Speaking with Gold Derby, Eric Kripke revealed that Dominique McElligott won’t be returning for season 5 of The Boys. He said she turned down the offer because she’s retired from acting and had other commitments. You can read Kripke’s full statement below.

I really wanted to work with Maeve, and I talked to Dom about it. We still keep in touch occasionally by email. She’s mostly retired from acting now, and her availability just didn’t line up.

That was pretty much the end of it.
