'Steven Universe' spin-off 'Lars of the Stars' is on its way — here's everything we know
The world of Steven Universe is making another triumphant return with a new series! Steven Universe was a game-changer for LGBTQ+ representation in animation during its 2013-2019 run. It gave us queer-coded aliens, gender-nonconforming characters, and canon sapphic relationships on Cartoon Network. Even after the show ended, it lived on through a 2019 TV movie and a follow-up epilogue series, Steven Universe Future. And now, we're making way for Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars. This latest follow-up series was announced as being in development during the Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network showcase at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival this week. Here's what we know so far. — (@) The new series will follow Lars Barriga, the once-sullen donut shop teen turned pink-hued space outlaw. After being resurrected by Steven's healing powers in the original series, Lars took to the stars with a crew of misfit Gems known as the Off Colors. In the new series, the eternal teenager and his crew 'smuggle contraband, evade the authorities, and uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire.' — (@) Lars and his Off Color Gems are the only confirmed characters in the upcoming series, which is still in development. Any fans itching to know whether Steven, the Gems from the original series, or any other fan favorite characters will make an appearance will just have to keep their fingers crossed for the time being. — (@) Rebecca Sugar, who created Steven Universe, is back on board for Lars of the Stars. She and husband/long-time collaborator Ian Jones-Quartey have taken the helm for this new series — something Jones-Quartey was thrilled to confirm via social media following the announcement. — (@) As Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars is still in the early stages of development, we don't have a release date as of yet. But if and when it does make its way to audiences, it's expected to premiere on Prime Video.

STEVEN UNIVERSE Gets Prime Video Sequel LARS OF THE STARS
Cartoon Network animated hit Steven Universe is getting a sequel series. Steven Universe Titled Lars of the Stars , said sequel series will premiere on Prime Video. Lars of the Stars Expect the show to follow the adventures of the titular space pirate and his crew as they traverse the galaxy. The beloved Cartoon Network series Steven Universe is getting a sequel at Prime Video. Lars of the Stars will follow Lars Barriga (Matthew Moy) in his adventures through space. Lars of the Stars The original Steven Universe ran for five seasons, from 2013 through 2019. And the show has already had two sequels. The first was a feature-length musical, 2019's Steven Universe: The Movie . And the second sequel was the series Steven Universe Future , which ran for one season from 2019 through 2020. RELATED: The Top 10 Best Steven Universe Songs According to Deadline , Lars of the Stars will follow the titular space pirate and his crew on their adventures across the galaxy. It also states the show will explore 'the past, present and future of the universe.' This raises questions about when in the chronology Lars of the Stars will be set. Both The Movie and Future were set two years after the final episode of the original series . On the original series, Lars was initially a moody young man who worked at the Beach City donut shop, The Big Donut. There, he had a somewhat complicated (and arguably toxic) relationship with his coworker, Sadie Miller (Kate Micucci). However, as the series went on, Lars became increasingly involved with the galactic-scale adventures of the Crystal Gems. By the conclusion of the series, he had begun a new life as a space pirate. RELATED: Easter Eggs You May Have Missed in Steven Universe: The Movie In Future , Lars had returned to Earth, where he opened a bakery called Spacetries (say it out loud). But later in the season, he once again headed to the stars with his crew, the Off Colors. What further adventures await as Lars and the Off Colors explore the universe together?

Prime Video Developing STEVEN UNIVERSE Spinoff LARS OF THE STARS
Steven Universe, one of the most beloved, highest rated animated series of all-time, said goodbye in early 2019. Later that year Steven Universe: The Movie arrived. But after the limited-run Steven Universe Future ended in 2020, it seemed like that might truly be the franchise's onscreen end. Turns out, thankfully for fans, it wasn't. It's officially getting ready to return to airwaves once again. Cartoon Network Studios has announced its developing a spinoff series, Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars, for Prime Video. Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe made a huge announcement during its Studio Showcase presentation at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Cartoon Network Studios revealed it is currently developing what it calls a 'follow-up' to the beloved series. Only, this new show will instead follow a different character from the original show, Lars Barriga. A different main character isn't the only major change. Unlike the original series, which aired on Cartoon Network for five seasons and 160 episodes, Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars is heading to Prime Video. It will also give viewers a chance to go both backwards and forwards through its own universe. Here's the show's official synopsis: From executive producers Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey, Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars explores the past, present and future of the Steven Universe universe. The sequel series follows Lars Barriga, eternal teenager and space outlaw, as he and his pirate crew smuggle contraband, evade the authorities, and uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire. This sequel/spinoff wasn't the only big news announced during the presentation. Cartoon Network also revealed Teen Titans Go! is a go for season 10. That's a really good day for animation fans for very different reasons. One of those show's we expected to return. The other we weren't sure we'd ever see again. But it's just hard to keep a good (Steven) universe down.
