Steven Universe Future is an American animated limited series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. It serves as an epilogue to the 2013 original series Steven Universe and its follow-up 2019 animated film Steven Universe: The Movie. It premiered on December 7, 2019 and concluded on March 27, 2020.
The series focuses on the aftermath of the events of Steven Universe, where humans and Gems coexist in harmony after the end of the war between the Crystal Gems and Homeworld. Without the threats of the Diamonds or corrupted Gems, Steven must deal with the everyday challenges that still come with his now relatively peaceful life, and question his new life objectives.
Like the original series, Steven Universe Future has been critically acclaimed, with the design, music, voice acting, characterization, and prominence of LGBT themes being similarly praised; Future has been singled out for addressing issues some had with the original series, for its unique choice of focusing on the aftermath of the main story's climax, and for promoting mental health awareness through its treatment of Steven's experience of psychological trauma.

Notes[]
- This is the first piece of Steven Universe media to be dubbed into Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene. Neither the original series nor the movie was dubbed into these languages.
- This series marked the return of the Bulgarian and Russian dubs of the franchise, which were in limbo due to Cartoon Network RSEE (which broadcasts in Russia among other countries) not airing any more new episodes of the original series past July 2018, likely because of the Russian anti-LGBT law.
- These two dubs were released on Max (then known as HBO Max) in 2022 following the service's launch in CEE countries, with little to no censorship compared to the CN RSEE broadcast of the main series. However, the Russian dub is a hidden audio track that cannot be accessed via normal means.
