The beloved world of Steven Universe is set to enchant fans once again. After five years since we last journeyed with Steven, Connie, the Crystal Gems, and the vibrant community of Beach City, Rebecca Sugar’s captivating animated saga is making a return in an unexpected format.
During the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network announced the exciting development of a new series titled Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars. This series is described as a follow-up to Steven Universe and its epilogue, Steven Universe Future. While details remain limited, we do know that Rebecca Sugar and longtime collaborator Ian Jones-Quartey will be returning as executive producers.
What Will Lars of the Stars Be About?
Unlike the original focus on Steven and Connie as they navigate adulthood away from Beach City, Lars of the Stars will take a cosmic turn. The story centers around Lars Barriga, our favorite donut shop employee, who after a brush with death and Steven’s healing powers becomes a pink-hued, magical Human-Gem hybrid. With his own spaceship and a crew of off-color Gems, Lars transforms into a revolutionary smuggler, challenging the oppressive Gem homeworld and its rulers.
Where Is Lars Headed Next?
Having last seen Lars embarking on a journey through the stars at the climax of Future, he is set to “smuggle contraband, evade the authorities, and uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire.” With peace finally settling on Earth and among the Diamonds, Lars’ adventures will certainly be thrilling.
Where Can You Watch Lars of the Stars?
One exciting detail is that Lars of the Stars will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, following the recent changes in Cartoon Network and Warner Bros.’ streaming strategies.
