This paper is devoted to obtaining convergent series expansion for the flow of electrically-conducting Maxwell fluid past a wedge-shaped wall proposed in a recent study by Abbasbandy et al. [Ababsbandy, S., Naz, R., Hayat, T., Alsaedi, A.: Numerical and analytical solutions for Falkner-Skan flow of MHD Maxwell fluid. Appl. Math. Comput. 242, 569-575 (2014)]. It is found that the 9th-order homotopy approach converges sufficiently rapidly for the case h= -0.442. Furthermore, the reliability of the present solution through some direct comparisons was verified.
