“Steven Universe” season 6 has been confirmed to return, but it will be back under the new title called “Steven Universe Future.” Apparently, the title already suggested that it will offer a new storyline as the teenage protagonist faces his future that will surely be filled with new adventures and problems to solve.
“Future is extremely meaningful to me because it’s a story we can only tell now, after the events of the original show, and the events of the movie,” Entertainment Weekly quoted Rebecca Sugar, the series creator, as saying in a statement. “This limited series is, for many of us who have been with the crew since the very beginning, our chance to reflect and to give the last few pieces of the puzzle we’ve been designing since 2012.”
What to expect in the new installment
