Fans might see a brand new fusion when "Steven Universe" season 4 returns to the small screen with new episodes next month.

There are rumors going around that a fusion of Lapis and Peridot will be introduced in the new episodes of the series, which is still on hiatus.

This is because of voice actress Ashly Burch, who is known for her work in "Adventure Time" and "The Legend of Heroes." Ever since she was confirmed for "Steven Universe" season 4, the rumor mills went wild as to who she will voice.

Many fans are under the impression that she will be the voice behind a fusion between Peridot and Lapis. It is believed that the two have grown so much closer that it is enough to beckon a fusion.

Although the two started on the wrong foot, they managed to warm up to each other and grow fond of one another as they spend more time at the barn, which they share.

In fact, "Steven Universe" season 4 episode 8 "Gems Harvest," shows the two starting a new hobby — farming — to liven things up and give the barn extra life and color, which they meant literally.

Fans believed that Lapis and Peridot have developed a certain level of friendship that qualifies them to have a fusion and that "Steven Universe" season 4 will show what it will look like.

As for Burch's casting, her voice is how many would imagine what a fusion of Peridot and Lapis would be like. However, there are speculations that she will provide the voice of Mystery Girl instead.

Fans have yet to hear the character's voice, but it looks like "Steven Universe" season 4 will take care of that when it returns with new episodes and with Burch.

As for the return date, "Steven Universe" season 4 is expected to premiere on Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, at least according to the listings at Episodate and TV Maze. "Gem Harvest," which will be a 30-minute episode, is said to be inspired by the holiday.
