Some fans are wondering where Dominique McElligott’s Queen Maeve is during the events ofThe BoysSeason 4.
The latest season has seen the conflict against Homelander get even more dire than ever before.
However, one former ally hasn’t shown their face at all this season: Queen Maeve.
Sadly, shes out of the picture the wider world even believes her to be dead.

What Happened to Queen Maeve in The Boys Season 3?
The third season saw Dominique McElligott’s Queen Maeve aligning herself with The Boys more often.
Much of that was fueled by the increasing danger Homelander presented to Maeve and her girlfriend, Elena.
However, there was one person who could take him: Jensen Ackles Soldier Boy.
Sadly, things don’t go as planned.
This leads the entire team to turn against Soldier Boy, trying to keep him from going off.
After the aforementioned fight with Homelander, Queen Maeve makes a bold choice that changes her life forever.
To save everyone in the tower, she charges Soldier Boy and tackles him through a window.
After the incident, the entire world believes Maeve to have died tragically.
Thankfully, the actual circumstances are much less dire.
Unbeknownst to Homelander (thanks to Ashley Barrett deleting the evidence), The Boys saved Queen Maeves life.
So, while shes alive, her early retirement is the reason the character hasnt been in Season 4.
Will Queen Maeve Ever Return to The Boys?
That said, its unlikely she will crop up in Season 4.
Like Maeve, hes also not dead just on ice.
Though, Maeve still wouldn’t have powers, theoretically.
It’s hard to imagine Homelander not immediately coming after her the moment he realizes she’s still alive.
In the comics, Maeve is actually decapitated by Homelander.
So, maybe it’s best that she continues enjoying life with Elena out of the limelight.
The Boysis now streaming onAmazon Prime Video.
