As viewers will recall, Maeve was last seen in Season 3\u2019s finale after she helped neutralize Soldier Boy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/jensen-ackles\/\">Jensen Ackles<\/a>) by pushing him from Vought Tower, absorbing his depowering blast in the process.<\/p>\n<p>This event left her powerless and on the run with her girlfriend as they went off-grid. There were hints at her potential return as she was featured in \u201cpreviously on\u201d clips and her likeness was referred to throughout the season, but that was more of an homage than a hint at a return, according to Kripke.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1261893\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1261893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The showrunner reveals there were a couple of reasons Maeve didn\u2019t reappear before the final curtain call. \u201cDom and I email a couple of times every six to eight months or so, and she checked in on me after the Palisades fires,\u201d Kripke shares. \u201cWe throw each other emails, and I said very early because I wanted to know whether we were building for it, \u2018Would you be open to coming back for a day, and here are the dates.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it was very pleasant and respectful, she just said, \u2018I\u2019ve kind of retired from acting. [I\u2019m not] really acting anymore, and I\u2019m busy those dates anyway,&#8217;\u201d Kripke shares of McElligott\u2019s response to the possibility of her return for Season 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, that was honestly it,\u201d he continues. \u201cIt was a very pleasant, non-controversial moment, you know? But we wanted to pay homage to her; she\u2019s an important character, and so she shows up in the recap and in a way to show that Maeve passed the torch to Annie, and now Annie is passing the torch to Marie, and that there\u2019s this lineage of strong women that started with Maeve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, while McElligott was unable to make a return, Kripke made sure Queen Maeve wasn\u2019t forgotten by fans as they tuned into Season 5. \u201cWe wanted to bring up Maeve\u2019s spirit if we couldn\u2019t actually bring her up in person,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Queen Maeve\u2019s absence in the final season of\u00a0<em>The Boys<\/em>?
