Steven Universe Returns With “Lars of the Stars” Spinoff Series
Hey everyone, if you’re a “Steven Universe” fan like me, then buckle up because we’ve got something amazing to talk about. It’s official— “Lars of the Stars” , a brand-new spinoff from the Steven Universe universe, is on the way, and it’s being developed for Prime Video. The news dropped during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and let me tell you—it sent waves through the animation world.
The reveal came from none other than Rebecca Sugar, the creator of the original “Steven Universe” series. She announced that she’s co-creating this new chapter alongside her partner, Ian Jones-Quartey, the mind behind “OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes.” If that isn’t a dream team, I don’t know what is.

“Lars of the Stars” is set to follow Lars Barriga, the once-baker-turned-space-outlaw who fans grew to love over the years. Remember when he went from being just another background human to resurrected pink-skinned hero and captain of a gem-hybrid space crew? Well, now he’s getting his own full-blown series. According to the details shared, the show will dive deep into Lars’ journey as he and his ragtag pirate crew smuggle contraband, outwit the authorities, and explore the shadowy corners of the fallen Gem Empire. If that doesn’t scream space adventure, I don’t know what does.
And what’s particularly exciting is that this isn’t just a fan-service continuation. Sugar said the series would expand the lore—digging into the past, present, and future of the “Steven Universe” world. That means more gem history, more space politics, and yes, more emotional storytelling that fans have come to expect from the franchise.
One of the most heartfelt moments at Annecy came when Sugar performed a new original song for the second season of “Fionna and Cake,” another beloved Cartoon Network property. But she made it clear that returning to the Steven Universe world wasn’t just a job—it was personal. She said, “I miss my world and my characters too.” That sentiment hit home for so many fans and only made the announcement feel more genuine and exciting.
Even though Amazon hasn’t locked in a release date just yet, the buzz around this project is already massive. The fact that it’s being developed for Prime Video marks a significant shift too. It's moving from its original home on Cartoon Network to a streaming platform that could give it an even broader audience.
This new series joins a wave of upcoming projects also previewed at Annecy, like new series from “Regular Show,” “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends,” “Adventure Time,” and “The Amazing World of Gumball.” But without question, the return of Steven Universe’s universe—especially with Lars taking the spotlight—is the crown jewel of this year’s showcase.
So yeah, whether you’ve been a die-hard Crystal Gems fan since 2013 or you’re just now discovering the magic of this universe, get ready. Lars of the Stars is coming, and it promises to be a wild, heartfelt, and very cosmic ride.
