Why did Elizabeth Liz Keen [a.k.a. Megan Boone] leave The Blacklist?
As some observant fans noted, Lizs departure wasnt spontaneous. In fact, Megan began discussing her exit with writers of the hit NBC criminal drama long before The Blacklist was renewed for season 9. According to Deadline, the decision was mutual and writers were given ample time to thoughtfully craft Lizs final arc on the show.
On June 5, Megan posted nearly two dozen photos on Instagram with her fellow cast members to commemorate the end of filming for season 8.
