The animated adventures “Steven Universe” and the epilogue series, “Steven Universe Future,” has an incredible 7-year run. Unfortunately, Steven’s universe ended with a four-part series finale on March 27, 2020, giving viewers a chance to say goodbye to the boy (now a man) who grew up with three magical guardians known as the Crystal Gems.
Fortunately, the film, all five seasons of Steven Universe, and the 20 episodes from Steven Universe Future are all available and completely “binge-able.”

About Steven Universe
“Steven Universe” has enjoyed an enthusiastic fan base throughout its run, in no small part due to a progressive stance on LGBTQ representation. Many characters are openly gay or non-binary, and Steven is allowed to explore his identity free of gender baggage.
Beyond that, however, it’s also a fantasy romp in a world intricately built by show creator Rebecca Sugar. Although the characters are alien and technicolor, they are imminently relatable, with emotional arcs that progress for years. The show tackles tough issues, especially in the most recent “Steven Universe Future.” Plus, there often are songs featured in the episodes that have a popularity of their own. Check out many of them on YouTube.
