The following article contains spoilers forThe Boysseason 3.Fresh from yet another highly successful season,The Boyscontinues one of Amazon Prime Video’s go-to shows. However, showrunner Eric Kripke is not sleeping on his laurels, already planning out what lies ahead for two fan favorites supes, Queen Maeve and Soldier Boy.
The Boysseason 3 finale delivered shock and awe, just like it had promised, and among those surprises was the apparent retirement of one of The Seven’s longest-serving members, Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), as well as former American icon Soldier Boy being put back in ice.

In an interview for Deadline, Kripke detailed some of the real-life events that inspiredThe Boys' season three climax. He also touched on why fans shouldn’t dismiss potential comebacks, especially for Soldier Boy and Maeve, with the latter falling under the “We definitely won’t reach the end of the series without seeing Maeve again” category. The way Kripke sees the story, it was ultimately necessary for Maeve to fade away, as she was constantly finding herself saving Starlight whenever circumstances got too tricky for Annie.
Regardless of that, Kripke still sees room for Queen Maeve to take some time off her farm life to help Annie in case she were to find herself “in real danger if she can’t figure it out for herself.” As forJensen Ackles' beloved character, the showrunner merely said he hopes to “see Soldier Boy again.” Although considering his superweapon status, it seems unlikely his next slumber will last as long.
In its third season,The Boysmanaged to hold its place as one of the most-watched streaming series out there, only losing out toStranger Things 4once that landed on Netflixbut still remaining as strong as Homelander.The Boyshas plenty of questions it needs to answer as it heads into season 4, nevertheless, that in itself might mean seeing more characters fromThe Boyscomic book show up next.
