Everyone working on Steven Universe has been working hard on the Steven Universe: The Movie which is set to come out September 2nd. With their focus on that and the new details that we have about the plot of the film we have more insight into what season 6 could mean for the beloved characters.
While a renewal has not been announced for a season 6 fans are hopeful that after the movie we will get more Steven Universe. The last aired episode was back in January of this year and there has been a void left open for many fans. In a press release from Warner Media regarding the movie we learn more about the movie that is soon to be released.
The Movie
Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe returns this fall with the highly anticipated musical Steven Universe The Movie, featuring collaborations with an all-star lineup of multiple award-winning artists including Chance The Rapper, Estelle, Patti LuPone, Uzo Aduba, Gallant, Aimee Mann, and much more.
The epic music-filled adventure for Steven and his friends will overflow with more new songs and music than ever before. In his first television movie scheduled for this fall, Steven thinks his time defending the Earth is over, but when a new threat comes to Beach City, Steven faces his biggest challenge yet.

They are boasting a soundtrack that will be able to be revisited time and time again. The movie is set two years after what happened in “Change Your Mind” and Steven is now sixteen. According to Screenrant the fifth season was a huge turning point for the character. So in Season 6 we could see a whole new side of Steven.
