British presenter Maya Jama made her acting debut in the second season of the Netflix series ‘The Gentlemen’, which premiered on September 3. In the series directed by Guy Ritchie, Jama portrays Aisha, a character described as a “confident woman connected to Middle Eastern business circles.”

Following the premiere, Jama has emerged as a prominent candidate for the role of the next Bond girl. Betting firm Coral reported a significant shift in interest, reducing the odds of her securing the role from 12-1 to 3-1. Analysts attributed this change to her “style, confidence, and screen presence.”
