TV Line is reporting that Katherine McNamara has joined the cast of Arrow season seven in a recurring role as Maya, a scrappy street fighter and thief from Star City. Further details are unavailable at this time, but her part is being described as pivotal and the report says she's currently only contracted to appear in the first half of the season, although that's subject to change.

The 22-year-old McNamara is best known for her leading role on the now-cancelled Freeform fantasy drama Shadowhunters. Her past credits also include playing Sonya in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and Maze Runner: The Death Cure.

She's the latest fresh face to join the cast following Holly Elissa (Supernatural), Miranda Edwards (The Magicians), and Michael Jonsson (Van Helsing), who will each play one of the deadly Longbow Hunters. Colton Haynes, who plays Roy Harper, will also return as a series regular while Michael Jai White, Cody Runnels, and Vinnie Jones are slated to appear in at least the season premiere.

 
"Inmate #4587" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

Original airdate 10/15/2018.

I wonder if she will cross paths with Diaz and his buddies hunters in some way that affects the plot. Or if she going to end up being linked in a surprisingly way to someone else.

Some say she will be the new Speedy. Others that she will be the new Artemis. Personally I think it could the show's own version of Arrowette.

But she sure definitely won’t be Emiko Queen. (Wished they could think of someway to introduce her and also bring back Connor Hawke's actor)

Mia Dearden is that you? Before people say Thea is Mia and shares the same name of Dearden remember there has been a few women with the name of Dinah, so this actress as Mia can work.

@KingNomarch - Only in the Arrow comic, just like King Shark was killed in the comic too, but thankfully the producers of the Arrowverse decided they weren't cannon, like they said they were originally.

Surely they wouldn't whitewash a Hindu character. There was a Hindu metahuman archer by that name in the JLI.
