Each episode comes with its own conclusion and you think that the plot is finally complete. But guess what? Then arrives another equally compelling episode. The show does a fantastic job of following a boy who is discovering himself while painting a portrait of a character who is going through some crucial changes in his life.
‘Steven Universe Future’ might have been created as an epilogue, but considering the hype that the whole show has managed to sustain over the years, there are many fans who want to know about the future of the show. There are some even wondering about ‘Steven Universe Future’ episode 11 release date. Here’s everything we know.
Steven Universe Future Season 2 Release Date: Renewed or Cancelled?

The good news for the fans is that ‘Steven Universe Future’ episode 11 will release on March 6, 2020. Part 2 of season 1 will continue till March 27, 2020.
Before proceeding to the developments regarding a potential second season, let’s clarify a few things first. ‘Steven Universe Future’ had arrived as an epilogue to the actual series, whose season 5 concluded on January 21, 2019. This finale tied up all the loose ends with Diamond realizing her mistake, Steven understanding that he should define himself rather than following the footsteps of his mom, and Homeworld being finally free from its rigid class system. The gems return to earth and decide to bring all the corrupted gems back to their right paths.

Source: de.ru.net Season 1 Episode 2: Laser Light Cannon “If every porkchop were perfect, we would not have hot dogs. Steven Universe is about the misadventures of a boy named Steven, the ultimate 'little brother' to a team of magical guardians of humanity—the Crystal Gems. Steven may not be as powerful as the Crystal Gems. But that doesn't stop him from joining Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl on their magical adventures and somehow finding a way to save.
This was then followed by a movie musical, ‘Steven Universe: The Movie’, which was released on Cartoon Network on September 2, 2019. The events in the movie take place two years after those depicted in the season 5 finale, ‘Change Your Mind’. The film addresses a couple of the last-remaining loose threads such as the story of the ruthless Aquamarine.
So when the movie also wrapped up almost all major plot points, fans speculated that this was the end of ‘Steven Universe’. But again, putting an end to all doubts, Cartoon Network stated: “The television movie is not the end of Steven Universe. There is more Steven to come!”
This is when we received ‘Steven Universe Future’, a limited series, created to serve as the ultimate epilogue to the franchise. But here’s the thing. The finale of these miniseries again addresses many questions but does leave a few more. After Steven’s friends all go away, he tends to his plants, names them after his buddies, and realizes that these are the only things that will never desert him.
Steven gives life to a cactus, which transforms into a monster that becomes a living embodiment of the main character’s grievances and fears. The monster even starts fighting the Crystal Gems while repeating Steven’s critiques of them. It is clear that Steven has become a controlling young adult who has left his little, sweet self way behind. While concentrating on being only a hero, Steven never learned to save himself. It will be interesting to see what form the story takes from here on in the remaining episodes.
Since the epilogue was originally created as a limited series, we have to assume that there will not be a ‘Steven Universe Future’ season 2. However, this cannot be the end of the franchise and should not be. We are almost sure that Cartoon Network will find a way to continue telling us the fascinating story of of Steven Universe.

As an ultimate epilogue to the ‘Steven Universe’ saga, Cartoon Network’s most progressive show, ‘Steven Universe Future’ has gained a lot of popularity for its animation, honest depiction of wide-ranging themes and well-written characters. Revolving around the aftermath of saving the Gem empire and showcasing the personal conflicts of the human-gem hybrid Steven, the coming-of-agesci-fi series manages to tie up all the loose ends from the finale of its parent series and the eponymous film.
After the show concluded on March 27, 2020, fans are wondering: when will ‘Steven Universe Future’ season 2 release? Has it been renewed or canceled? Well, here’s everything we know about the future of the animated series.
Steven Universe Future Season 2 Release Date
‘Steven Universe Future’ season 1, also known as ‘Steven Universe’ Season 6 premiered on December 7, 2019, and ended its run with a four-episode finale on March 27, 2020, on Cartoon Network. The series consists of a total of 20 episodes with a runtime of 11 minutes each.
As far as season 2 is concerned, here’s what we know. The first season of the show was lauded for its responsible representation of childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, LGBTQI+ characters, etc. Although season 1 is advanced as a limited series and ends on a conclusive note, there’s a chance that the makers might want to extend the tale of the Gem universe by exploring Steven’s arc, as he transits from a vulnerable teen to a responsible young man.
In a conversation with Variety, the show’s creator, Rebecca Sugar, said, “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. 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.” Is she hinting a possible renewal?
At this point, the chances of the show coming back is 50-50. If and when it is renewed, we expect ‘Steven Universe Future’ season 2 to release sometime in 2021, on Cartoon Network.
Steven Universe Future Season 2 Cast: Who is in it?
Except for a few, almost all the members from the main cast of season 1 might reprise their roles in season 2. Zach Callison will lend his voice to Steven Universe, while Estelle will be the voice behind Garnet. Michaela Dietz and Deedee Magno Hall might return to voice Amethyst and Pearl, respectively.
The talented voice ensemble might also include Tom Scharpling as Greg Universe, Grace Rolek as Connie Maheswaran, Charlyne Yi as Ruby, Erica Luttrell as Sapphire, Kimberly Brooks as Jasper, Michelle Maryk as Larimar, Jennifer Paz as Lapis Lazuli, Shelby Rabara as Peridot, among others.
Steven Universe Future Season 2 Plot: What can it be About?
Season 1 is set after the events of the eponymous movie, which takes place two years after the finale of ‘Steven Universe.’ Throughout the season, Steven struggles to discover his true calling and gets frustrated and anxious when he fails to analyze his ever-changing new powers. Finally, Connie takes him to her mother, who informs Steven, that his mental and physical health is getting progressively worse because of the impact of his traumatic childhood and his constant efforts at evading the need for help. In the finale, we see Steven leaving his people behind to go to Homeworld, seeking help from the Diamonds. When everything fails, Steven is forced to make a difficult choice, which will affect his future.
In season 2, Steven might forego his need for protection and transform into a matured version of himself. We can expect Steven to try and balance his expectations from people and also work towards bettering his mental health. Steven might even learn to tame his powers to prevent them from exerting unnecessary control over his mind and body. The second season might also introduce new threats that will force Steven and his Gem friends to come together to deal with it.
