Dominique McElligott has 'mostly retired' from acting and turned down an invitation to return for the final season of The Boys, showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed this week in Los Angeles, reviving online rumours that the Irish star quit the industry after alleged on‑set bullying.
For two seasons, viewers have been asking why McElligott's character, Queen Maeve, vanished from the Prime Video hit following the explosive end of season three. For those who lost track, Maeve was last seen sacrificing herself to stop the armed supes at Vought Tower, apparently dying in the blast. It was later revealed that she had survived and gone into hiding, a neat narrative exit that left the door open for a comeback that, in the end, never happened.
