Mary Queen of Scots is a retelling of the turbulent life of Mary Stuart, based on the book Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart by Dr. John Guy. Queen of France at 16, at 18 Mary is widowed, defies pressure to remarry and instead returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, Mary has a rival claim to the throne of Elizabeth I, who rules as England’s Queen. Contrary to earlier accounts, and based on Dr. John Guy’s research, we see Mary as a capable politician and leader who wanted an alliance with her cousin Elizabeth. Mary fights to govern her unruly kingdom at a time when female monarchs are reviled as monstrous. To secure their thrones, the two Queens make very different choices about marriage and children. Mary’s reputation is under continual attack from her enemies, who construct lies about her sexual conduct. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens–driving them apart, as each woman experiences the bitter cost of power.

David returned briefly for an episode in Season 2, following which he suggested that Kilgrave's journey was now over.

However, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg yesterday dropped a hint via a reply to a fan's comment that we may not have seen the last of David Tennant as Kilgrave:

David Tennant is featured in the current issue of The Scots Magazine (March 2019).
The interview is to promote his role as Scottish minister John Knox in the historical blockbuster Mary Queen Of Scots.
In the interview David reflects on his own Presbyterian upbringing
“I’m very grateful for the roles I’ve been able to play, and I’m glad things are going well for me now but I never allow myself to become too pleased with myself! It’s not in my nature. I’m too wracked with guilt in every corner of my life. It’s my Presbyterian background. It’s all connected isn’t it? That sense that you’re not worthy and therefore have to prove your worth, and not get above your station. I’m always worried that my good fortune won’t last!”

He also talks about what he gains personally from the roles he takes on:
