The end is nigh for Steven Universe. Cartoon Network has announced the finale of the beloved LGBTQ+ animated series with the final ten episodes, beginning Friday, March 6th, and we were NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED.
With the announcement comes a new trailer came a description of the last few episodes and the reveal that the series will wrap up with a four-part finale on March 27th.
"Steven Universe: Future concludes as Steven is beginning to question his purpose as he runs out of Gems to help," reads the official description. "Who is he if he’s not saving the world? And what is this strange new power that’s making him glow pink? Without other peoples' problems to solve, he’ll have to finally face his own."
Creator Rebecca Sugar issued a sentimental send-off for the series:
"I'm so excited for the final episodes of Steven Universe Future to be out in the world, and so grateful to our audience for supporting our show for all these years. It has been an eye-opening experience to meet the community that has come together around the show: I have been so moved, and I have felt so seen. I have always been a firm believer in the power of cartoons, and these days it's undeniable: the friendships forged over this show, the artists inspired to draw, the families that watched together and saw each other in these characters, fill me with awe and renew my love of animation every day. Though our epilogue series is coming to a close, please trust that like us, these characters will always be growing, changing, and supporting each other. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for watching our show."
Steven Universe: Future returns March 6th at 7pm ET, which will wrap up with the four-part series finale on March 27th at 7pm ET, all on Cartoon Network. Watch the trailer below:
