‘Steven Universe’ Season 5 Episode 26 Air Date, Spoilers: Reason for Delay, Premiere Predictions and Other Details

“Steven Universe” season 5 episode 26 has yet to be released and fans just can’t wait for their favorite animated series to return. The viewers should not worry because the producers already planned the next episode and everyone just has to wait a bit more until it is ready for broadcast.

“Steven Universe” season 5 was recorded as the installment with the longest time gaps in episode release. Likewise, in the series’s entire history, this is the first time that it took weeks or even months for follow-up episodes to air.

Reason for Delay

So, in the case of “Steven Universe” season 5 episode 26, what is causing its delay? On Reddit, fans wrote last month that they are expecting it to be shown on Cartoon Network within two weeks up to one month. However, since their prediction is incorrect, they assumed that the reason for the long delay is the production of “Steven Universe: The Movie.”

Back in July, show creator Rebecca Sugar announced at the SDCC 2018 that the movie version of the series is in the works. As Polygon reported, the voice cast members of “Steven Universe” season 5 episode 26 that include Zach Callison, Estelle, Michaela Dietz, Shelby Rabara and Deedee Magno Hall were with Sugar when the film was revealed. The release date of the movie was not mentioned.

What’s Next?

“Steven Universe” season 5 episode 26 will pick up where the 25th episode, titled “Legs from Here to Homeworld,” left off. This means viewers will get to see what happens next after Pink Diamond’s revelation and Steven showed the consequences of the Gem War to Blue and Yellow Diamonds, who were horrified at what they saw.

Together with the Crystal Gems and Connie, Steven went to Homeworld to ask White Diamond’s help. She rules over the Gem race so they want her to heal the corrupted Gems and eventually save the world. Will Steven and the Gems succeed?

Air Date

“Steven Universe” season 5 episode 26 will be this installment’s finale but its release date is not available yet. The previous episode aired on July 21 and the announcement for the next should come soon.
