Steven Universe: The Movie is now out, and fans are now wondering when Steven Universe Season 6 will be released. It has been over half a year since the previous season ended. However, there is no news made yet about the new installment. Will a new season still see the light of the day?
Cartoon Network, previously, said the animated series would return. However, the network didn't clarify if it would be for a new season of the show.
In an interview with the series creator, via ComicBook, Rebecca Sugar addressed the questions about Steven Universe Season 6. However, she didn't give much detail about it. By the looks of it, the previous season finale seemed to wrap up Steven's story. Steven Universe: The Movie, on the other hand, had answered all the fans' lingering questions about it.
But, as Cartoon Network said the film is not the end of Steven's tale, many are clinging to its words, hoping it would return for another season. So, what's next for the Tiger Millionaire? "I can't say much yet, but there will be more. There is one more big thing that I really want to say. That's coming up," Sugar said about the show's future.
She added fans should continue watching everything about the show, from the events to the movie, as everything matters. "There are consequences. Always in Steven, always with the ways that the character's arc, things have an impact. So, please keep watching," Sugar teased. Does it mean the movie has a connection with Steven Universe Season 6?
Sugar also told TVLine the movie is not the end of Steven, and there is more to come. She added everything that is happening until today would continue to matter in true "Steven Universe" fashion. So, what does it mean?
Steven Universe: The Movie started with an animated explainer that reminded viewers what they needed to remember to appreciate the battle they would go through. Sugar explained the film would be a crash course for non-fans, while the avid ones would see it as a celebration of everything about the show, and it would have "a little extra weight."
The movie introduced Steven as a 16-year-old boy, set a few years later after the events of Season 5. Here, he is a grown-up kid bearing a new look and, yes, a neck. Sugar revealed they had set the film to show how Steven would look like as a teenager.
So, is it possible for fans to see a more matured Steven in Steven Universe Season 6? Fans should only take these assumptions with a grain of salt, as Cartoon Network and Sugar have yet to reveal if there will be a new season in the works.
