In comments to TVLine, executive producer Michele Fazekas underlined that Cate will be one of the characters appearing in The Boys season 4. She acknowledged that the season 1 ending weighs heavily on Marie and Cate's relationship moving forward, teasing that Cate's guest turn will be important to her overall arc. Read Fazekas' remarks below:

[It] was another example of Marie’s power evolving, and for sure it impacts their relationship! , we’re going to have a whole season of The Boys between our first and second seasons, so things are going to be different in ways you won’t expect.

From what is known so far, Cate and Sam appear alongside of The Seven in brief footage from the season 4 trailer, but it's unclear why they are at the Vought building.

The college-set spinoff successfully manages a clever trick. It sets up the core Gen V characters — Marie, Jordan (Derek Luh, London Thor), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Andre (Chance Perdomo), Sam (Asa Germann), and Cate — as the show's heroes and takes the time to tease out the individual dynamics between each pairing before taking a turn and making Cate and Sam the antagonists. It's a story that other genre series might want at least a few seasons to explore.

The spinoff establishes a potential lasting friendship between Marie and Cate before the unexpected events of the Gen V season 1 finale. But the latest tease from the spinoff's executive producer previews that Cate's appearance in The Boys season 4 may be significant, potentially setting out the path for the character to find redemption or go even further down the road of becoming a villain. From what is known so far, Cate and Sam appear alongside of The Seven in brief footage from the season 4 trailer, but it's unclear why they are at the Vought building.

Either development is made a bit more complicated by the very powers that cause Cate's hand to explode. Although not explored in depth, the Prime Video spinoff repeatedly hints at Marie's game-changing abilities and reveals that those abilities may become of interest to Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit). With several more episodes to go, The Boys season 4 has the space to offer some clarification on what comes next for two of Gen V's leading characters.

The Boys season 4 streams new episodes on Thursdays on Prime Video, while Gen V season 2 does not currently have a release date.
