A sequel of Cartoon Network hit Steven Universe is being developed for Prime Video.
Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars explores the past, present and future of the universe. The sequel follows Lars Barriga, eternal teenager and space outlaw, as he and his pirate crew smuggle contraband, evade the authorities and uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire.
The news was unveiled at Annecy by creator and EP Rebecca Sugar at a Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe session.
Telling the coming-of-age story of a young boy with friends and aliens in the fictional town of Beach City, Steven Universe has been hugely popular for Cartoon Network, running for five seasons and 160 episodes. The new version will, however, not air on the network but on the Amazon streamer if it makes it to greenlight.
Sugar will EP the sequel with producing partner Ian Jones-Quartey.
At Annecy, she revealed the news after playing a song she wrote for the first season of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.
“I miss my world and my characters,” she said. “I can’t wait to share [the sequel] with you and can’t thank you enough for all your support.”
Meanwhile, Cartoon Network has given a 10th season to the longest-running animated series in DC history, Teen Titans Go!.
The Annecy crowd of fans were also treated to clips from upcoming shows including SuperMutant Magic Academy, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball and Regular Show.
