Meghan Markle reportedly worries Maya Jama’s Netflix acting breakthrough could eclipse her own comeback
Meghan Markle has reportedly been concerned about Maya Jama overshadowing her comeback. Since the news of the Sussexes’ return to the UK, several reports claimed that the Duchess has bagged an acting offer. It was said that she might star in a popular Netflix series, “The Gentleman.” Meanwhile, RadarOnline reported that the “Love Island UK” host has been cast for Season 2.
A source told the outlet that Jama’s appearance could allegedly eclipse Markle’s acting comeback. While the “Suits” alum would return to a TV series, it is Jama’s breakthrough opportunity. On top of that, she is said to be a famous name in the UK, which will also gain her more attention.
Hence, the insider claimed that “the timing isn’t ideal for Meghan.” She has reportedly been “cautious” about her comeback in the acting world. “The Gentlemen” would seemingly be a major opportunity to rebuild her status in the entertainment market.
“Maya arriving in the show and generating excitement around her own transition into acting inevitably risks taking attention that might otherwise have surrounded Meghan’s comeback, and the Duchess now inevitably fears Maya’s role could overshadow hers,” they added.
Furthermore, another source noted that Jama already has a huge fanbase in the British television world. But Markle has reportedly been “away from conventional acting for years.” Additionally, she rose to fame in the USA with the 2019 American drama series, “Suits.” They insider shared, “So any return was always going to attract scrutiny about whether she can re-establish herself as an actress rather than simply appearing as the Duchess of Sussex.”
