an Instagram post. She shared a highlight reel alongside a heartfelt note expressing gratitude for the opportunity. “I’ve always believed that to truly grow, you have to take a leap every now and then, and now is my time to throw myself into something new,” she wrote.

Jama expressed her excitement about the partnership as well. “I’m absolutely buzzing to be working with Netflix! There are some really exciting things coming and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on,” she said.
Jama started hosting Love Island UK in 2023 during Season 9. She got her start as a presenter for MTV and BBC Radio 1. She was quite popular on The Celebrity Traitors, and was the only original Traitor to get to the last episode.
