They have no control. When you work on a television show you are approved to produce a certain hours worth of episodes. Since episodes of Steven universe are 15 minutes, that's 4 episodes an hour. It takes 9 months to make an episode and 6 to animate so they do multiple at a time. The crewniverse just makes the episodes and the storylines. They have no control over how many to make with the exception of the amount of hours. (Like spongebob episodes are 15 minutes and there's 26 episodes roughly a season so that's like 7 hours they can make, not counting specials). They have no control over airdates because there's a board at CN that decides on when stuff airs. All the crewniverse does with airdates are suggest when they air, suggest what order they might air in, and provide footage and clips for them to preview.
