Showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed that Dominique McElligott, who brought the fierce and conflicted character of Queen Maeve to life, has decided to step away from acting altogether. Speaking to TV Insider, Kripke expressed his gratitude for McElligott's contributions to the show.

"Dominique was a powerhouse on The Boys," he said. "Her performance as Queen Maeve was unforgettable, and we are deeply grateful for her time with us."
