Maya Jama has signed with Netflix for a number of “exciting” ventures.
The presenter’s next career move was revealed on Monday, just one day after the 32-year-old star announced she was stepping away from ITV's Love Island series.
As reported by Variety, Jama has several new projects in development with the streaming platform, though further details are currently being kept under wraps.
In a statement, she said: "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.
"I can’t give too much away just yet, but I’m so excited for this next chapter. Watch this space!”
Sharing Variety's announcement on X, she teased: "won’t be off your screens for too long.. @netflix (sic)"

Maya is no stranger to Netflix, having played Aisha in season two of The Gentlemen.
Anne Mensah, Netflix’s vice president of UK content, heaped praise on the star, labelling her as “fabulous”.
Ms Mensah added: "She has an infectious energy and an ability to captivate audiences.
"We adored working with her on The Gentlemen, and we’re absolutely delighted for her to be an even bigger part of the Netflix family.”
She rose to further prominence on BBC's Celebrity Traitors, where she made it all the way to the final.
Maya first started a presenter on MTV and BBC Radio 1, before landing a job as the host of the UK's Love Island in 2023.

The Netflix announcement comes after Maya insisted "all good things must come to an end", as she confirmed her Love Island UK exit.
She wrote on Instagram: "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.
"While my own Love Island journey has come to an end, I wish the show and the team all the success in the world, I’ll be cheering you lot on from the sidelines forever."
Maya thanked the Love Island UK viewers, and insisted she remains "grateful" for the opportunity.
She added: "I started hosting the show aged 28 and during the 9 incredible series met the most wonderful humans along the way.
"I’ve loved every slow-mo walk, fire pit and live show. I’ll forever be grateful for the experience."
