Trivia[]
- This limited-series marks the end of the Steven Universe franchise that begun in 2013 and lasted for 7 years until 2020.
- According to Rebecca Sugar, she was notified in 2016 that the series would be canceled at the end of the fifth season. She prevailed upon Cartoon Network to extend the fifth season to 32 episodes, in order to have room to complete the story, as well as a follow-up television film, Steven Universe: The Movie. Along with the film, Cartoon Network also greenlighted an additional season of 20 episodes, which would become the sequel series Steven Universe Future, taking place after the events of the film. Despite the show's end, Sugar has indicated that more stories could exist, but has stated that she needs a long break before deciding how to approach such a continuation.[3]
Continuity[]
- Steven drives the car his father Greg bought in "Beach City Drift".
- Certain Gems seem to be dissatisfied with, ignorant, and/or resentful of Era 3 while Steven and others are still trying to make amends for everything The Great Diamond Authority has done, as was seen previously in the RPG Unleash the Light.
Behind the Scenes[]
- Ian Jones-Quartey confirmed on Twitter that Steven Universe Future is a new series and not the original show's Season 6 but an epilogue.[4][5]
- The movie's lead character designer Becky Dreistadt revealed on Twitter that she would be the lead character designer of Steven Universe Future. The movie's background designer Alex Myung also revealed on Instagram that he worked as a background designer on the series.[6]
