She is seen on an Arabian royal’s arm and wearing a flat cap and tweed at a posh shooting party.
Maya, 32, told pals at last week’s series two premiere that she will be returning to the Netflix hit.
She added of her role: “I didn’t even have to change my accent so it was great.”
A source said: “Maya was great in season two and bosses will be glad to see her back for the third series. She’s pulled in even more viewers and was a natural on set.”

Maya recruited Kim Kardashian’s stylist Soki Mak to dress her in a sexy leather dress at the premiere at London’s Guildhall on Wednesday.
Maya said of director Ritchie: “He doesn’t feel as intimidating as you’d think, being who he is.
“He’s very personable and he would be like, ‘Yeah, you’re doing well’, and reassure me, which was really nice.
“He’s just really involved and kind of a genius to watch, because everyone’s practising their lines and then he says something that’s way better than the original.”

The Sun revealed last month that former Suits actress Meghan was in talks to get a future role as a temptress.
It is understood the discussions are one of the factors that helped her and husband Prince Harry decide to move back to Britain with kids Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five.
But Theo James, 41, who plays drug-dealing aristocrat Eddie Horniman in the show, believes getting the Duchess on board is “impossible”.
He said: “I think she’d fit in well because she’s actually from part of the Royal Family. But no, I think the practicalities of that are impossible.”
Netflix were approached for comment.
