That’s sweet! A nice little heart gem. With Steven Universe season 5 just wrapping up and the future of the series unclear, Steven Universe: The Movie has the chance to be a super-sized series finale, though no one on the panel mentioned that possibility. EW first reported the news, as series creator Rebecca Sugar and stars Zach Callison, Estelle, Michaela Dietz, Shelby Rabara, and Deedee Magno Hall were all on hand at Comic-Con to discuss the series and debut the trailer.
