‘Steven Universe’ Season 5 Might Be The Last Installment Of Rebecca Sugar Series

"Steven Universe" Season 5 might not see a renewal, according to multiple reports. Cartoon Network and show creator Rebecca Sugar have remained mum about a possible Season 6.

Fans are getting worried about the future of their beloved animated series amid reports that it faces cancellation. The ongoing speculation is that "Steven Universe" Season 5 could be the last installment of the Rebecca Sugar series.

Adding fuel to this speculation is the continued secrecy surrounding a potential renewal. Sugar did not confirm if "Steven Universe" Season 5 is the last installment in her interview with Newsrama. "Endgame or not I'm shooting for the moon, I'm going to write us into a serious corner!" she said when asked if she sees a possible endgame for the series. Sugar may have hinted at a cancellation or a renewal with her vague answer.

Likewise, Cartoon Network has so far remained hush-hush on the show's future. The network has not commented on reports about the cancellation of the series. It has also been a year since the network last announced a renewal for the show. It was back in March 2016 when "Steven Universe" Season 5 was confirmed.

Regardless, this is not the first time that Cartoon Network delayed any news about the show. According to Blasting News, fans were initially led to believe that the show was canceled, when no updates were released after Season 4 ended. The network did not right away give any details on the release of "Steven Universe" Season 5.

Perhaps Sugar and her animators are taking their time to create a new storyline after "Steven Universe" Season 5. Cartoon Network may announce a renewal once they have completed all episodes of the new season. After all, a lot of work (including animation, voice recording and story writing) is needed to complete a series that airs weekly.
