Though Steven Universe’s time on Cartoon Network has come and gone, Amazon is stepping in to keep the story going.
During a Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe panel at this year’s Annecy Animation Festival, Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar announced that Amazon is moving forward with a new spinoff series focused on side character Lars Barriga. Titled Lars of the Stars, the show will chronicle Lars’ adventures in space as he and his crew of fellow pirates “evade the authorities and uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire,” per Deadline.
Amazon has yet to officially greenlight Lars of the Stars, but Sugar is attached to executive produce alongside Ian Jones-Quartey. Currently, there’s no word on which members of the original show might return, or when the show could premiere. But during her talk at Annecy, Sugar emphasized that she “can’t wait to share [the sequel] with you and can’t thank you enough for all your support.”
